Hi, BP!

I'm getting into a career as a realtor, and was wondering, does the real estate market crashing effect those who flip for a living?

I'd assume business is better during a down market, because many people are forced to sell their homes at a cheaper price.

The only investor I can imagine being effected are the ones that rely on bank loans for their flips, because banks don't trust too many real estate investors in a down market.
