sure will, just so you know i flipped a few sfh in florida ( palm beach county) from 2005 to 2007 and got out before the crunch of 2008. for example i got a sfh for 475k sold for 599k 1 year later i unloaded all of them about 6 months before the crash. had a home in nj paid 196k & sold for 530k. the moral of the story is i am used to the ups & downs of any market. i am also a stock market junkie also. the homes that were sold in 2005 at the breakout of the market are at or above the high back then.
