Hey allmoved to the chandler area and looking to get together with like minded investorsThe reason I chose chandler is for the low crime, great appreciation and the overall feel of the areaif your looking for a starter place I would choose the chandler, Gilbert areas for sure, the volatility right now is out of control due to the current situation, I'm waiting to get on board again after the next collapse which will be around September when the furlough ends and the next frenzy strikes before the election, don't invest based on emotion, watch the market

When they first came into fashion in the 1990s (during the time of the RTC and the great Savings and Loan collapse), so many were being issued that some underwriters had whole departments dedicated to doing nothing but issuing them. 

Condemned houses with collapsed cinder block foundations.Every single time, we were elbow to elbow with a flood of buyers and we nearly always lost out to a higher bidder - and that's the golden nugget in all this. 

The dollar is collapsing both here and abroad with our Nation lenders.

For anything over 30 years, make sure you camera the sewer pipes, especially if they are cast iron or clay, as they are liable to collapse.

The market is different than it was before the last collapse.

I could live just off the pension if necessary, even with the rentals vacant, but I could also go back to work very easily; I have a doctorate degree in a high demand field with many years of experience.This is not to say that a total disaster couldn't happen, the perfect storm, that would wipe out all of my contingency plans; economic collapse where I couldn't find a job and my other investments were wiped out, the state's inability to pay my pension, etc.

I personally think a major factor we are starting to see the ramifications of the 2008 housing collapse.

Hope the financial system will not collapse before the virus dies down.

@Cailyn Aune  in 1997 how could he have predicted the lending culture that led to the collapse. 125% mortgages and liar loans were not inventged then
