My previous and current investing experience has been primarily market timing speculation purchases of new homes during appreciation cycles.

So much for the appreciation is "speculation" theory! 

It’s not compulsory to stay to one explicit supply rigidly; even a mixture of varied completely different sources may be used.Anyone is speculative the way to raise cash for a eating house, a start-up, associate degree agency, or the other small-scale venture ought to keep these ways in mind.

I'm not completely sure about the downturn, but can speculate that the tourism industry suffered during the recession, but seems to be rebounding pretty well now.I was just throwing it out there on posting those properties.

As long as real estate loans remain tied to wages, it prevents a boom from turning into a mania like 2005-2006 was. 2002 thru 2004 was a boom, 2005 thru 2006 was a mania. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubbleAn economic bubble (sometimes referred to as a speculative bubble, a market bubble, a price bubble, a financial bubble, a speculative mania or a balloon) is trade in an asset at a price or price range that strongly deviates from the corresponding asset's intrinsic value. 

I am not going to judge regardless how people are going to invest/speculate.

There is no sense speculating on what could be done if the $$ man won't let you do it. 

Gen X'ers were already in their mid 30's by 2004, so there is a big difference in the continued demand that will be coming as Millennials finally meet the perfect match on Tinder and decide to settle down, have kids and buy their first home.The housing boom in the early-mid 2000's was driven by speculation and lax regulation.

Understood the OP is planning to post results later but for now, I don't understand what is expected to be gained from the back and forth speculation. 

@Joe splitrock, @Russell Brazil, @Thomas S.Wow lot's of totally speculative cop hate here.
