I have a lot of freedom of movement at this stage in my life, so I want to choose a place that I will LOVE and that will allow me to carry out my goals in real estate.Thanks,Harry

I’m intrigued by the recent movement in short term rental arbitrage, both from a landlord perspective (marketing and renting to folks looking to conduct short term rental arbitrage) and from an arbiter perspective.

I don't have any idea of what I should be looking at to predict the market, though it looks like the gobbling up of foreclosures is the movement towards the equilibrium, and inflows into the system, clearing up a lot of the bad debt.

As a perpetual low ball offer type of person you have to realize something.

In a case like that, I'd say they weren't on board with the movement to start with.However, I have a PASSION for real estate and a burning desire to build an empire of properties and I would still plow my money into real estate even if other alternatives offered better returns in the near term. 

Unless repealed or terminated, these changes to the rent code will live in perpetuity.

We have seen movement in properties in all areas of the city.

So you have these folks with 760 FICO scores who are perfectly happy to ignore the orders of a judge, or who are perpetually unable to pay their entirely predictable income taxes year after year after year & have to continually make payment arrangements because their payment is always late. 

@Jessica Schenk If you can, try and practice the lifestyle of the FIRE movement, or financial independence, retire early.

We have (with @Seth Nowak) started a Green Apartment Network in our area to really get this movement going.
