@Kahntineta Ford  If by oversaturated you mean excess supply, then no, I do not believe so. 

We have been packing for weeks :( If we now have to stage our home again for sale we have to first find the stuff, and unpack...This is a nightmare.How the heck can a lender pull out financing so close and with zero indication this would happen?

A few specific points that I've heard are:Many markets are far into the Expansion stage with Hypersupply being the next phase of the cycleCAP rates are compressingGreat deals are harder to come byMany deals selling for more than the NOI warrants or at lower CAP ratesModerate to high new construction in many areasMany investors going outside of their normal markets to find opportunitiesInterest rate hikes on the horizonWhat are your thoughts on the current state of the apartment market?

There are just way to many good performing notes to ( at least for me) knowingly buy into a problem.And many of these folks doing it when you talk with them.. they are totally in the honeymoon stages.. having an experience level of buy maybe 1 to 5 notes in last year or so..Just one thing to remember there are law firms that specialize in keeping people in their homes.. for years on end without paying this is just one  item.Drive around VEgas you will see the bill boards... big bad bank coming after you call me.. for 1k I can keep you in your home for up to a year

New laws were the only variables that didn't exist before and at the end of the day, it's an issue of excessive credit, and you can't have excessive credit without artificially low interest rates.    

Perhaps finding treasures at resale shops and refinishing them and then offering to use them to stage properties (for a price).

They are national direct lenders who have the big stage and therefore are able to have dedicated (sales men) who give you the some and dance and disappear after you start the under writing process.

You can sleep well knowing that in Texas excess proceeds from a tax sale go to the property owner.

It really didn’t amount to anything then, but at this stage of the game, I feel that RE needs to be part of my ACCELERATED passive income plan.I look forward to learning and networking.Jay

newbie here too. just wished to introduce myself. formerly from washington, dc, i'm just getting started in the staging arena in california and i'm looking to make some connections as well. thanks and sincerely, sydney
