Hey Scott Bartlet that's great news about your local investment club!

See article in Tampa bay times http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/realestate/blackstone-other-investors-snap-up-thousands-of-tampa-bay-rental-homes/2110744 would assume this isn't only area this is happening

Here is the latest for example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/03/21/feb-existing-home-sales/2004761/orhttp://www.thenichereport.com/breaking-news-2/finally-more-homes-for-sale/All of them say that "professionals expects home values to end 2013 up an average of 4.6 percent and rise cumulatively by 22 percent, on average, over the next five years" and that "the supply of homes for sale is beginning to rise"My question is how can it all influence REI and how in general should everybody analyze when to buy and when to wait.And i would also love to hear your predictions.Thanks in advance for your reply!

The good news is I have alot more time to devote to real estate investing, the bad news is I have 1/2 the money as when I was married.

The good news is you won't make that mistake again.

This was news to me and my contractor as well.

Also, for anyone else that is keeping any eye on this thread, I may have some interesting news tomorrow about the rents in that subdivision.

Nobody wants to be the next big headline in bad mortgage news, so the process is slow.
