Quote from @Crystal Kennedy: Does anyone have any good recommendations for a tax professional that knows real estate/multifamily/airbnb?

Not saying I have a perfect crystal ball on this, but we need to see how this ruling will affect the industry, especially buyers.I read a while ago how the avg/median loan was somthing like 7% down. 

Some people like to bet big and potentially lose big, we prefer to place medium size bets and consistently win more modest rewards.By primarily investing in properties with an all-in cost under $100,000, we often have multiple viable exit strategies in case the original one does not work out (we don’t pretend to have a guaranteed crystal ball, but we do like to have options at the end, and we find that our students do as well!)

It may not be crystal clear, but the way I read it is that at one time they completed 650 deals in a year. 

Hey @Laura NA - It's probably both you and your realtor, but if you are even asking the question about your realtor that means it's probably time for a new realtor.I think the most important you can do that will this situation is come up with a crystal CLEAR buy box for your property. 

Everybody has their own crystal ball, but I wouldn't bank on net increase in rent 2-10 years. 

Either way a crystal clear scope will go a long ways!

The acceleration of low rates has faded and we find ourselves similar to our previous norm for growth.I don't pretend to possess a crystal ball, no investor or agent could, but drawing on my experience in the daily dynamics of the market here in Raleigh, and looking at the facts, a price drop seems unlikely in the next few years.

It's hard to hit your goal if you aren't crystal clear on what the goal actually is.

:D@Crystal Smith, that's definitely been the case :), but I don't have a solid team like yourself.
