Timing the Market Cycle

The trick to timing the real estate market is really really simple.

I've been hearing a lot of people talk about a pending real estate crash.

Some of these people have been out of the market since 2013 or 14. Imagine if you could buy at 2013 prices right now. Imagine if you could buy a 2006 prices right now

If you bought in 2006 or 7 at the height of the last market and were forced to sell or refinance in 2010 you got screwed but if you had long-term debt, adequate cash flow and a reasonable cash reserve your property is almost certainly worth way more now than it was in 2006.

So the secret to timing the real estate market is buy whenever you buy but only sell when it's high.

It's really that simple.
