According to the current Shiller PE Ratio (aka Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio, aka CAPE Ratio), of 30 we are at a height only matched by Black Friday and exceeded by Dot Bomb (ref http://www.multpl.com/shiller-pe/).

I'm trying to be a long-term B&H investor and buy where it makes sense.Nowhere else in the world is the local housing market tied to the fortunes of tech companies -- many of which are the object of a speculative mania, with PE's of 1000 or more -- as is the SF Bay Area. 

Don Roenker was the PE I was eventually directed to.  

Even now, most syndicators/PE groups are relying on rudimentary data sources/data sets to draw conclusions.

I recently obtained my PE (Professional Engineering) license and I was wondering if there are any PE's out there who were able to leverage their license for real estate investing.I would love to hear any thoughts on this.

Roger Steciak I came across a story a yr or so ago where an investor walked into a PE firm (ya know- the people who actually have the money!)

I mainly was needing help deciding on whether to start a fund or raise equity on a deal by deal basis and where to start raising funds (HNW individuals, RIA/placement agent, Family offices, PE, Institutions) Below are my summary notes.

I suspect the market to take a turn during the next reelection (Ray Dalio and alot of PE firms suspect the same if not sooner) and plan to purchase alot of properties and lots subject-to on the coast.

The rule is a great rule of thumb, but I think its more analogous to a PE ratio in the stock market.If the market is moving up, and everyone knows its a growth market think Austin, or San Fran, the PE ratio for a growth stock will be high for a stock say a PE of 50, or the %rule will be really "low", say .5%.
