I would also keep an eye& ear out for the emerging innovators, every significant economic shift and calamity breeds innovators and those innovators require seed capital, think Facebook, Google, Netflix and so on, those early $ investors made multipliers on their capital that makes any other investment pale in comparison.

There's a difference.2 - Don't rationalize a bad deal into a good one3 - Don't spend your seed money...use it to infinity though4 - Learn "How Money Works"...and what I'm saying here probably isn't what you think I'm saying.5 - Learn "How to Analyze Markets"...not just properties.6 - Learn how to, and then execute, a "REI Plan"...long term and short.

You need to plant the seed now and the rest is about timing.As far as FSBO - I think they are a waste. 

First of all, Nate Diaz should be single handedly be responsible for Stockton, CA taking the #1 seed. 

Many investors say that the money you use maintaining a license is better spent investing in RE, but I take the view that hustling and making extra money as an agent will give me some seed cash to invest.

The bubble is always 18 months away :)Here are similar pundits who predicted crashes, with excellent numbers and reasoning behind them, over the past five years. 2013: Denver Post: “Buyers Caught in a Price Squeeze”CNBC: “Housing Market Already Shows Signs of a New Bubble”2014: New York Times: “The Bubble Is Back”Fortune: “Why the Housing Recovery is over, in four charts”2015: CNBC (Again): “Housing today: A ‘bubble larger than 2006’”National Review: “We’ve inflated another bubble; count on the crash.”2016: CNN: “Housing bubble fears have returned”MarketWatch: “The Seeds of the Next Housing Crisis have already been planted”2017: Forbes: “58% of Homeowners Think The Housing Market is Set for a Correction”USA Today: “Hot Housing Market Could Cool in 2018”2018: Bloomberg: “This Rare Bear Who Called the Crash Warns Housing is Too Hot Again”I think that if you are afraid of a bubble, you'll never invest, and will surely lose.

Should any of the investors in Texas have a supply source for getting seeds for the Texas Grey watermelon - I would greatly appreciate the contact info!

Do you think the balance will eventually shift, and people will move out of cities to plant seeds instead of into cities to plant seed capital?

I always try to be the one seed of legitimacy among a sea of BS...

I have put my seed money in and at this point it needs to be self sustaining from rents and investing the money into stocks while waiting for the next deal.
