I am from Northern Virginia, I bought my first rental property when the market crashed a few years back with the help of my mom.

There probably will be another big housing crash soon. 

A three day crash course?

We are thinking of using our equities again to do some flips before the next crash (just kidding...).  

It could be days, it could be months, it could be the next market crash...

South/Ozone Park area of Jamaica used to be reasonable but the affluent westindian diaspora community have really built up the values in the past decade despite the market crash!

Your answer to that question should also apply to your scenario of sacrificing cash flow to crash debt on one property vs building up cash flow to apply as down payments on other properties....or potentially just spending on something else i guess.While most of the people would prefer more properties and debt, that requires a long term hold, careful cash management and less, if any emphasis on future appreciation....at least in terms of counting on any.  

No one expects a crash landing, but some atmospheric changes in the metro market are becoming increasingly palpable says Cooper.Interest rates are poised for adjustment.

As a trusted property contact said to me, "It would not be logical for these [EU] countries to kill the golden goose that has traditionally brought them such great numbers of buyers and wealth" - Nick Marr from www.europeanproperty.comProperty prices have taken longer to recover from the 2007-08 crash in European destinations popular with British buyers than prices in the UK.

After, only fixxer uppers, right when the market crashed..Great deals with less competition, YAAASSS!
