If you are willing to commit to a property for 10 to 20 years, you will definitely make money but no one has a crystal ball for lesser time periods.My wife was in the NAVY and we went to San Diego for four years.  

One thing is certain for sure, is that lenders may be required to increase their reserves, which may also reduce their capacity to lend.So, 50-year mortgages would be an interesting development in the real estate sector but there are pros and cons, some of which are beyond the current crystal ball technology. 

I may definitely be taking you up on that offer within the next few months as my wife and I get the ball rolling!

I guess I gotta get on the ball for that....

Avoid this situation if you can at all costs.No one has a crystal ball. 

I don’t have a crystal ball, but my guess is flat prices for 2 years and then summer of 28 inflation spike before trump runs a fourth time. :)I think you are right about "crash" being associated with prices.

Magic 8 Ball says: No.

My partners and I put our second flip in Chattanooga on the market this year for 220K and didn't even get a low ball offer on the home. 

By definition all 44 contractor classifications have passed the state exam and adhere to the laws of the CSLB & Consumer affairs.Any handyman performing work over $1000 is in violation of Business & Professions code 7028.1Any handyman performing work over $1k is subject to forfeiture of the entire sum of "contracted" work B&P code 7031(b)All California home improvement contracts must be a quoted upfront price including labor, materials, warranty etc.

The worst thing is to not get offers first week and then you only get low ball junkier offers with a listing that ends up selling at a net lower price to seller then if was priced correctly initially.
