While all this is interesting, it really has no baring on the current situation. 

Contractors took one of the biggest hits of any profession during the last crash and the ones that survived have barely made it so.

It seems like 2006 again- many investors are willing to hold onto properties that just barely cash flow or don’t at all with the expectation of continued high appreciation.It doesn’t mean the deals aren’t out there- it just means you may have to change your criteria. 

You can barely walk in the bedroom because there is so much stuff everywhere.
