@Kenny Berrios the reason people keep predicting a recession and housing crash is because of recency bias.

Every loan I've worked on and every flipper I've met averages 25-40% of the purchase price tops for repairs + material costs + labor... not "just in repairs" so this seems extremely negative, or location-biased at best if other locations are truly that bad repair wise.3.Turn where?

I'm biased toward buy and hold so thats what I tend to recommend,    but given the age of the home,  hopefully its systems are in good shape so you could do some low cost cosmetic upgrades now, operate it as a rental for a few years and let the area appreciate,   then do another round of upgrades more focused on resale value, then sell it.   

I'm of course biased since we run a direct mailing printing business but we see the results day in and day out.

I definitely have a bias as Im in the biotech industry and would like to pursue an MBA myself.

There is a recency biased that the FED will just keep pumping the market up and can inflate it just by cutting rates.

I think inflation is underreported, the metrics for the official numbers are biased or completely inaccurate and we are in a trough, and due to the suspension of US fiscal responsibility, are likely to see inflation accelerate in the next few years.

PERSONALLY, again, just personally, I have a HIGE bias to being “in town”.

House hacking in San Diego will allow you to capitalize on appreciation while you cash flow and live in one of the greatest cities in the country (I may be a little biased).
