The first time I was laid off it was traumatic because I my industry and the economy were in the toilet but more importantly, I didn't have enough cash flowing RE, second time.... not nearly as bad, and the third time it was my idea and I haven't lost a minute of sleep about my decision. 

Networking is huge, so connect with others in the industry, and look for mentorship programs (there are some great ones out there).

One of my tenant works for an Industrial company in the area.

I think if the industry as a whole was a little more honest with it self and with market participants you might not have as many waiting for something that is not likely to happen in the short term. if you need a house, you need a house. but, if you think something will change in 6 months you might be able to hold on, but if it likely will not change in the near term you might just bite the bullet and buy. 

I’ve seen situations like this before..one old friend of mine in Austin had a few industrial buildings where the cash flow was decent but not dazzling, and he was itching for a way to ramp things up.

If you are near any industries or Hospitals it may be worth looking into MTR's as well! 

That’s why I shifted my focus to the Midwest, where industries are growing and property prices are still affordable.

After decades of work in the industry, and in Green House design and administration, she is very comfortable with the model of establishing relationships with a home health provider for on-site care.

It is a very volatile industry and its experiencing diverging trends.

My guess is that finding good staff in this industry remains hard to find.
