When I did that, I did not rent to the natives and it was a tough go for the first few years.

These are the type of posts/articles that I'm not sure how to react.  

Unfortunately, most people who react negatively are just negative people, period.

Excited to see how the market reacts.

Of course the market will not see it that way and likely over react. 

I am a native of Pittsburgh 23 years there and have lived in SoCal for the last 11 years cutting my teeth in the mortgage and real estate fields. 

Spokane-semi native here.

You have no control over how the seller reacts..

I'm somewhat of a native having spent the first 22 summers of my life in the area, so I understand the seasonality of the market knowing there are about 12 potential summer rental weeks but only about 8 premium weeks.  

So was the stock market happy about the election and direction of the administration....or was it really the bond market being much more unhappy about the election and direction of the administration.This isnt really the forums for political discourse, but there is some clear overlap that is hard to completely avoid, especially if we are talking about the way markets react to the political environment.
