It looks like Silicon Valley job growth has peaked and is decelerating, economic conditions are declining from cyclically elevated levels, the stock market drop cannot help, and the CA leading index looks like it tends to towards the end of a cycle..

Are you noticing higher labor costs with an elevated market right now?

Some climate is of course is impacted by elevation so it's not exactly cut and dried but generally that would serve as a guide.BTW I vote for Denver but I'm biased and I know we don't have the stock of multis that other older areas do.

I worked out a deal with the sellers where we elevated the sales price and commission to me a bit and they paid my closing costs.  

@Ekaterina Gelashvili, I have a SFR in a flood zone in louisiana that requires flood insurance at $2,000/yr, because the home is under the base flood elevation.

For me I would look at an eviction as a life long black list or reason for ridiculous down payment or elevated rent.

I truly believe that biggerpockets is a great tool to elevate my career.

When I started seeing signs of the market getting frothy again, I sold 2 properties in San Diego and 1031 exchanged over to Memphis to build cash flow in a "stable" market.Once San Diego real estate crashes next time, I may return to do the same thing over again and ride the appreciation elevator up.  

Next time you have the answer.You also need an elevator speech, which is a 1-2 minute summary of what you do in real estate.

The time frame is 8 months after the initial purchase and the surrounding properties have elevated in value and/or I just bought it in distresses position to score the property for 100k.After the cash out refi: 150k out - 110k = 40k in my pocket.
