@Crystal Smith Thank you so much!

You can find me on Instagram under Sound Palace Design.

Read David Lindahl's Multifamily Millions and his emerging market book and it will all become crystal clear for you.  

My crystal ball says we have not reached the peak yet, but natural disaster is hard to predict. 

No, no one has a crystal ball and will know what will happen in the next year, but over much longer periods of time, the market has predictable cycles.

If I had a crystal ball I would have bought 5+ years ago in San Francisco.

@Matt R. and @Michael SwanWhile my crystal ball is not always accurate, there are some statistics regarding the San Diego market that are worth keeping an eye on.  

If any of you have access to the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, you can follow along with David Crystal's argument that English-language cultures worldwide, also known as BANA (British, North American, Australian) have always been progressively less linguistically open than most other European-origin cultures since the Viking conquests.The old joke says it all.What do you call someone who speaks many languages?

I suggest researching your areas of interest, establishing your CCC (crystal clear criteria), and then seeing what's available in all of your areas.
