yes we are flattening the curve, but only till another wave comes through.

And wait until the wave heads upward after the prices drop.You can get your first property, preferably a house hack.

Agree: A wave of housing foreclosures and lease defaults has begun.

There are also 4 personality types, described easily as animals or more new wave as DISC.

Knowing where the next wave of development is happening in a city. 

Pay cash be local and hands on and realize what your dealing with and don't evict over co pay not paying.. too much debt right now going into non appreciating assets is  what I see.. and that will really hurt investors when they decide heck this simply is not worth it.. its not financial freedom its financial ball and chain and they go to exit and its not pretty.. when you own in cash you can ride the waves   sit out the thunderstorms and you have a variety of exits that are real and can be achieved without loss of capital. 

That is the sterotype at least.The new wave of "boomers" born between 1977 and 1994 are the future of America, generation Y.

Jobs are coming in waves...starting with the small to medium sized businesses moving across the boarder. 

I personally would not recommend it to buyers, but waving the inspection and/or appraisal is very appealing to sellers as well.

I am not discounting your arguments as I know these are big factors for many people but people leaving NY/NJ to retire in Florida is not new and it’s likely a large wave of baby boomers are doing what everyone else has done for decades,  there are just more of them.
