Is resale value on these types of units not predicted to go up in the future?

It might be Apple stock, fine, how well can they predict the future of stock prices and risks?

Of note, this is still 6 months later than many other investment banks have predicted.

Probably will go FHA house hack route because can't predict health of dad and low down payment and getting feet wet. 

He's predicting it will crash, David Greene is predicting it will continue to go up.

I actually like the space currently and have recently invested, but I'm analytical and like to try and predict how things might play out.  

Buying any cash flowing loan, it is always about the predictability, continuity and consistency of future payments.  12 consecutive periodic payments is a contributing factor to a higher valuation, the point is do not assume it is the only factor.  1 year is not really that much time, it's only 12 'things' (payments) which is also not a lot in comparison or 1/30 of the entire plan still to come, 29/30 has some inherent risks still.  

While there may have been some individuals that have accurately predicted the market, I seriously have never meet anyone who's "timed" it correctly.

They don't help with predicting future growth.  

And I do agree the hassles of residential will help you learn the ropes of real estate and I predict will also make you want to do commercial even more!
