Lake Arrowhead, Twin Peaks, Running Springs, Skyforest, Crestline, any of these areas work...Thank you! 

I'm learning you can go at any speed you want.We have bought 3 of our properties in the last year and are working on a few more deals.I have a team in Arlington, TX (Dallas/Ft.

I think people either really believe in significant further AA appreciation (I do) or they're just looking for a safe place to park cash with the markets seeming to peak.

All those people would have sold their Palo Alto homes in the 1980's thinking prices have peaked. 

The issue I ran into on my last purchase was they wouldn't consider the income of my already-operating STR when figuring my DTI, and if I'm already running into that, I'm worried about how I'll expand with any speed.

So in a downed market, yes absolutely appreciation can be great and Florida is likely to experience more than a lot, but we are in a peak market right now.

Hi Joshua, One of the best things to do when dealing with an auction property is to attend a few (not just one) auctions so that you become familiar with the process and the speed at which they operate.  

Hi Dorothy, I was just asking in advance of doing this, I thought it might help speed things up.

If it is for income there is no bad time one can purchase at peak $ you wait for the next peak so long cash flow is OK.

I really value speed, creativity, pleasantness.
