This partitioning of the property and doing a simultaneous closing completely changed the trajectory of the deal.

I started with Ken McElroy's books, because 1) clearly he knows what he is talking about given his track record and trajectory and 2) because I had easy access to them. 

If so, you know how the neighborhoods break and that the appreciation trajectory can be diametrically opposed within a block.

You are on a great trajectory and learning curve because you are learning from your mistakes and also preparing to move slowly instead of scaling before you are ready.

What trends and indicators do you look at to keep your thumb on the pulse of market health and trajectory? 

I also recommend reading Scott Trench's Set For Life as that book changed the trajectory of my life.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

I don't believe we'll continue to see that trajectory moving forward over the next 4 (you never know though!)... 

If winds are 100 mph then you lose air support while embers gain massive trajectory.

I like the strong infrastructure investment and overall job growth trajectory in these parts of Williamson County.We're also seeing similar job and infrastructure growth between Austin and Bastrop mainly thanks to Elon Musk's investments in the area.
