Thanks for sharing so candidly @Cal C..  I lucked out by getting into real estate investing after the crash when things were priced low. I'm even more lucky/blessed to be here on BP and learning from people's misfortunes, experience, and wisdom to guide my investing strategy :)

I don't bet on appreciation and do most of my pre-purchase analysis for potential deals based on cash flow. One thing I have NOT (and should) been considering is how things will play out if market rents drop. What are some factors that you believe cause market rents to drop? How do you go about considering this when evaluating deals you're looking at for buy & hold?

I don't really have data on how much they've fluctuated and why in certain areas. Just curious how you operate after what you've experienced. Thanks!

Big welcome to the site @Ian Frazier , thanks for introducing yourself to everyone! That's definitely possible. I actually do most of my investing long distance and very rarely see people face to face. In fact, I do so much of my investing online and over the phone, that I do get a bit of anxiety when I do go to meetups or go out for coffee to talk shop. There is hope!

Big welcome to the site @Emiliano Gonzalez , thanks for introducing yourself to everyone! Wholesaling is a great way to get started, but from what I've heard, it's very tough! Keep educating yourself and hustling and things will happen. My advice would be to focus on getting great deals. Real deals attract real buyers.
