North Texas Homes offers services that can be utilized throughout all phases of the real estate investment cycle.

But in reality, I have been involved in real estate in Spain for over 30 years, during which I have seen various property cycles.

No one has a crystal ball though so you don't really know where you are in the cycle.

I remember while working in enterprise software sales we had sale cycles of 12 months at times & there was no guarantee it will close.

I think the markets that have run up the hardest will fall the farthest during the next down cycle. 

It's market and location specific.And all cycles are different. 

In these markets most commercial brokers do not have time to entertain such things.What you are trying to do in this part of the cycle recovery is very,very hard to do.

(This would require minimums for local municipalities, they are always welcome to specify more restrictive standards)For sure, we seem to have crossed the point where lead paint not being tolerated as an accepted risk to families - The discussion is for Ohio to parallel the Rochester, NY program which required all homes both owner occupied, rentals, and day care facilities be tested on a cycle.

Asset prices and fact that we are likely at or past the apartment cycle's peak in the markets I cover.

RE cycles seem closer to 3/4 to 7/8 years.
