Thanks for all the responses... Glad to see the rents didn't drop in some cases! In your opinion, what class or price range of properties would be hit the hardest and why? Would the more expensive properties with higher rents drop more or would the lower cost properties drop more? Thanks...

Hi,

I was not investing during the market crash in 2008. I have been able to find some information on how much property values dropped in different areas of the country. I have had a harder time finding out how much rents dropped during the rough years for investors...

I was hoping some experienced buy and hold investors would give me some real life examples of how the crash affected (or hopefully didn't affect) their monthly rents and cash flow.

Thanks!

@Michael X.

I agree with @Dion Depaoli. I think if you are supplying your realtor with enough volume and you had your brokers license it would be something worth pursuing.

I was wondering if you made a decision about opening a brokerage?

Hi,

I was just wondering what website is the best for finding out home values of each city for the past 5/10/30 years..

Thanks.

Thanks for the responses.

@Will Barnard If I am understanding right, would linear markets be a better market for investors who are trying to generate high cash flow to grow their business? The cyclical areas would be better suited for investors looking for larger gains, but over a longer period of time?

@Arjun K. Did the midwest get hit harder during the recent crisis than the coastal areas? I always assumed Florida, California etc. were hit harder than the midwest, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the responses.

@Douglas Dowell With the lower growth potential in linear markets, what would you consider a reasonable expectation for appreciation in a linear market?

Also, what areas would you consider linear or cyclical?

Hi,

I was just wondering what the difference is between a linear and a cyclical market?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response Joel.

The seller financing is something haven't even started to explore. Seems like a great way to get higher returns...

Another question you might have a good answer for is, how viable is trading up properties? I always read about how the goal is to keep trading up to larger properties, but I have wondered how hard it is to do?

@Joel Owens

When you buy a commercial property, how much below market value do you consider is 'buying it right'? 10% below market value?

Thanks!

Jeff,

Great response as always.

I agree with you Jeff, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me to not keep all my eggs in one basket. Your right, it is just common sense.

Thanks again...
