As one to lose your virginity on, it looks fairly OK.My first house was one much like this - I got it under contract for $32,000, realized during inspection that the basement was collapsing (we rarely see basements here in Texas because of shifting soils), and got the bank to lower the price to $22K.

It seems to me like I am perfectly positioned to do so, as I see the commercial real estate space, especially here in Denver, CO, as one that has a number of red flags signalling a collapse in prices.I'd like to get some thoughts on this analysis.The Good - Market Fundamentals: To kick things off, I think that the most important fundamentals of the CO real estate market - both commercial and residential are strong.

I’m not sure that it will be a huge market collapse but there are a few cracks in the foundation of this hot market.

and the financial collapse of the Great Recession, I decided to leave the toy industry.That led to a 5-year stint at as a Gourmet Food Buyer, which I enjoyed immensely, but couldn't see myself retiring from.

The first one we found it had collapsing Orangeburg pipe.

After they moved out and a new tenant had moved in, the shelf collapsed, dropping the microwave (literally) on the head of the new tenant.  

Realize that there is a chance these deals will totally collapse.
