This type of real estate investment is one of the most common forms of real estate investing in the US and has historically never been regulated by the SEC.The only laws and regulations that apply to these types of transactions are local city laws regarding the underlying property, anti-money laundering laws for general real estate transactions, and tax laws around real estate properties and income.

As I said earlier it is my belief that a lot of the metro area needs to have a correction, however once prices correct you can usually historically count on 5-7% price increases a year historically. 

High interest rates are even less likely following this crisis in my opinion as all 3 levels of government in many areas would be squeezed into failure if rates even go back to a historical “normal”.

We are told as consumers that our house is a great investment because it historically increases in value but they forget the 12%-15% in fees that you need to pay during a normal purchase and sale process (agent fees on the buy and sell, county fees, attorneys, lenders, title etc.).

Emails historically have some of the lowest conversion, but it's practically free compared to other marketing channels like direct mail, SEO, social ads, etc.It can be powerful in tandem with those other channels i just listed. 

A lot of folks are taking advantage of the recent historic appreciation levels, cashing out, and rolling into new investments.   

There has historically been a large emphasis on "doing deals" and the person who does the most deals is generally seen as the most successful.

When you make decisions to invest based on sound facts analyzed by your own reliable methods, that's taking a calculated risk.I have a mortgage on my home because the borrowed money is super cheap as measured by historical borrowing costs.

Interestingly enough I have a rehab- My latest rehab is a house built in 1912 in a historic neighborhood.

Graphs for housing prices vs inflation and historic price increases are readily available for calculating house values, but I rarely see information like this for rent prices.Exactly how do you go about trying to predict rent changes?
