My assistant and I spent most of the day working on excel and crunching data sets to see if we can get a handle on this “flash bubble” which in some cases properties doubled in get this; 6 weeks last spring. After all, I am buying two homes and a rental myself right now, one of them a new home in Reno so I have to know these numbers well. As you may recall, I started warning people in 2004 to cool it: …Read more » » »
Here is a copy of my take on the Reno Real Estate market, Reno Homes for Sale, this is a letter that I sent to my Reno Real Estate Investor’s:
