The scar tissue aches a bit as a manipulate the spreadsheet :)In all the cycles, the people who worked as if there was no work to be had tomorrow fared the best.

Historical trends ( looking back thru the last cycle) Monthly Sales trends on an annual basis.

Free cycle, Craigslist and neighborhood sites and such used to get takers for anything free, even junk.

You need to estimate where you are in the replacement cycle.

It becomes a cycle where values keep decreasing and the neighborhood quality gets worse and worse.

I only take RE advice on markets from people that have successfully done a cycle of gentrification investing.

I think people do NOT realize that the Cycle of Appreciation in certain cities like Brooklyn is not a Wave that moves across a horizontal line.

You had to know the Cycles and the approximate events that proceed a Neighborhood as it either declines or increases (such as how a Neighborhood gentrifies), etc.In fact, this is basically the same calculations that's done with the BRRRR calculator.

Our market, like all, will cycle and not all investors will see good results.

So hard to advise not knowing your personal financial history and so on ,being that we suspect we are at the end of a up cycle the next play needs to be considered longer term.
