For those of us who purchased a few properties after the crash, the appreciation is staggering.

Hard to say what the market does or if rates will event come down without a crash.  

You should watch Nick's youtube video, "The Florida Delusion is Over (the Housing Crash Will Get Worse."

Are you implying there'll be a crash?

Before the 2009 crash I remodeled, owned and lived in Oakland.

I am Currently enrolled on a Real estate Broker course and learning a ton, so hoping to take the test next month.I have been looking at the BRRRR strategy but not having any rehab experience puts me somewhat hesitant to do this. is there any experienced Fix/flip investors out there willing to give a crash course to somebody looking to get started? 

This is something because of the debt used that can cause you to crash and burn really hard if you don't have reserves.

Banks were pausing on foreclosing during the crash on properties with large hoa balances (they already had too many properties)so the hoa’s were stuck with non paying residents since no one would bid on their hoa foreclosures since they all had upside down underlying mtgs.

Crash! 

Hotels still account for 85% of all total stays.After all of the buzz the last couple of years, one would have thought that STRs took over half of the market share, and according to the headlines that is about to come crashing down.Jamie Lane, Chief Economist of AirDNA recently spoke to this on a podcast.
