Lots of defaults all over the place...my overall returns dropped to 0.04%...I had about $2k at my peak before I started unwinding my account by selling off as many notes as I could in the secondary market.

Our market has gone down 10% from the peak and we are seeing more cashflow opportunities or seller financing options that produce positive cashflow.

Plants don't like bleach, and wetting them with plain water first protects them.To keep the algae from coming back, insert 6-inch-wide strips of zinc or copper under the row of shingling closest to the roof peak, leaving an inch or two of the lower edge exposed to the weather.

@Meagan Yednock @Anthony ColeSTR permitting will vary depending on whether the property lies within town or county jurisdiction.All of Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, Flamingo Heights, and Johnson Valley are under county jurisdiction and depending on where in Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms the property is, it will fall under county or town jurisdiction.Parts of the permitting process are more strict with the county and some parts are more strict with the towns.There is a big push for development in Twentynine Palms so the desirability will increase with development but in general Joshua Tree is the prime location.It is highly probably that STRs will never go away in the high desert because there just isn’t enough lodging to support the number of visitors during festival and peak season.

Are you saying to condo covert, sell at an assumed market peak now, and then buy the same condos back for cheaper after an assumed market correction?

I was just down in Etown this weekend, and drove around the area just north of the tracks and east of the courthouse and saw some rehabing going on that peaked my interest.

It's tough to time a bottom but we're clearly not at a peak, and buyers have a good amount of inventory to choose from with historically low interest rates.

If you are interested and serious about doing business with me, please contact me by e-mail and I will send you an interview questionare.

We are at the peak. 

I know this is probably elementary, but I would like to know how one should react to both the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles, using both a 1031 exchange and a conventional buy/sell as an example.
