I know these exact sentiments may drive me into an impulsive purchase, so I’m really trying to fight a sense of urgency.

At that point, some will pay up in full (without fees), but many will not have the money that was given via stimulus/unemployment because they spent it.The data from my landlord group showed a 38% delinquency for May, and I believe this is because it is a popular sentiment among renters that an "eviction moratorium" means that rent is no longer due.I personally have not had that problem because I got out in front of this early with a proactive letter, and for the most part my tenants are very ethical.

Hey Nathan,Generally speaking I share your sentiment.

I'm from San Diego as well and the Cali anti-landlord sentiments just tick me off.

I think a lot of other brokers would echo the same sentiment.

to reiterate Account Closed sentiments. 

Now, obviously, he was wrong about the timing, but the sentiment was already forming two years ago that the real estate market no longer offered a buying opportunity.As I have said elsewhere, I do not expect a 2008-style crash.  

I'll echo some of the sentiment here in the replies.

@Jason Yee please read the post above by @Nathan Emmert because I share the same sentiment and points he noted.  

You could get a 3 family in Worcester in 2019 for 385k, and it's now exploded because the sentiment changed.
