Hi everyone, I need your help.

agree with the other comment, different markets are doing different things. also, "be greedy when others are fearful." what people might be afraid of is, lots of commercial ARMs coming up on their rate adjustments, & the new rates (compared to 5y ago when they first purchased) will kill their cashflow, so they'll sell, and if everyone is doing this at once, supply might outweigh demand, everyone has to sell for less than they planned, and everyone who hangs on to their similar properties gets to recalculate their estimated mkt value with the new going cap rates. i don't personally think this is going to cause as insane of a shift as some people do, but it's all speculative, we won't know til it happens. if you can find a deal that pencils with 30y fixed debt, do it. 

I make more than enough to buy a nice home and everyone I know owns a home and wonders why I don't.

That is why I consistently point it out.If everyone keeps calling it a loophole over and over, some eager beaver down at the IRS might decide to take a look at the law and recommend changes and do away with this.

Hello everyone,I'm currently exploring the housing market in search of my first personal home, which I intend to rent out in the near future after putting in some sweat equity.

I'm a golf professional working near San Jose, CA. I'm wanting to invest in real estate outside of CA (obviously) and am learning as much as I can. I want to invest in Arizona (Phoenix or Tucson). Would love to do SFH...
