Hope is a Four-Letter Word,
    Not an Investment Strategy

Hope is a dirty word for all San Diego real estate investors . . . and it violates Profit Rule #1 for San Diego real estate.

Not only can hope keep you from selling San Diego real estate at market cycle peaks . . . because you hope prices will go even higher . . . but hope can keep you from buying San Diego real estate at market cycle bottoms . . . because you hope prices will fall even lower.

Either way, "hoping" costs you plenty.

Therefore, whenever a San Diego real estate investor says, "I wish," or "I hope," he is engaging in a destructive way of thinking. Why?  Because it takes attention away from what the investor should be doing . . . which is analyzing the facts. 

The best way to analyze the facts - so you can maximize your returns in San Diego real estate -- is to focus on key market indicators that have a proven track record for accurately predicting real estate trends. For example, if the coming real estate trend is likely to move San Diego real estate prices higher . . . you buy. But If the trend is likely to move San Diego real estate prices lower . . . you sell. 

So here's Profit Rule #1 for San Diego real estate:  Go with the trend.

While this over-simplification ignores the specific circumstances of individual San Diego real estate investors, be certain of this: all the hoping in the world is not going to change the trend of the San Diego real estate market. 

What this means is simply this: how accurately an investor identifies San Diego real estate trends - and changing trends -- will likely turn out to be the single biggest factor for determining how much money is made in San Diego real estate.
