Yes lots depends on mortgage financing. I fear the easy financing route is building momentum yet again. To much cash looking to be placed for yield plus our politicians never learn. Look at auto financing and how it loosened again a couple years ago.. Looking at the RE cycle usually lasts an average 18 years while economic cycles are around 7 with the longest in modern times 9 years.. ZIRP to infinity probably changing the cycles somewhat probably prolonging recoveries and shortening the RE cycle with deeper peaks and valleys as a result all IMHO.

Of course the local market and expertise in your craft is of paramount importance. I have built up a lot of equity almost debt free but the tenant pool has really gone down hill from say just 15 years ago. Have more than enough rentals looking at mostly flips going forward the next 3 years. Looking at Gen Y being most of the labor force is not too encouraging for me longer term either..
