I know how difficult it is to let a good deal go and stand on the sidelines with little investment capital.

It'll still work even under my most pessimistic numbers (if I don't refi) but the out of pocket amount will sideline my investing for a while.

The market is going to be flooded with cash that has just been sitting on the side lines and some very good things can come from this.

There is a lot of cash sitting on the sidelines and afraid of residential market right now.

I've also adapted a business model where 10% of every major good deal that goes through, gets funneled directly to these kinds of efforts--kind of helps keep me humble, oriented on what's really important, and makes sure it doesn't get brushed to the sidelines in a money making bonanza.

It will be a side line for me - while we continue to build custom.

If you're in it for cash flow and aren't looking to sell anytime soon, sitting on the sidelines even with an expectation of declining prices doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe staying on the sidelines for a while really is the best option there.I know the easy answer is "well just move!".

Sit on the sidelines in cash and await the inevitable capitulation phase of the bubble burst....could still be 2 yrs away.

I've been sitting on the sidelines (mostly) but it looks like there will be lots of REAL DEALS coming on the market in the coming year.
