You can't grow a flourishing mustache and make extravagant promises about your "gently pre-owned vehicles" as a used car salesman.

The real estate market is no different than any other market. there are highs and lows, booms and crashes. to predict it would be tough. there are many variables that decide the real estate market specificalljy. when the stock market is doing very well which it is right now, eventually there will be a correction. as the stock market goes up your suppose to sell on the ups and buy on the downs. real estate is the same way buy low and hold and depending on strategy you can sell on the high or just pull out equity and wait for a market to go down. in real estate though it takes longer periods for market to go up or go down. in the stock market it can happen in a matter of days and weeks.no reason to predict an up or down movement in any market just be prepared for when it happens!

If your buying stand alone rentals in non appreciating markets or markets that historically move very little then positive cash flow is the only reason to do it in the first place.If you buy in markets that history of strong upward movement then neutral cash flow or a little negative is fine in my book..

I'm new(ish) to the RE world, as well as the FIRE movement.  

I remember these books, they would have sketches of each player's position and movement to form designs or letters.
