Thejq, nice SALT reference, I think that is the X factor moving forward. AN and FLU, spot on stuff. The math is not the same, it makes more sense now. It’s not an automatic buy in every town and in every deal but it is in certain instances.
I’ve purchased three primary homes in my time on the planet and timed the market exactly once. I’m not a huge fan of that strategy. When I timed it incorrectly I had to stay a few extra years, when I hit the middle it didn’t matter due to a divorce and when I nailed it I attributed it to this site. But in retrospect, rnting and timing is a fools errand. Just be fundamentally sound and hope to get lucky.
