In a buyers market when bargains abound it's hard to wrap your mind around the discount you'll need to give to get your property sold.That's why sale and purchase price should be secondary in your decision making (although, if you're a diligent investor you can always find margin between your buys and sells.).Dig into your pain points screaming for change and see what meets those.

If supply and demand can't correct the difficulty with price, then some sort of regulatory force is acting on the industry that needs to be removed, because we are all screaming for more GCs from sea to shining sea.
