(BTW, I know some people talk about how if it's 1-4 residential, valuation should be based just on sold comps, but I do like running #s on even 1-4 residential when you're looking to hold because it provides a more precise way of seeing how a property can make money today, without speculating, which is what I feel comps are at times.)

I would make sure whoever comes out runs a camera so you can actually identify the problem rather than continue to speculate.

This is the lowest priced house on the market and the agent expects to receive multiple bids on it.Last December, I saw a SFH in San Mateo in a little better area, 2000 sf, 850 k and stayed on the market for over 4 weeks.In my view, mid peninsula market will see a record high in 2017, contrary to a lot of speculation that it will decrease.

I would hope that these two industries continue to pave the way and help fuel regional growth, but I don’t really like to speculate too much.

It's always speculation.

That's speculation.

You are basically gambling that the markets will not turn and that you are not so unlucky that you die before you determine enough is enough and sell.Cash flow is low risk, appreciation, also known as speculation, is high risk.

I interpret this as the market being squeezed into speculative pricing.

@Jesse HouserReal Estate versus Other Types of “Speculation” Had to fix your title 😜Seriously though🤷‍♂️

If you speculate a crash then you should reinvest your exchange into multi family.
