I did very little work because funds were tight, but the market is booming in Spokane and there's very little inventory - and I had multiple offers.

Different strokes for different folks.I'm handy with a weapon , deadly accurate, and have a nice collection of boom sticks.

it's easy to get land through tax certs, i got many lots that way and missed making a lot of $$$ by not selling at the peak of the boom

While refugee housing was certainly a booming market, I would not say it is due to expand a whole lot more in the near future.

There's a glut of foreclosures on the market and the rental market is booming.

Louisville is booming!

BOOM!

Then boom covid happened.

I don't have as much experience as others with RE but I can definitely tell you that statistically the track record of investors in being able to buy low and sit on their hands in boom times is abysmal in every asset market.

Those who have lived in this area are very familiar with the boom and bust as evident by vacant commercial building that remained so for a decade.
