We are probably at or near the top of the cycle in most areas, and when the unexpected happens (vacancy for a longer period or major repairs), you'll feel the pinch.

When we needed money it wasn't available due to low FICO scores from remodeling, DTI and so forth, so when we think of a possible financial pinch coming in advance, and can draw from a HELOC, that helps out a lot.  

I think most old school forms of marketing are feeling the pinch now, with the glut of buyers and lack of inventory. 

I am trying to pinch my pennies on anything that I am doing in mass quantities.  

You never want to put yourself in a pinch on close day.If you're wholesaling correctly, buyers should not care about your fee because they should feel good about getting a solid deal that they put zero effort into finding.

Allows them the flexibility to make tough decisions in a pinch on their behalf.  

Must be careful not to pinch a penny to lose a dollar (in opportunity costs from other deals).But if you're just talking about a retail agent doing a single deal with you, then I agree completely.
