Commercial deals have slowed up as the general sentiment there is "wait and see".

So far, I’m getting the same sentiments from the bank since essentially the repayment doesn’t change.

I understand that the market is hot now and it sounds like the US housing market is potentially peaking. the last few years where great here in NZ and trading properties is easy when sentiment is good (anything to do with on-selling deals we call "trading") I'm keen to get in to your Market but not desperate to rush in with the crowds. 

A lot of people in the area are very quick to criticize Niagara Falls because the general sentiment is that the area is bad, tenants are bad, and there is not a lot of appreciation.

Much of the sentiment around under $30k properties that you hear on BP generally (about being too good to be true), is accurate for Hampton Roads too...

This is why Bigger Pockets usually has an "anti-guru" sentiment.

Oregon WA.. there was a huge boom in the post war 50's to 60s  ergo they made the movie Glen Garry Glenn Ross.. were developers really marketed this stuff.. also its what created Florida.just look at Lehigh Acres  300k lots platted recorded roads pushed through no homes.. those lots are traded still to this day back and forth up and down just talk to @John Thedford  he lives there.and literally every state and county has some land developments that never built out.. my first ten years in real estate from 18 years old to about 28 that's all I did was sell land.. land in those days 1975 to 1985  was the low value rental of today that is so popular in the mid west.. by 1980 houses in Cupertino were I lived were already north of 100 to 150k and by 85 were 500k.. so its the exact same sentiment you see on BP daily...

I'm always in the process of failing forward, so I'll gladly add to this convo:- I second, third, and fourth the above sentiments about screening and interviews. 

I think your sentiment is correct, for some.

So to echo @Corey Davis' sentiment, we flip for the "cash" to get the commercial properties for the "wealth."  ....
