What are your thoughts on bigger, brand name movers coming in to an already active market?

Now that he is in-school and has basic arithmetic skills, he periodically checks how much more he needs to make a down-payment on his first {rental} house  {being a minor, he cannot borrow on his own and definitely is not eligible for a high-ratio, insured mortgage, so he will need a 20% down-payment and the bank of Mom & Dad if he still wants to purchase a house when he has the funds}.We also use routine activities such as grocery shopping or fuelling the car/truck to discuss budgeting and how much it costs to run a household - at an age appropriate level.

My guess is that the next year will see a lot of producers exiting the business and some consolidation (m&a) activity. 

@Aziz Raji Looking forward to being a more active BiggerPockets addition.

,Thank you Sir, did you wait to retire to pursue your investment interests or did you flip/keep/ get your license while active?

@John Lee interesting question and as an active duty Marine officer I have some insight into this situation.

@Vincent GarmanHi Vincent, are you still active in investment properties in and around Dover?

@Craig Oram: Hi Craig, it's been a very active market but getting your hands on MF, etc is incredibly competitive and there aren't a ton just hanging around.

It might be time to phase into a different strategy or a different activity within your strategy.Let's say for example in 2008 - 2012-ish it was all about wholesaling, flipping, seller financing SFH.

You won’t be able to find much online in reference to foreclosure activity.
