It’s very hard to predict.

This is such a strange time, and I don't think anybody predicted the real estate market to boom so quickly! 

Overall I think this will have a much larger economical impact than anyone can predict.

I personally don't agree with many of Mr Campbell's macro economic predictions (he sells newsletters) but his book gives you the basics to understand your market.

If my prediction comes true, I am prepared.

I don't have a crystal ball and can't predict markets; so, I try to purchase investments that perform similarly in up or down markets (and allow forced appreciation).  

I can not predict the market, only change my strategy and react.Originally posted by @David Latimor:Greetings Forum members,This is my first post but I've been reading biggerpockets for years now and have enjoyed the insight of many members who have contributed.

First ask the seller to carry-back about 10-15% and then keep some cash for reserves - There *likely* will be an issue after you close that will be more expensive than you predict.

I definitely predict a big uptick in lawsuits related to creatively financed deals gone bad in the near future.
