Had we sold that summer, we would have had a tax problem from the appreciation.We started to see the rental market fall off in the Fall of 2007 coinciding with the extreme rise in gas prices.Of course, that meant that we and other owners were no longer breaking even on the rentals and there has been an extreme glut in cabins available due to foreclosure and distressed sales.Prices have plunged and what were once cash flowing properties are now bleeding cash.We have enough assets to weather the storm but most do not.

When the virus hit, demand plunged, and the market slowed.

Hello BP Community,My name is Larry and I've been a lurker for a while, but ready to take the plunge into real estate investing.

Having those 2 angels in my life are what ultimately made me take the plunge.

Now to expand on that word: BP is the indispensable and cost effective "Swiss Army Knife" of Real Estate knowledge that every investor should have in his or her toolbox.Being a newbie investor, that took an interest in Real Estate Investing (REI) years ago but never took the plunge because of lacking confidence, I have had quite the experience learning from such knowledgeable investors who are so willing to impart that valuable knowledge freely.

I am on the verge of taking the plunge.

After listening to Dave Van Horn's podcast a few times and spending a lot of time researching note investing I am ready to take the plunge.

I've been doing research for a long time now but it is taking me forever to take that plunge and buying my first property.

I took the plunge and bought Quickbooks Desktop.

First time investor so very scared to make the plunge.
