Having lost a lot of money from '06-'09 in the Florida crash I can attest to: 1. the old adage that almost everything is "easier to get into than out of".2.

Come to open house asking if the market will crash.

The investment bankers in the U.S. whose activities made the 2008 crash so disastrous didn't have to pay fines that reduced their profits significantly.

I don't believe you've gone through a large correction or crash in your real estate investing.

They stopped allowing it after the housing market crash.  

His vehicle crashed into my ground floor condo leaving a big gaping hole in the building which gave the bedroom a new panoramic view of the outdoors.  

We recently moved to Texas and bought our first investment property.Let me start by saying I have very high and consistent screenings- all my tenants in our other homes are model (learned the hard way several years ago when we dabbled before the crash).

We have previously flipped homes and owned a few rentals prior to the housing crash.

I feel a friends and family raise would help me start some new projects and start utilizing my own network.I am wondering if anyone can give me a crash course on what I would need to do and some of the boundaries I have to follow.  

In the last 2 crashes the values did not dip below 30% in our areas so therefore, even if we end up even, rents will still sustain us.
