If I crash into your car with my car, and you sue me, I know why you are doing that. 

Prior to the Great Crash of 2008, most investors looked at & analyzed 100 properties, to make 10 lowball offers (so the property cashflowed) to hopefully get one accepted.Not many investors want to work that hard today.They'd rather invest in high-risk Class C properties and take their chances, as opposed to doing the hard work mentioned above!

Right before the crash... 2.Well, I would say not anymore.

Although during an audit, a cross auditor with an unpleasant attitude, or who for some reason dislikes the client, or is just having a bad day might disallow it- causing either a fine or going to court making the client pay for that (And no one wants to be a test case $$$$$$).

So a CRE crash will indirectly hit the economy hard, I still believe SFR is a quality, long-term scarcity hard asset worth investing in.

In recent years, we've often heard predictions about a housing market crash.

Prices have gone up, but still relatively inexpensive.The Farangs (Westerners) on ThaiVisa.com speculate (hope) that it is going to crash, but it keeps going up.People on ThaiVisa.com could advise you on property in Cambodia.  

I’ve been at this a Long time, and almost all these people bragging on how they made money anticipating the last crash (or boom) get the next one COMPLETELY WRONG.

With this strategy (which may not work for everyone), the housing market could crash like it's 2008 again and as long as I can put in tenants that have the ability to pay, my investment goals are not impacted.

While these companies can offer convenience, it's crucial to vet them thoroughly to avoid any unpleasant surprises like excessive fees.
