But this happens to coincide with research that I've read indicating that historically, in any given year, the odds of a recession are ~25% (usually due to Fed adjustments of the rate - outside of clear over grown bubbles like the dot.com or previous housing bubble)BiggerPocket just echoed your sentiment on the CA > OR movement, I'd be surprised if that slowed in the short term.As far as the big companies, overall that appears strong, but as an FYI from the hospitals perspective (for whom I work for) - there are no expansion plans that I'm aware of, and we're a long ways from any job growth due to ACA.

I agree with the sentiment Evolve will do the easiest part of the job for 10%. 

I echo these sentiments that good contractors are in high demand, the same as very good subs. 

I don't share your sentiment that it's good advice to look the other way, thanks for your opinion though.

@Sean Supple I can't speak to Joshua Tree but Yucca Valley next store is looking at implementing more regulations based on public sentiment.

s general sentiment that SF and Seattle are probably near the end of their appreciation boomAnd fundamentally this is my main point :) The area I'm going for may be a nice mix of both IMO, but probably not EXTREME cash flow or EXTREME appreciation.

i often wonder if topics like this actually help contribute to a downward sentiment.
