Many have expressed that fear is their top barrier to getting active with real estate investing. Part of dealing with fear is understanding the risks and how to mitigate them. Roger breaks down the major risk factors in residential investing and shows you how to deal with those factors. We all need to learn to face our fears and conquer them through action, but this task is made easier when we have engaged in thorough risk mitigation. Below are the news and email items we dealt with on the show.

Today we look at several stories that look into 2018 and attempt to predict what the year will be like. Regular listeners to the show will recall that we have predicted that we are not heading for a crash, but a minor correction. For most markets this will be seen as a slowing in the rate of increase of prices. In some coastal regions we are forecasting a slight drop in prices over the next twelve months. Of the larger markets, Atlanta seems to have the most room to continue with rising prices over the next year, but we believe all the markets will be moving toward a more balanced inventory as new construction starts continue to increase and interest rates inch up. By late 2018 or early 2019 we believe the market will once again be balanced.
