The goal is to be close enough with a calculator to make an informed decision, based on your risk tolerance and capital reserves (Cash in the bank for variances in the bills or emergencies).Regarding my comment on off-market properties - I'm referring to the buyer who wants to find a "deal" through a wholesaler, but does not think to use a real estate agent/broker, and is either using cash or owner-financing.

BUT - if Susie maintains liquidity in the form of emergency reserve cash, untapped credit revolvers (through HELOCs taken out at the $500,000 notional value of the property, before the change in prices), or some other way of paying for the new roof or the uh-oh without additional or new financing, then she won't have to worry about property prices until she sells, which in the land of Warren Buffett is never.
