foreclosures are like stock trends. if your thinking it... everybody is. facts!!

And look to see how the values of neighboring properties are trending...up or down.Andy

I’m starting wholesaler in San Diego and I’m trying to figure out the market trends in San Diego how would go about doing that?

Values have, and will swing pretty far, but the current trend is going a bit beyond what I expected we would see in this decade. 

You will be able to see the hottest properties as soon as they hit the market and not have to wait for a Realtor to be available to schedule a showing.

Let them know that due to current market trends, their rent will go up to market rate as soon as their lease renews or when you can legally do so.

@Todd Powell I agree, it is hard to know 100%, BUT, look that the trend over the past 5 years and where we are historical, I do not think they start going down, and rates are driven by inflation and Fed policy not by what's going on in the real estate market. 

There are a lot of flashy, trending, VC-funded startups doing the same thing.

My point was simply, I can't get too excited about one more year of increase (albeit in my favor) when the long-term trends are decelerating.

Personally, I think Kansas City and Indianapolis are two of the best cash flow markets In addition to affordable prices and good rent to price ratio's, they both have strong economic and demographic trends and have favorable landlord/tenant laws, I've been active in both markets since 2010 and would be happy to help if I can.
