Unless construction suddenly explodes and housing tracts start popping up on every vacant lot I drive by or N Korea actually launches a nuke at us, I see no reason not to be buying, leveraging and holding properties for long term rental income yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I just hope it does not suddenly pop up with a contract.

So I’ve suddenly noticed that there are posts being made in existing threads that are clearly engineered to bypass spam filters by breaking web addresses up into separate words, using words instead of punctuation, and using parentheses to break up sentences the web address is in to further confuse filters.

Friggin motivated sellers that see total logic that their dog died in their yard suddenly has a monetary value and want 200K MORE for their house and no matter how much actual functional logic you use with numbers and Bernoulli's equations, graphs, charts, sprinkled with the 3rd law of thermodynamics,.. they just do not get it.

But the best explanation I've heard for this continued appreciation is that: The Population has continued to Surge and Inventory is the lowest since it's been tracked, 1950s.I'm usually careful to have shorter term projects 3 months max, so I can see something coming and act accordingly.

Some fast action solutions for sudden sellers that don't fit the 70% mold.Thank you for the mention @Jerry W.  

And actual data on due on sale acceleration rates, if any, (though I suspect the industry may be fine holding  performing paper at above market rates and  could hold it patiently until rates rise, and then they are holding below market rate notes, and may suddenly decide it is an issue gunless a state has some waiver case law) essentially making many folks with llc structure left holding callable loans they thought were fixed or locked)..

People on BP already complaining that they are seeing less and less opportunities in their markets (strange that, tell everyone your strategy and your neighborhood targets and it attracts more people - it's a bit like telling people your darkest secrets and suddenly wondering why everyone now knows your darkest secrets).But the real long term money is becoming a realtor, and then maybe a broker if you really hate yourself.For a very simple reason: people in the RE business (not pretend investors) get to know about stuff before it hits mls. 

But the rubber meets the road at the ground level and with the properties in Situ .... you have one bad tenant and it blows all that research right out the window.. no amount of scientific research will keep you from the bad tenant risk.. or all of a sudden the street you bought on turns into rentals and your values drop from A to B.. and of course since your buying these A properties and turning them into rentals your degrading the neighborhood just by that fact..

As if the costs weren't rising fast enough we will be blasted by a surge in the coming months/year.
