I live in Northwest Indiana and had rentals before the 2008 recession.

Boise seems to be really hot now for investing; it was one of the hardest hit bubbles in the recession but i hear it's coming back very nicely and affordably...

That area is red hot, started before the recession, kind of slowed, and has now taken off more than ever.

Conventional down payments have varied some after the recession and are not back with the low down products. 

Now that the recession is over, what is considerable good amount of time to go again?

It's becoming much harder to find good cash flow deals now, so while we're still watching what gets listed for sale, we figure we probably won't buy much (if any) more until the next recession (with the exception of likely doing a 1031 to get rid of our CA triplex). 

THe Lagrange market has been booming even during the recession.

just trying to figure out how to make enough cash flow to buy a Tesla (modern benz).I'm waiting patiently for the next recession so that I can gobble up discounted properties to hedge against risk, higher appreciation potential, and obviously higher cash flow! 

My firm invests in a few different recession resistant asset types including self storage and mobile home parks.

Self storage, yes is recession proof if your already rented up.
