The intent of the law is to address the needs of homeowners by making the taxable value of their homes more predictable.

Some of their decisions (in my humble opinion) defy the law at times but they are fairly predictable from county to county - if you do much business in a particular county.  

The city is growing and the trends seem to be moving in a positive direction but no one can predict the future.

My main goals are around cash-flow, I don't predict the future well so if there is appreciation that will take care of itself. 

Being an agent is the first truly successful position I have been in, both in regard to personal development and financial stability.My primary expectation at this time is to wait on purchasing our first home until our income is more predictable, and I am curious if I would be able to do flips in the meantime to grow our wealth without ever occupying a home.To name some of my strengths would be:1.

We'll have to start keeping track of all of the "certainties" and following up with the posters after their predictions have passed, come to fruition or not.On that note, I can guarantee you certainty on death and taxes!

I just had a client tell me today that he had heard that the next real estate market crash will be worse than the 2008 crash, and asked my advice.I am not a soothsayer, nor can I predict the future, but what I can predict is people.

@Marc WeisiIf you want to be an investor primarily, I would say go the agent broker route.As an agent, you will come into contact with more buyers sellers investors.Networking is the key to investing.You can pick up construction knowledge as you go.Home inspection may lead to greater more predictable income out of the gate, but long term assuming your goal is to scale up investing than in my opinion becoming an agent is the way to go.At the end of the day, it comes down to what you want and where you want to be 5 10 years from now.Nothing against home inspection but that is trading your time for money.Investing is making your money work for you while you sleep.

I still live in Dallas County.Since nobody can predict the future and nobody knows when the seller will be more "friendly)" to buyers.  

What is your advice on selling a property in Orange county now and transfer the money to out of state as far as the prediction and other factors... any advice is appreciated!
