Is there anything we learned from the housing collapse that we didn't already know?

The premise is that debt because of fracking will cause a global economic collapse?

What's the best way to track it so I can find out why the deal collapsed if it does, and move quickly to close on it?

Some of it will be eaten up by commissions and your portion of the closing costs.And finally, and this is just my opinion, is that a sour economy is actually good for rentals because people aren't as eager to take on a mortgage commitment when they are uncertain.Back in 2008 I was looking to rent a place in the Bay Area, just as the economy was collapsing.

If you attempt to jack these, be aware that if the dowels come out during the jacking process, the structure could collapse.

It's filled with blight and really on the edge of collapse...not uncommon in these small towns...I'm sure folks from Mansfield think it's great and that's fine.Ohio has 3 major cities, Columbus being by far the largest and most stable with exponential continued growth.

I keep reading articles and seeing videos of people saying the housing market is on its way to a collapse. 

Shortly after moving out and a tenant moved in, the bedroom ceiling collapsed due to excessive weight and inadequate ventilation in the attic, requiring replacement of ceilings throughout the entire house at enormous expense.

Lots of people were saying the market had peaked in late 2019 & buyers were overpaying for deals.They weren’t wrong (just watch how many class C deals end up as NPLs & REOs in 2022/2023) but I still bought a great property at a great price.The fact the market is in a bubble doesn’t mean YOU have to participate in the bubble.The fact of the matter is that when prices collapse like they did in 2008, you can blindly purchase almost ANYTHING & you’ll do alright, simply because a low basis compensates for so much.
