Unfortunately, most of those types won't learn anything because of all the unlicensed brokers cheerleading on the sidelines.

I have been sitting on the sidelines but it’s seems like there’s a lot to learn and I just don’t want to jump in just for the sake of it.

I'm waiting on the sidelines to see what happens with the rent control proposition that's coming up on the Nov ballot.

My wife and I are sitting on the sidelines.

Right now i just sit on the sidelines and watch everyone create these amazing deals.

I pulled the manual just to verify and of course the return comes in the side line.  

@CL TumlinThe problem is not about age, the problem is about whether you would start investing in RE now....And no one should start to invest in RE now, is my opinion....Coastal expensive cities peaked in price in Q1 2018 and have seen a 10%-15% drop so far ... the rest of the country is just getting start to top off too.....similar to 2008....in my opinion And there will be 2-4 more years of price drop ahead of us....So, no, I don’t suggest anyone getting started now...sit on the sideline for 2 more years

It never feels good buying in a sellers market but you either figure out a way to make it work or sit on the sidelines while everyone else makes money and expands their portfolio, if the alternative is money rotting away in a bank account or you not being leveraged at all its not even a question about which path is better.

Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines.

The market here is HOT, so I might be on the waiting on the sidelines a little longer, but will continue watching and learning in the meantime!
