Real Estate is always filled with speculators. People thinking they can make a quick buck. Not realizing there are more factors involved. I'm lucky that I've got a long track record for finding properties that grow in value as well as other RE factors. I've never lost on RE. Having family in construction and rehab helps too as well as having architectural skills. I work wood, masonry and many other areas of rehab and aesthetics so putting equity and raising value is fun for me.

That's why there's going to be good pickens soon because so many speculators overinflated things and people overextended themselves.

Choosing the right thing and doing the right thing is where you make money in RE.
