The REAL players have to deal with new nonsense and new "players" in town that make everyone's business' harder to operate than usual.Hey, maybe something like a recession that may or may not be coming will wipe out all these "players" 🙂

Thanks David, that aligns with my initial thought process; Many will see the opportunity for business in SWFL, particularly if we are in a recession and we see a larger impact on unemployment in the Country. 

Property values in Mississippi went up a lot right after Katrina but they went way down a few years into the Recession.

So you either have to have a really strong down a great job that isn't going there anywhere in the recession and you are an extremely qualified buyer and you're purchasing a home that's in a really super-duper area that's a little over exaggerated but at the end of the day, the goal of the lender's right now is to slow the pace of the market down by restricting lending and putting the money on the sideline.

They fell again after during the recession, unfortunately. 

Investors benefit from their research, expertise, and track records, in the form of stable, pretty predictable outcomes; 3) I would much rather leverage my investments into MF now, because I'm diversifying across hundreds of units, in areas that are recession-proof, that cater primarily to local workforce, not dependent on a single industry.

Hopefully as the US market cools (if it does) and if this recession happens, the CAN/US exchange rate will move closer to parity, making investing in the US a no-brainer.

Great public schools and constant student demand make Chapel hill more recession-resistant than many markets, but this also comes with huge demand from homebuyers.

The reason why we have some skeptics and doomsday predictors is because they are correlating a possible recession (which is still valid) with the housing market.

In a recession, people are not going to start businesses but they will still need a house to live in.
