RE Market Crash - Investment/Trading Q’s

[Devante S.]

Hello, I am a young real estate agent from the Midwest. I’m my opinion, I foresee some huge shifts in the nation wide real estate market (and not for the better) coming likely around the beginning of the year. Remember, this is just my opinion. That being said, I just have some questions I want to get answered on how to leverage a market crash in real estate:

1. How exactly would I go about “shorting” real estate stocks and trust funds? Is that legal? Are there other real estate trading options that leverage a crash?

2. How much different is selling foreclosures as an agent from selling regular residential homes?

3. Are there any other ways I could leverage a crash and help clients/people I know during that time?

Thanks for all your tips and info. Again, this is just hypothetical, but I would rather be prepared and help others be prepared, than wander into a crash with blindfolds on!
