This means you can use the inflation trend to predict where the market will bottom out next, and anticipate when the best time to buy will be. 

Now I understand that there is nothing that will explicitly tell you and predict accurate ROI.

Will likely have mixed sources for down payment and initial investment (family assistance and bank loans).Looking for suggestions and resources on where to start on analyzing neighborhood early trends/growth predictions, best mortgage options to consider, and general tips/tales of experience as first time home buyers and rental property managers/investors. 

Looks like short term rates are going to come back down .. and long term rates have come back down.do you all think this is going to extend this run.. or why would be go into recession in the short term.people have been predicting recession now for a few years..  

They are predicting a recession about 3-5 quarters away. 

There was also a notable, yet predictable spike before the 08 crash. 

This is a bankruptcy sale so I understand this will get bid up from the $200k start price, my prediction is as high as $350k-400k, I would hope for much lower, but I am mentally prepared for these price levels.

Since you do not say where it is also makes it harder to predict what you will save with 10% less down. 

@Mike McCarthy in my experience speed, availability, and predictably.
