Lo and behold real estate investing and landlording has peaked my interest rather than working 2 jobs! 

The Coaching sessions had him take over $100k out on Credit Cards to purchase a property in Las Vegas, pre-Financial Crisis.He wound up buying a SFH and rented it out, but after the crash, Vegas property values plummeted  by about 70% of it's pre-Crisis Peak.

If your condo value is still so low relative to the last peak I think I can guess which one it is, and it might have something to do with litigation and perhaps the condo not being warrantable.

Remember in the typical 7 to 10 year peak to trough cycle that weak suburban to rural is last to recover but first to fall in a down turn.

My initial confusion was that IRR looks for what year(s) your returns peak and what the return will be in those year(s) so that’s when you should exit.

A lot of tenants are looking for leases to start/end then, but I have found that its possible to lease between then but those are the peak months here.

At the peak of the market here in CA there was no reason to be buying property, so I was looking for an area that didn't have a bubble, but had excellent cash flow.

I would suggest attending a few of each and find out which ones peak your interest.Good luck to you and I hope to see you at a meet and greet somewhere!

That's easy to tell from their pricing when they initially put something on the market.On the other hand, they have tightened up credit to the point where owner occupants are few and far between.Now they, and Freddy Mac, are eliminating the pool of investors by reducing their max loans from 10 to 4.My prediction: if you're over 50 now, you will never again in your lifetime see the home prices where they were at the peak.
