Sounds like we have a similar strategy, you're just better or luckier at it. My kid's college savings took a roughly 60% beating after tremendous growth in the tech downturn, but I did a lot better with my mobile 401K funds. Probably didn't time it as well at least in the allocation planning as you though. I have no problem throwing everything in small caps or other risky stock classes after a major downturn, but I've missed out on significant fractions of my total on small cap runups to pull everything out quickly. I usually move out in 10 to 25% portions.
I've considered your style of real estate investment, but didn't because I was in a decidedly cool market that I didn't intend to stay in for long even though spousel considerations tied me there for a long time. My current local is growing rapidly and I am starting to think about buying at least a large country lot nearer my wife's work as opposed to my current measly 1 acre.
