@Reitta Seidel I would submit that it's always a good time to invest, you just have to figure out what the best options are in the given market.We focus on first time home buyers who are less rate sensitive and are more likely to buy in all markets. 

I just accepted a job as a marketing coordinator for a local RE agency franchise office, at 21yo, a recent college grad.

For stock investments for instance, just invest directly.

I do something like this (just not in any type of mountains lol) for most of my properties.

It looks like a lot, but most of what’s listed was relatively small and cheap.We’ll return to how we responded and why, but for now, I’ll just note that not only did the inspection ensure the buyer wouldn’t be completely blindsided by something like all the floor joists having been torn apart by termites, but what we ended up agreeing to more than paid for the cost of the inspection (usually $300 to $500).

Someone reached out to me who I thought was a buyer, ended up being someone who was just trying to get in the game.

But thats just one idea that pops to mind. 

They aren't just out there, you gotta find them. 

@Jordan StenholmI just read a  book by Ken Honda Called Happy Money, and I interviewed him.

The problem is that we have only just started renovations (just the roof so far) and i'm hesitant to post photos of it while it's looking less than optimal.
