I’m throwing down the white flag here. RE prices are going higher. I can’t float with good cash flow at this point. Sucks that I didn’t buy more. Also, equity markets are going to float higher…Sucks to be in cash 40% too instead of previous 90%…
My last option is to buy a new primary..Which I will have to wait. Higher end homes haven’t gone *that* much higher, but at the same time neither has my budget.
No point wasting my time thinking RE prices are going to fall or correct in a meaningful way. Gotta think of other areas/ways to generate income.
Sometimes the biggest hazard to one’s wealth is one’s own pessimism….so I’ve learned.

But you did buy a rental, and you have a primary with a very low mortgage rate. Sounds like you win.
Don’t worry about the opportunities you didn’t catch. Hindsight is always 20/20. There will be plenty more in the future. In the meantime, keep your powder dry.
