There are many investors sitting on the sidelines right now looking for deals.

I think this winter we will see some of the best deals we've seen because rates will likely still be high, many people are sitting on the sidelines, it's difficult to go and see properties, etc. 

There is way way way too much CASH on the sidelines – THEY ALWAYS chase higher yields.I don’t know what #3 above will exactly look like.

I'm in the sidelines waiting to scoop up ashes. 

Couple this with fact that I live in a HCOL city (NYC), and I'm pretty much sitting on the sidelines until interest rates drop (if they drop) or housing prices crack.Any ideas on what I can do to get started?

The biggest anticipated buyer hurdle on the horizon is a significant drop in mortgage rates that would force a flood of sidelined demand to come into play. 

It has been a frustrating experience sitting on the sidelines with funds ready to go (at least I am getting a 5% return). 

Been watching and learning from the sidelines through mentorships, watching BP podcasts, and now about to finish my education for my real estate licensure here in FL.

And to be honest, we have sold most of our Notristown portfolio and are sitting on the sidelines for now (WRT single family).  

I have followed the BP for a while and decided to stop sitting on the sideline and get in the game!
