Wall Street loves this environment, real estate Optimists vigorously arguing with Pessimists who tear away at the value of real estate and the soundness of owning and keeping it.It keeps us occupied debating real estate rather than turning our attention to  an equally important debate, the soundness of staying in Wall Street's products.I can live in my rental if necessary.I cannot live in my Gold, Bitcoins or Wall Street portfolio.

But, over the next few years when the stock market takes a 20% or 30% hit or the real estate market "corrects" itself you will wonder if maybe you should have spent a little more time finding out what the fundamentals were.I am a huge optimist.

I am cautiously optimistic that this is not an anomaly and that I can  "rubber-stamp" this over and over.

Your most optimistic break even point is 6 months.

I'm optimistic about getting rent from most tenants next month because they should qualify for the stimulus checks.

Not too optimistic as I hunted voles at our last house for 7 years with out getting one.  

Your interpretation of that would be the cynical interpretation, optimists and apologists will point to the giant Fannie Mae database of appraisals, a database that did not exist to be cross referenced, as is currently the case, 5 or 10 years ago.

It may sound overly optimistic, but my gut is not really giving me negative vibes.

Everyone I've spoken to has received there rents on time but are less optimistic about the coming months. 

I was initially optimistic like the other guys, but now I don't think they're coming to measure for furniture
