This thread is insteresting to me. I sold a small apartment building the end of June. Since I will be retiring next year, I cashed out and will pay the capital gains. I want to build on bare land I own in east San Diego County. I'm waiting (hoping) for the housing market (especially new construction) to slow. Right now it's keeping the construction industry busy. In addition the reconstruction from the fire destruction last year has added on to that. The prices of labor and materials have gone up a bunch. I guess I will try to wait it out for a while. The quicker things in the housing and construction industries slow down, the better for me at this point.
