Downturn Scares? Preparation?
So theres a ton of talk about being over leveraged, a downturn or correction is coming, etc etc.
Well, I'm pretty leveraged. It was the only way to succeed without a 350k/year 9-5. brrr over and over.
So correct me if I'm wrong but what does anyone have to be scared of if the following conditions apply in a meltdown
1. youre locked into a 30 year conventional or 7 year commercial loan and the banks cannot re-appraise or call in full your loan as long as mortgages are being paid per the closing docs
2. your rents can take 25-35% cut and still break even on all mortages, taxes, and insurance
3. you live in a populated and buzzing area where demand has always been heavy and unless a bomb dropped on it (yay insurance) you shouldn't have trouble finding renters
4. downturn --> people lose jobs and homes or try to downsize and turn to renting (good thing).
5. have solid tenants that have older co-signers (parents, guardians)
Am I missing something that the banks can still do to me even if I'm paying my debts on time?

Stock up on McRibs while you can. The end is nigh. I've seen it in the coffee grounds.
