I think the value will definitely decrease during the next year.

I was noticing that going with a 15 year loan really decreases the amount of properties that I would be able to get as far as a good deal goes.

Decrease closing time from 45 days to 30 days, or is that kind of silly?

The only case study would be Portugal and it saw a either a slight decrease or no change in drug usage.

@Richard Raghoo - to increase cash flow, you only have two options: raise the gross income, or decrease expenses.If you are set on sticking to residential, you will have to find creative ways to decrease expenses.

Keep  buying low, with 25-30% down, leveraged debt to decrease the bottom line taxes too.  

As time goes on, its impact decreases, but needless to say some people got very lucky and their success has a lot to with luck vis-à-vis when they entered the market.

For example, say I were to pay myself a salary of 15k annually for property management, I could contribute this 15k to a solo 401k and decrease my overall taxable income by 15k?

For example, is it more new construction type of properties but which will lend to a renter-filled neighborhood which will decrease exit strategy options later?

We're not having to use those fees right now to be successful.We have however seen very slight decreases in total collections from April to May to June.
