The Saturday evening coverage predicted a massive civil suit is likely.

Markets can't really be predicted.

Hi BiggerPockets,I came across this video (haven't had time to watch it through the end yet): https://youtu.be/oQJRGgTBn6wThe economist James Dale Davidson, who got famous from predicting the subprime crisis among other things, believes that the US economy is about to collapse in 2017 and that real estate will drop 40% in the next...six months!

I'm not trying to predict the market - which I know is impossible - but with the data anything is possible :-).

If the answer is that OVERTIME is NOT going to pay you as much but not as bad as you thought, and you say to yourself, well... my job is a guarantee while Wholesaling is not as predictable, then this can justify doing overtime at your job than just trying wholesaling.Investing in a Buy and Hold will be a bit of work in the beginning when you are educating yourself (the right education, that is), finding the right Investment Property, finding the right tenants by doing your DUE DILIGENCE (and please get this part right), may wind up being a very passive Investment which can pay you equally as well as your Overtime.

The number following it is the predicted depth of the 100 year flood. 

No one can predict the future.Is a house that has been around for 65 years all of a sudden going to develop a foundation problem on its own if nothing changes? 

I predict that the 3 units will cover the mortgage. yet that is it. 

If you truly wanted to get into RE big data mining, you could consider natural language classification techniques to see what patterns exist and if there are words/groups of words that predict good deals.
