All the shelves I did in both units are holding, but the one on my wife’s side was collapsed when we got home yesterday.She has the side the door opens into.

I own a rental in OKC and was just informed the garbage material that was used as a sewer pipe has collapsed.

pre-housing collapse you could do this, but in a Dodd-Frank world, you will not be able to get a mortgage for more than the LOWER between the sales price or appraised value.

You will be removing the stability of the foundation possibly causing the structure to sag or collapse.

During the collapse of the last housing bubble a decade ago there were plenty of locations that continued an upward trend in prices.

If the market collapses, I'll still be able to rent these properties and they are located in areas that would appreciate once the market improves down the line (if/when it drops).

What's supporting the house - is it on a crawl space with jacks/piers as supports (in which case you can add piers from Home Depot to correct any sloping in the floor) or are there cracks in the outside walls (which may or may not require the placement of steel beams to support a collapsing wall) or are there cracks in the slab?

Could be the GOV will cause a local market collapse, rather than more generic market forces.

What happens if we have another real estate collapse?

@Ed @Ed B. when I worked for several hedge funds back in the crazy days following the collapse, I often found people in homes that obviously didn't belong.
