Hi All,I'm wondering if anyone out there has seen an inverse trend between any two types of real estate?

I liked that book and idea, but, of course, what do you do in the mean time (for ten years, etc if you are cash flow negative, especially starting out....) while you hold... that is always my question....And, I think, the key for Schumacher (and maybe your grandfather) was being on the right demographic trends and in the right real estate market, such as when Schumacher (as savvy appraiser and investor) saw the post WWII boom in California, especially SoCal and along coastal California.

The trended data thing, like many things in life, isn't nearly as big of a deal as it's being made out to be in some circles.

That said, without knowing anything, I'd say, be sure you understand true vacancy rate, local crime trends, and deferred maintenance.

You also have other factors, such as lending terms. emotions, deflation, inflation and market trends.

The trend might reverse somewhat toward the end of the year.  

If you are shopping right now, I would give it at least six months to see where the trends go.
