You need to be able to buy in all types of environments, no one has a crystal ball.We're net buyers of industrial NNN, no better time to lock in long term debt...

I wish I had a crystal ball like @Chris Seveney!

Quote from @Crystal Smith: Quote from @John Hall: Hey BPNeed some advice for a newbie who's just getting started.

I think you need to be crystal clear about what you are hoping to gain by becoming a real estate professional.

I give a little grace on pets, but make it wildly crystal clear that I treat pet damage the same as people damage.

Unless there's something I missed, I don't believe we're going to negative rates any time soon.No one has a crystal ball to time or predict the market.

Now you have 2 properties and still have all your equity from your sale.The good thing is, you have options, because you have capital and your VA entitlement, which can be a great combination if you want to have rental properties.But as far as renting vs buying now, there is no crystal ball. 

No one has a crystal ball to know what housing prices are going to do here in San Diego over the next 5 years, but I think it's safe to say that interest rates are going to go up.
