if you're just starting out like me, i'm finding value in connecting with the local community to find the key players on my team. with that said, i mine/calculate data to help me make investment decisions in the local market like what @Christi Hawkins said about an hour away and focus on those properties. do market analysis, have you tried the brrr calculator in bp?

Does the player who never shows up for practice and can't master basic drills get time on the court?

People who knew everything about the NFL, MLB, or NBA and all the players and stats, but couldn't be bothered to read or study one thing that would help them grow and improve. 

They are in complete control of their selling time horizon, and can keep the property indefinitely until prices return.While all of these players can win, I think it's important to recognize the risk profile and how the types of debt used to buy property can dramatically change the risk profile.

It's complex and there are a lot of players and reasons.

CA startups are like a young NBA team composed of players fresh out of college.East coast pharm giants are like an old NBA teams with players in their 50s, where young players are sitting on bench.Who will win?

@Suzanne Player I'm seeing a little bit of everything. 

Real Estate is so widespread that those laws will never be a player in this game (one of the reasons why we all like this game so much!)

There is literally nothing the same between these two incident, different catalyst, different mitigating factors, different starting, different players, different responses, different governmental level of primary response, just all around different. 

They gave me a lot of good information, such as who the major players are in the area, what a 2,3 and 4 bedroom SFH would typically rent to students for per month and also how much the student population is projected to grow over the next 5-10 years.
