Im tired of sitting on the sideline watching.

The opportunity costs of sitting on the sidelines is IMMENSE!!  

For me it was the realization that just standing on the sidelines wasn't going to make me any money.

The values have gone up so much lately that I can afford to pay all taxes now and sit on the sidelines.

The only 2 options are finding motivated sellers, which of course is difficult but they are out there if you hustle to find them, or 2, sit on the sidelines waiting for the next downturn... but of course that could be 3 years, it could be 8-10 years.

Whatever projects seem like they are going to be a massive hassle, will probably just get sidelined entirely until I have the time to deal with it.  

But once again only if in the case of my daughter who lives there or were it my farm and I have no plans to move to Texas anytime soon albeit were I to move from SoCal it would be to Austin for a lot of reasons.So where I'm going with all of this as a 70 year old Pops & Poppy is there's noting wrong with sitting on the sidelines and continuing to hold cash until the fog of the future lifts and we can begin to see things a little more clearly.My 3 cents adjusted for inflation.

Ive been on the sidelines, of BP and REI for years now.

well you just motivated me.im on the sidelines...at least you are calling, making offers, and even getting props under contract. stay strong, one will happen!

There are a few small pockets in the city that are up and coming,  such as midtown,  but the prices in those neighborhoods reflect that.There are reasons why a lof of investors are sitting on the sidelines and not jumping in when they can buy houses for pennies on the dollar.
