Gayle, I can't give you specific advice on time to sell, but I am working with investors every day from all across California, who are thinking about moving their investments.  

My goal is to take what I know, learn more, and apply it to my everyday intentions.

The best product someone could use to payoff their mortgage the fastest, while still having the ability to function their everyday life, is a 1st Lien Heloc.

I will definitely read some of the books you mentioned and will start analyzing properties every day.

I have a son out of work, he is looking everyday and with misdemeanors they are turning him down. 

Keep us posted DLP-> I guess you learn something new every day.

Yea I get this question every day.

How are you paying for everyday items without a consistent income?

Take a look at BP's blog where new articles are published every day: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog4.

@Noah Harms - if you don't know, Dave is the host of our BiggerPockets Real Estate podcast and also the head of RE investing here at BP so this guy is in the data every day and really knows what he is talking about.
