I don't like the stock market, and want part of my money in real estate.  

And I was curious as to how he could predict that before purchasing.

Should I stock-pile my cash and wait, or get the ball rolling on my real estate empire and start investing asap ?

I should have been more clear that when I said "pay myself" I really meant re-invest into something else (stocks, Fundrise, etc.).

The new home stock in Philly isn’t keeping up with national trends in design or function so I thought it would be an easy win.

Unfortunately there is no way to predict how they will react towards anything you propose, including cash for keys.
