Hi Davian,From what you are saying the area seems like it might be almost ready to peak out.And when that happens stuff tends to sit on the market for a long time and prices tend to go down.Those who get caught holding at the peak end up losing....When will it peak?

You should also be aware that two years is about the peak time for foreclosures. 

One week in peak season and then over the holidays.

My curiosity is peaked when you indicate Bad Dude moved in, indicating she had 5 dependents on her original lease. 

Bye-bye-bnb-bye-bye! 

They will go on and on and then talk about something with the property they hate.This is information you use later in negotiations.If you can't get them down on price too much say you want to pay 100 but they will go down to 140 then after that avenue has peaked hit them up on the owner financed interest rate.

One of the things that peaks my interest is Owner Financing.  

So take a peak at the property's chain of title either on-line, at the court house or order a report.  

I'm also a little worried that I'd be moving there in 2017 and the RE market could be peaking (just based on the natural boom/bust cycle I've seen historically). 

I asked her if I could check back in by e-mail in a month.
