, doors jam, and even have the roof collapse on that side.

The fast growth is good and the market is strong but you have to watch the market carefully and be ready to exit because the market seems to be following the same patterns as when it collapsed the last time.

Everyday I'm reading articles stating that another recession is coming and a housing collapse is all but a sure thing in the next year or so.

I can cite my BP post https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/65820-comps which exemplifies the "down" market where an appraiser confirmed "This market has effectively collapsed over the previous 12 to 18 months... ".

A few details: 80’ wide lot, newer furnace, metal roof, collapsed out-building on the property that needs to be removed, needs electrical panel replaced (which I can do, assuming local code allows me to), needs siding or paint.

The Real Deal reports that rents are collapsing in some of America's biggest cities.  

Some of the best money I ever spent was to find out a property I was considering had no septic system and basement walls that were collapsing inward from water pressure in the ground outside.

This market has effectively collapsed over the previous 12 to 18 months... price for fixerupper properties have dropped to lows not seen in a generation"

I think it could sell for 500k with a high end kitchen, and certainly in another few years (assuming the system doesn't collapse again).  

These are signs of pending collapse, and such walls should be rehabilitated or reconstructed.Oh, and Merry Christmas!
