Keep in mind........... Times and markets are changing! In California with average homes selling well over $500,000, a 20% decline is $100,000! In any market 'timing is everything'! So, could you afford a loss of 25% of your investment all because of poor timing??? This last up cycle was 10 years in many parts of the country. The downcycle now started in CA, Wash DC, NYC, Vegas and other hot areas of the past are all soft and getting softer. From 1990 to 1996, the average home in San Diego lost 20% of its' value! The cycle we are now enterng looks like it could well exceed that on the downside! With all the 100% financing, interest only loans, EZ qualifing etc...even a slight decline will cause many to be unable to sell for the amount due on their loans!

Keep in mind………..

Times and markets are changing!

In California with average homes selling well over $500,000, a 20% decline is $100,000! In any market ‘timing is everything’! So, could you afford a loss of 25% of your investment all because of poor timing???

This last up cycle was 10 years in many parts of the country. The downcycle now started in CA, Wash DC, NYC, Vegas and other hot areas of the past are all soft and getting softer.

From 1990 to 1996, the average home in San Diego lost 20% of its’ value! The cycle we are now enterng looks like it could well exceed that on the downside!

With all the 100% financing, interest only loans, EZ qualifing etc…even a slight decline will cause many to be unable to sell for the amount due on their loans!

The trick is to buy when no one wants something and sell it when the people are falling over themselves to buy and bid things up(like real estate, stocks) The masses are still bullish on real estate(where ever it is) so I think prices ultimately drop until folks say"Don't buy real estate, its a bad investment" just an opinion<br><b>References : </b><br> Want to be successful?

It is ideal to buy low and sell high, but this market is difficult to predict. In my area there is very little housing due to Silicon Valley's need for employees from all over the world. How much housing is there in Hawaii? Is it difficult to find? This should help answer your question and determine your turn around time if you are attempting to "flip" a property.<br><b>References : </b><br> The same thing is happing in my area, down the pennisula from SF.
