So they're some speculation out there regarding holding off on investments until the outcome of the upcoming elections.

They don't give two hoots about the profit of one speculative RE investor.

When you flip houses you are actually buying the property on speculation that you will be able to sell it for a premium once you rehab it.

The SBA will not loan on real estate speculation so the park must be for overnight camping only or at least a large percentage of the income must come from nightly rentals.

There is speculation the gov't may try something to boost homes sales.

Isn't this sort of speculation what got us into the current mess in the first place?
