I tried investing during the boom here.

Historically, BOOMS can last longer than expected and adjustments-declines can come suddenly and unexpectedly.I've been tracking CA market cycles going back to 1984 to present and the cycles have looked like this: 1984-1990 (+100%)1991-1994 (-11%)1995-2001 (+100%)2001 (-10%)2002-2007 (+59%)2008-2011 (-27%)2012-2017 (+72%) For me, the entry price to play in SOCAL is not in my wheel house at the moment, so much like what @Ali Boone said in her post, I'm investing out of state at this time.

I am a syndicator of both investments in performing notes and investments in commercial properties.I have been investing in real estate and real estate related assets since 1979, so I’ve experienced both booms and busts.The typical syndications I see use about 50% leverage to obtain 7% current cash on cash return, about 1.5 to 2% loan amortization, and rent increases at current cap rates add another 6-9% to projected returns.In other words the future returns are based on the real estate market performing as it has since 2008.Maybe yes, maybe not so much.The change in tax code in 1987 literally wiped out real estate syndications at the time.

The inner city neighborhoods like Corktown and Midtown are booming, but the outer ring city areas are still very very rough (There's your mythical $500 houses).

Most cities are seeing an apartment boom right now.

The author worked in the tax collectors office & watched this process for years.

However, the debt collector still has the old owner's tax ID, not the tax ID of the new holding entity (mine) that holds the property.Should I even be concerned of this debt?

It's in the booming "country" town of Fulshear, TX right outside of Katy.

Since this is not being done there has to be something else behind what is being done, therefore I question his agenda.As far as the first Bush admin starting this cycle of debt, you can view it that way if you choose, but history has showed us that after a war there is always a boom cycle.

How do you spell Economic Boom?
