I lost a lot during the crash 08-09 but am trying to bounce back slowly.

Ironically, I had made about the same amount by actually predicting the crash and shorting the market at the top.

It is true that if the housing market crashes again, whether you are flipping or investing in a portfolio of real estate properties, it is hard to get out.

Just had a tree branch crash down on a roof and the HOA fixed the outside, but said the inside was my problem.

If the stock market crashes, i think 1 of 2 things could happen.

With home prices increasing rapidly, I was appreciative to pull the trigger on a deal I wasn’t confident would yield positively if a housing crash were to occur. 

Vegas is great until it crashes. 

To me, it seems like this would be an excellent 1-2 year crash course to learn the "nuts and bolts" of the industry for a variety of reasons.

They bought these properties right before the market crashed and were underwater since then. 

Before the crash in 1970s he wrote a letter to his shareholders explaining why they were selling off their investments because everything had inflated too much and there were no undervalued stocks.
