Also, I learned you should always get the biggest roll off disposal container allowed.

I created a checklist of functional items (faucets, deadbolts, garbage disposal, etc) to check every time there is a new tenant, that way if they break something, you can go back to the checklist and show how it was working properly when they started renting the place and you have a better argument to pass the cost on to them.

I acknowledge that managing and disposing of RE is much more of a headache than selling stock.

I also agree that REITs are more likely to track with the stock market than housing, directly, as I have seen that in my own portfolio.A direct short is a hard thing to figure, but maybe you could modify your strategy a bit by focusing investment on the businesses that benefit from a bad real estate market: Moving companies, discount retailers, waste disposal companies.Here is a good list of businesses that do well in recession.

If companies made forever products they would be out of business, hence why we have decome a disposable society.
