Once you find a good property to invest in, you need to finance the impending transaction then.Financing a real estate deal tends to send new investors into a fit of anxiety or is even enough to compel them to pack up their dreams and retreat to their nine-to-five job.

One thing I see now, and still coming, is the emergence of private lending and mortgages as a major force.A huge vacuum has been suddenly left by the banks retreating, and capital will find return.

@Vincent Crane  my take on this is there will always be communities or regions that lose a major employer or some other demographic change.. so those markets can see a retreat and or crash I guess.I personally think if your waiting on the side lines for another GFC to happen were some markets compressed 70 to 80% I don't see that happening on a large scale like the GFC.and here are my reasons:1. too many properties have been bought with cash.. those folks just ride it out2. millions of homes now have 2 to 4% interest rates payments far less than rent those folks ride it out... 3.

The other thing to look at in the HV are people from NYC who want a "country" retreat in the HV.  

As such, I tend to go to real-estate to retreat away from that.

I think long term this area is great and if you can use it personally as a LA/OC/SD retreat, it might be priceless! 

@ Karlyn Brasselmon,I attended a women's retreat a few years back; and on the last evening of the retreat, there was a panel of 3 older professional women to ask questions of.

:Hi @Minh Le ,When  stock market goes down, mortgage interest rates go up (making it more difficult for people to qualify for - and/or afford) - the higher mortgage payment.Need to correct myself: When stock market goes down, investors retreat to bonds that in turn pushes interest down.
