Re: You have $400k in cash, buy House with it or rent & invest

slightly off topic...
Would it not seem that buying once the bottom is reached is not the optimal time to buy b/c everyone is going to be buying and then you find yourself in a seller's market?

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying, would you rather be trying to sell in a buyer's market?
Ideally you want to buy in a buyer's market and then sell in a seller's market, which would be easiest to do right when the market is turning. However, another ideal situation (and possibly better situation depending how fast the market turns) is buying when a seller's market is heating up. You buy in a seller's market and sell in a much stronger seller's market.
Whatever the case you just want houses to be in higher demand when you sell compared to when you bought.
