I tried to crash the party, failed, but at least I ruined the wholesalers day.He told me with some excitement that he had made $3k on the deal.

Once REI becomes "cool" and "hip" again, the people who don't know what the heck they're doing will come in and drive the prices up, over-inflate the market again, and cause another crash (even if its not as bad as the last one). 

Due to the heavy market crash in the Phoenix real estate market, I found myself working primarily with investors looking to build rental portfolios on cheap homes and for properties to purchase, renovate and re-sell.

The site you gave just crashes unless I type super slow.

Just do the market research to the local area and confirm that you won't be buying a place about to crash or that you will have a hard time keeping tenants.

Be sure to get off the train before it crashes again

Real estate appreciates, people begin buying second homes, often in areas with high tourism (which happen to be places that were hard hit from the crash), and soon... things start growing in those areas.

I've build a few things and done some subdivisions, but that was before the crash.

One risk is the responsibility of being a landlord, and the other risk is if the market crashes and my investment principle tanks.
