Recession Biggest Opportunities
Hi All-
I am sure others are feeling a shifting in the tide as things continue to be overpriced, increasing interest rates, and return metrics continually become more difficult to hit. I was hoping to get some discussion here on the biggest opportunities in Real Estate, specifically mutli-family investing during recessions and financial downturns.
If you could go back to 2008-2010 what were the biggest opportunities for Real Estate investors and how could you have taken advantage?
If another downturn was going to take place what type of deals would you look for and how would you best prepare to take advantage of a real estate market that is crahsing?
Looking forward to all responses.
Cheers,
ZF

If you are waiting for the type of downturn we had a decade ago, the next one will likely happen after you are dead. That was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. The last one before that was the great depression.
