A lot will do well, a lot will do poorly and quit before it normalizes again.

I am normally a year guy but very strong arguments for reasons to chose month to month today.  

In the case of a house in a flood zone, they will require a flood policy be purchased.The normal policy for a 1-4 family rental is a Dwelling Fire Policy (sometimes called a Landlord or other name by the company). 

Part of me wants to just sit on the cash until the market cools a bit (not waiting for the next 08, just drop back to a more normal market).

That's "normal". 

When I do my projects I normally do foundation up new construction (to avoid having to give buyers the NJ required 10 year warranty).

@Dale Snider - this sounds like a gamble to me.  

Obviously in normal circumstances that would take him far (and is starting to pay off for him right now while things are a bit more open), but in the reality of last year it was super difficult.

The school year has started which in a normal year marks the beginnings of our seasonal slow down.

Is that normal, or am I not finding the right agent for my purchase.Granted I'm looking for a 200k-ish condo (instead of a 500k-600k MF), so the commissions are lower, but I still think they should be qualifying what they send me somewhat.What are your thoughts!?
