Coincidentally, I just saw this news story:http://www.centralvalleybusinesstimes.com/stories/001/?

Life will deliver good news and bad news, it's just life.

Hey everyone - today on the BiggerPockets News page there is an article about what 2013 will look like for real estate, according to mortgage giant FreddieMac.

Hoping to hear positive news today.Thanks for the responses

There are a few about real estate, but the one of interest is this one: http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2012/2012-170.htm, which reads[i]Washington, D.C., Aug. 29, 2012 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today proposed rules to eliminate the prohibition against general solicitation and general advertising in certain securities offerings.

I have heard lots of positive feedback from the news and other media sources.

Great news having a property double in value in 7 years and retaining the same tenants!

Corey I don't know why going up 20% is news for anyone.If you look at the United States as a whole there are speculation states.Cali, New York, etc. where they are the first to inflate and the first to deflate in a cycle.
