And during the depression they used these deeds to these lots to induce people to pay to go to the movies.In the northern CA and southern Oregon area they created more in town type lots  Clear lake being a famous one.. about 100,000 lots were created there from 1915 to 1930...

This seems depressingly low for the potential of success for the renters and pretty much a cash grab for the investor.Can or will anyone comment on their experience with RTO fulfillment rates?

Cap rates have become so depressed that you will bleed out every month.

For rental properties:Presumably interest rates will rise, which should depress housing prices and possibly rents.

And we just like real estate...We live in the center of the Adirondacks in Northern NY, a beautiful but slightly economically depressed area.

@Michael Plante My strategy is buy & hold multi-family, focusing on depressed/motivated seller properties that can be rehabbed and rented out for cash flow; BRRRR preferable if the numbers and financing work. 

Inflation's gettin worse, and I doubt that we can recover soon, but depression?

My father who grew up as the Depression was ending has been waiting all his life for this to happen or at least it seems that way.

the economy is just fine.money is just changing hands that is allin the great deppression all you ever hear is about how many people lost and how much they lost.In reality during the depression more people became millionaires until current TimeCrazy thought but it is trueNow is the best time to be investing since the 80's

My lender has stated that he foresee a mass exodus out of the MCmansions and back into smaller, more affordable homes and I agree with that.It is rather depressing.
