No one wants to be 10% short on stock when laying a floor and there is substantial waste just because of the different floor sizes and shapes.

so predicting a crash on the peninsula has been great sport now for the last 4 decades.. the biggest crash happened in SF in 89 to 92 prices did crash some then.. but then made new highs by mid to late 90s.. and now with TEch fully entrenched you have a world class city with no peer.. prices are taking a breather ..

Hi Michael, and if you are looking for something like 8% or even 10%, does not stock market look better than RE at this point?

However, might it be better to "cash out", pay the capital gains on the house now, and then invest what is left in the stock market or some other investment?

Hopefully, this introduction will be one more 'push' for me to get started.2) I like to work with people.3) RE feels more 'real' and engaging than the stock market.4) I want the financial freedom.What do you think?

It's typically a pretty predictable 30 day process, and with a hiccup you might push to 60 days, but it makes jumping into even high-risk areas a lot less daunting.

I have roughly $27,000 in retirement and stocks that I have been investing (I did internships all through college).

This is not an abstract game.It seems to me that investors who look for thrills would go for day trading on stocks or crypto.Still, she gives great advice on how to improve one's game and not get complacent.

Nobody can predict the exact top of the market but personally I would SELL SELL SELL!

@Lee Bell @Michael Kistner I currently make a few hundred a month swing trading stocks.
