I have a sign above my desk that says, "Opportunities exist in all market cycles."

I agree with @Justin G. you can always do a deal and make money, regardless of where we are in the market cycle.

If you are buying and holding it isn’t the worst thing in the world to hang onto and wait until the next cycle of refis come but also the deal should always make sense!

It is 100% dependent on the timeline, your place in the current investment cycle, and your exit strategy.

Some just take fees and become glorified property managers as an asset manager living off the fees.You have to ask a syndicator if they are puffing what they did in the past on a different cycle timewise?

The east end is a bit tough with competition and hiked prices, but there are still plenty of areas around the city that are probably earlier on in the gentrification cycle.
