I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

I've added a few things for very minimal cost that guests really love and increased revenue ~34% year over year.

In Portland for example we are not allowed to increase rent more than once in 12 months, and it must be less than 10% increase in "effective rent".

So if prop 33 passes it will be possible to cap rent increases from one tenant to the next.A recipe for blight.  

The BEST method for real estate investing is very simple: increase earnings, reduce expenditures, save, and invest from your own funds.You should focus on increasing earnings and learning how to manage your budget.

I'm not sure by how much your rates are increasing but I have friends in NOLA who have seen a 2x increase per year.

Over time, rents may increase, improving your cash flow, and you’ll gain equity and valuable experience managing tenants and property operations.

This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.

They have increased in value, and our rents have increased by more than 45% overall.
