My wife and I have been lucky too--good mentors pushed us in the right direction at the right times...like buying at the near bottom of the real estate collapse.  

This currency collapse was the only time in US history where the real estate market had two major crashes in a 8 year period.

He neglected to inform me that the reason the tenant move s out was because a tree fell and collapsed the back half of the house in.  

Some say the collapse is coming but I think it’s naive to wait.

Back in 2000 I found a foreclosure that had about 15 ft of the rubble basement collapsing under the kitchen sink.

It's a investment site by a hedge fund manager, and in this post he interviews one of his friends that's a hard money lender in Miami - who sees Miami real estate (especially high end condos) starting to crash quickly.http://adventuresincapitalism.com/2019/09/25/miami-real-estate-collapse/

There is a some structural concerns with the porch overhang on both of the units at the front door of the residence that is massively leaning and my concern is 1) is this something that is highly expensive to repair (eyeball estimates please)2) is this something that I could ask the seller to replace in the contract before the sale3) Could I be potential sued by a tenant IF I take possession and it were to collapse?

., but if it's a shell where the roof is collapsing, I'd budget the $100/ft.

Got a lower-mileage, somewhat older (but all electronic) F150 for $700 with a collapsed front-end

If the deal collapses and I would lose everything, I'm out.
