Just like with the stock market, it will not seem like a great time to buy… (when things are likely crashing for one reason or another).  

My HOA also charges a fee per stay but they charge the guest directly upon arrival as a registration where they also get a parking pass (I recently posted this in another thread).  

Keep in mind, you'll only get out of it what you put into it:)Cashflow will be tough to find in the most popular markets:( You may end up looking in the Midwest.Here's an overview of why:___________________________________________________________________The Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010 caused real estate prices to crash across the country - but didn't affect rent amounts.

I have some money with Arrived and Ground floor, but not much.

Home Price Crash!

Credit History Early Open a U.S. credit card or secured card as soon as you arrive.

Waiting for rates to drop means you'll be paying more in the future.The only way (that I see) prices dropping considerably is in a bigger economic crash that decimates demand across the Portland area.

If the numbers make sense now (e.g. monthly payments, rental income if applicable), that’s more important than trying to predict a crash that may or may not come.Good luck!

sespically like if you wanted to rent for 2 to 4 weeks like I want to do in prime fishing time.. used to be able to do that in Palm Springs I rented a house for there for 4 months I think it was 12k.. that was 2008 before the crash :)  That's a good point and brilliant idea Jay. 

You're arriving with capital, experience, and drive, which puts you ahead of most.
