I was just hoping it would have worked full-time jumping in, so that all focus was on real estate, especially if I needed to go check out a house on the drop of a dime.

If/when the market drops I wonder how easy it will be to finance properties or will the banks shy away like they did last time.

They initially put it out as a FSBO at $230, 000 Mar 8, and by Mar 29 had dropped the price twice to end up at 184, 900. 

Seriously. 8 months later it still was empty, they continuously wanted me to drop the price even though I was already cheaper that others in the area.

Water systems require backflow on commercial & multifamily because there's greater chance for someone to create the conditions that might allow a backflow scenario to exist, i.e. a hose sitting in cleaning solution, or a chemical mixer attachment on a hose, wherein a drop in pressure on the city main could cause those materials to be drawn into the distribution system.

At that point your expenses will likely drop considerably and your primary residence may be close to being paid off.

They will be in trouble when economy goes down and they do not have investments for cash flow if transaction volume drops for them.

Recently a few buyers have said to me "For every 1% the interest rates raise, property values drop 10%"I do believe that raised interest rates correlate to price drops and a buyers market.

I purchased my first duplex 7 months ago, and am close to purchasing my second.This property was originally listed @ $46,000, then dropped to $35,000 and more recently dropped to $29,900.
