Those who are most successful buying SFH's buy in markets that experience a sudden  appreciation event/spike in home ownership  creating an end buyer market that no longer consists primarily of investors.

Rather than entering and exiting based on market timing, I prefer to change an investment focus/strategy depending where I think the investment cycle is.Per Wells-Fargo analysis tomorow, the future is Fed 2/5 Notes yield around 4% so 50-70bps lower than today and it would not be like in the previous 40 years where there would be a huge spike down "reverse V".So if we assume the Fed Note at 4.25% and healthy spread is 200bps, we expect the Commercial Rate Note to settle at 5.7-6.75% in the long run.Having said that, if cap rate settles at 6.5-7.0 that's a pretty healthy spread, so I expect the valuation to down 50 to 100 bps from today.I see lot of "funds" level syndication these days, almost none of them running in healthy financial metrics.

This combined with the city's approval on a massive amount of construction spiked inventory, then crime went up, and then the rates went up.

Expect a spike in mortgage applications (I'm not sure what other lenders are seeing) but we've issued 20+ Pre Quals the past few weeks and the majority of borrower inquiries are very well qualified. 

@David Smith I was lucky enough to get a proposal from TV host on spike TVs to handle operations via a management contract.

Short term rents spike but long term they will hold to typical inflation numbers I think.

@Wayne Lee When rates were super low 2 years ago, and prices hadn't totally spiked, many investors got lazy because almost they could buy anything on the MLS at asking price and cashflow as a rental.As prices went up, many investors started investing in STRs to get properties at asking price to cashflow.Now, many are chasing Class C properties to get them to cashflow at asking price.What consistencies do you see in all three of those scenarios?

Steady appreciation: While not experiencing the dramatic spikes of some markets, Midwest real estate has shown consistent, stable growth over time.3.

Properties are selling just as quickly as they were last year despite a 68% spike in inventory.

I think the banks are going to see a spike in defaults in which people will be paying massive monthly payments due to increased PITI and may inevitably default on the mortgage.
