It is not as cut-and-dry as you make it to move on from something that has such great value to an individual or family.

I have to trust that they will cover (fingers crossed) and not cancel my policy after, we will only know after.

Competition is drying up, rents are higher than ever, and the house-hacker is likely to have a meaningful edge, once again, over traditional landlords with great owner-occupied financing rates. 

What is going to happen to all the houses when the oil and gas dry up?

Also some of my PMs are claiming the low end cheap inventory for sale is drying up. 2015 also coincides with the fact that Millenias are "coming to age" to move from negative equity in positive hence will look to buy.

Ive been in similar spot with leaky basement but was able to dry it out with proper gutter and downspout installation as well as grading/landscaping.

As prices started to rise (2013-today), I deleveraged as I did not see as many buying opportunities and wanted to be safer and have some "dry powder" ready if and when the market turned again.

Crossing my fingers we don’t hit any major snags.

@Mike DymskiWhere are you getting your deal flows when the river is dried up?

You always complain about Guru's, but have you ever lifted a finger to do anything about it.
