I agree with the general sentiment - it's a block by block game, and patience is the key.

s general sentiment that SF and Seattle are probably near the end of their appreciation boomAnd fundamentally this is my main point :) The area I'm going for may be a nice mix of both IMO, but probably not EXTREME cash flow or EXTREME appreciation.

Commercial deals have slowed up as the general sentiment there is "wait and see".

@Rob Bianco: I understand the sentiment but I’d you have any sort of respiratory issue, are a smoker or vape you stand the risk of being very severely affected by this disease.

And I'm always amazed that there is this sentiment on BP that if a recession comes it will not negatively affect us--only "them".

You don't change the sentiment of a multi-decade track record of decline and deterioration overnight.
