Good morning, I was just wondering if anyone has recent experience with the Crystal River area?

@Matt R. and @Michael SwanWhile my crystal ball is not always accurate, there are some statistics regarding the San Diego market that are worth keeping an eye on.  

hey Account Closed , next time you teach the class "how to be a perfect investor and use my proprietary crystal ball to all avoid all mistakes" will you send me an invite?  

It's all become crystal clear...

"The apartments are nice - they aren't palaces though.

For example, if you or your investors are buying property for flipping and using loaned money to make the deal (as most of us do), too much speculation and too much leverage in your position could spell disaster (as your exit strategy will be affected and more property coming onto the market in your range will make it harder to dump the properties).However, if you are in for buy and hold strategies, then the rents you are getting could isolate you from declines in property value, as the cash flow will help to cover your monthly obligations and things can continue as normal (as long as your numbers are sound and you are taking into consideration all of the expenses).As no one has a crystal ball into the future, we know all of these investments have a bit of speculation to them, but we use information, leverage and market conditions to hedge our positions.

I dwelt with Crystal and Aurtoro and the later was more professional. 

If you're counting on appreciation...I don't have a crystal ball but I think that we are running a little high around here already, so wouldn't bank on it.

That's what I did in 2005 and that seemed to work out well.I know there's not a crystal ball out there but I'm curious as to what is a good strategy right now.
