A market crash is a drag for many many years.)

Continuing my self taught crash course in RE investing ( Books/Podcasts/Anything else appreciated)2.

In a way, it's a throw-back to the flipping craze which surrounded the crash of '07 / '08, especially previously unregulated short-sale flips where unscrupulous types were taking huge profits without ever taking title.Unbridled greed leads to new regulations and industry protections.

It seems to me that if you purchased an apartment property after the crash and held it until today you were the beneficiary of a historic compression of cap rates due to rates falling to almost zero.

If your waiting for a housing market crash you may not see one any time soon. 

The dollar is still the most powerful currency on earth.most currencies have crashed and stayed down (look at the euro for example)The FED printing money is mostly going back into the markets which doesn't affect inflation too much.A 2k let person stimulus while no one is spending will likely do nothing to the value of the dollar.With oil down so low, the dollar just got even more powerful

What market crash?

I purchased it in 2007 just before the crash and to date this past spring I feel like It finally got back to its original value.

If the foreigners were to leave the market, there would be a huge property crash.

It wakes you up, At least with Real estate I feel like I control my destiny. market might crash but i still own the properties. and were still making people who need to rent.
