Did you survive the market crash- What do you do differently now?

I want to hear from investors who got their start long before the infamous housing market crash of '07, '08, '09...... 

What one or two things do you do differently NOW because of what you learned THEN? Don't hold back... give all the details! 

If you were a landlord... What was hard about the crash? What would you advise inexperienced investors starting out in a somewhat similar "hot" and potentially over-inflated market for how to safeguard themselves for when times aren't so rosy? 

If you were flipping... did you make it through? Or have to change strategies? What would you advise for individuals just getting in to flipping in order to prepare for the next market correction? 

I think about this constantly... I hope you all have some GREAT answers...! 

@Joshua Dorkin - you talk about this regularly on podcasts.... almost more than I think about it! I'd love to hear your advice as well. :o)
