Dave Meyer: 我认为目前房地产市场普遍疲软，49/50的大城市房价增长放缓，这既是挑战也是机遇。虽然部分市场出现负增长，但多数市场仍在增长，整体呈现“软化”趋势。我认为这长期来看对我的投资组合和整个房地产市场的健康都是最好的。目前住房负担能力接近40年来的最低点，这对投资者、房主和整体经济都不利。恢复住房负担能力有三种途径：房价增长放缓或下跌、工资增长和抵押贷款利率下降，我认为需要这三种因素共同作用。房价下跌意味着竞争减少，会有更好的交易机会，这是供需关系决定的。如果你拥有房产并且价格下跌，这只是账面损失，因为你没有出售房产，所以没有实际损失。我个人关注的小型多户住宅市场在过去几年里被过度抬高，现在开始走弱，这对我来说是一个以更好的租金与价格比购买，获得更好价值和未来股权增长潜力的机会。因为我看到了更好的交易，所以我开始筹集资金，考虑如何购买更多的小型多户住宅或独栋住宅，也可能购买多户住宅。我可能会出售一套房产来筹集资金，以便购买更多的交易。我想将资金重新配置到价格更低、未来市场好转时更有增长潜力的房产上。
