@ Karlyn Brasselmon,I attended a women's retreat a few years back; and on the last evening of the retreat, there was a panel of 3 older professional women to ask questions of.

:Hi @Minh Le ,When  stock market goes down, mortgage interest rates go up (making it more difficult for people to qualify for - and/or afford) - the higher mortgage payment.Need to correct myself: When stock market goes down, investors retreat to bonds that in turn pushes interest down. 

Hi @Keva Niver, I would love to connect and learn more about your RV park/campground business and Boheme Retreats.

In fact, we didn't even real a real retreat of prices &/or values. 

They’ve got various retreats and conferences scheduled and I believe are looking to create various levels eventually starting with the current one and then going up cost wise to a couple much higher level expensive ones.

Maybe they will but I haven't seen any independent coffee shops, yoga studios etc opening in those areas, not one, so you may have a long haul unless you open one yourself (which I always thought might be an interesting real estate value add strategy).

To do so, my husband and I take a retreat together at least once a year to discuss our real estate investment goals and plan for the coming year, as well as ten years out.

& Gold is retreating $1280I often wonder if history will repeat itself with a 'dead cat bounce' & then a drop reminiscent of the '80's

Doesn't your son have anxiety and his physician recommended a quiet retreat that he go to when stressed?
