After 20 years as an investor I'm sitting on the side lines - why do you want to buy today when it will PROBABLY be 10% cheaper in 6-12 month.

I think that most of the bad earnings news are already reported as the companies that lost their shirt with bad investments have already reports bad earnings once or twice.You can say what you want about the dollar, but all the more reason for money on the sidelines to own assets instead of waiting around longer.

It may be better to find stable, Linear markets that still have room to grow and invest for cashflow, rather than just sit on the sidelines waiting for the downturn.Do you think that the multifamily industry is over saturated with investors at the present time due to the growth in real estate since 2008?

I definitely am on the sidelines now after this year. 

It took me 4 years to go from watching on the sidelines to finally making the plunge. 

Now, I am nowhere as experienced as some other guys on this forum, but I feel like, if you're always anticipating the markets, you'll always be on the sideline.

This downturn will happen eventually, no one knows.I have a friend that has been on the sidelines for the stock market since 2013.

So, I have been around Real Estate sitting on the side lines waiting with all kinds of excuses.So, I recently purchased my first property at the Sheriff sale held in Mercer County.

I’m a patient one, but I may be on the sidelines for quite a while during these times.

Those who waited on the sidelines to buy in hopes of a market downturn just lost another 7.8%.
