The other big loser is the investor who thinks they will wait it out thinking there is going to be a  crash of some sort or prices will get better ( this will happen of course to some degree as some sellers panic) but its not going to be a 08 low hanging fruit event if it gets that bad DEBT will dry up and unless your a TRUE cash buyer your not going to get a loan anyway. so in my mind losers right now are Tenants and Investors who get mired in Social Media doom and Gloom as long as debt can still be gotten I I see it every week when our deals pay off and the new rents basically support a decent COC return real estate is the place to be for long term wealth. 

You know you want to be in real estate because it's a smart move, but your time constraints don't allow it.2 low hanging fruits that stick out: 1 - investing in a house hack scenario so you can immediately start building equity instead of renting 2 - investing through real estate funds and syndications.

Enjoy the journey AND the destination.Or worse even expire before they get a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor in a manner they dream of.. 

My goal is a blend of both, although it seems like the property appreciation is the more likely option for me, seeing that my analysis is showing that positive cash flow is not going to be attainable (initially), but that should change as rental prices trend upwards.Do you do a lot of the repairs yourself, or do you hire out the work?

Underground wells and aquifers don’t have state boundaries, so these deep water wells stand to harm communities in neighboring states, along with Mexico, and all so that you can get the same fruits and vegetables year-round in the grocery store.

Fruits and veggies are important.   

I know I can build under $150 a sq ft with garages with my margin, without a garage (this one), that saves $80 per sq ft so I know the blended sq ft I can get lower.

Everyone has a different strategy and that is 100% great, just build good habits form the beginning so you keep transcending into the next level with ease and agility, its about systems, so the better your system, the more successful and fruitful your investment.Happy Investing!

The later choice takes times and rarely bears fruit in our experience. 

All of those things blend together to provide the reasons why, it's not one thing.
