Investing is about positioning thyself (thy family) to be able to withstand financial inflections of life with least possible effort.  

I think it's already been said but the legal fees are likely the inflection point here, but if it allows you to "get started", then big picture wise I'd say go for it. 

Because they have branding and name recognition and your blinded by dollar signs and influenced by the light shows, music, and voice inflections.

Welcome to BP and real estate investing @Bryan NunesYou "Bay Area Newbies" are just coming out of the woodwork lately..........somebody should quantify this as it would be a great indicator of market inflection points as sure as home affordability or new construction starts.Be that as it may, life is short my friend.  

This point in the market, we have likely seen an inflection point and we will be seeing the down cycles shortly.

If I were to speak what I type, the inflection of my voice, speaking style, tone and maybe a humorous expressions would give the typed word a completely different meaning and message to you.

Im always surprised at the negative comments when someone talks about the real estate cycle, especially when history tells us it is somewhat predictable.Can someone predict the exact inflection point?

@Ndy Onyido frankly I expected quite a few more posts with your point of view.One thing that gets lost in all of this is the personal interaction.. the inflections the enthusiasm that comes with belly to belly and or at least over the phone..I have to hand it to anyone who could learn this business by just reading on the internet I know I could NOT .. 

Being super, super polite and maintaining a level tone of voice and normal inflection when you talk to them will convey that you are a reasonable person.

Investors and pundits seem to have forgotten that we were promised 2014 would be the end of the crisis.Instead, we are speeding towards the inflection point at which debt becomes harder to service because pretend-and-extend policy making has created a depression in investment and consumption.The public debt loads continue to inflate across Europe: Portugal’s public debt has ramped up to a staggering 130% of GDP, up from about 70% in 2007.
