Strong cashflows, great appreciation values.

@Jimmy Johnson I would strongly advise you to throw out CAP rate, and compare these in a STR-specific spreadsheet to help show cash-on-cash return. 

Not so much wetland delineation (need really strong plant ID, soil science, and ecology knowledge) and wetland/waters permitting unless they specifically stumbled into/specialized in that field.

He gave the same value to my property as one that was half the size, used comps over a mile away, and used low rental comps from a far distance despite me owning a fully-rented property one street over that wasn't used in his analysis.I have such a strong dislike for appraisers these days, I've considered going full 'Dexter' and ridding the world of them one at a time lol.In all seriousness though, adding the rehab credit to the settlement statement is something I'll try out on my next property.

And, as they say: people always need a place to live.ConclusionI don't know what the future holds, but I hope I've at least convinced you there is a strong case to be made that now is as good a time as any to be buying (the right) real estate.If you agree and you want to get into real estate but don't know where to start, you're not alone.
