The shear volume of people doing it and failing is what ultimately caused the collapse in my local market. 

If the deal collapses and I would lose everything, I'm out.

I was just taking advantage of the collapse of the housing market to do a little real estate investing, maybe a house or two, but I got hooked. 

Rents actually increased strongly in most markets during the great recession and housing collapse.

“I have friends on Wall Street, but I find it unbelievable that we could have a collapse like we did and only one guy gets prosecuted,” he said.

You can get lots of calls, but the question I ask myself for every mailer is, "How much is this going to put into my pocket".Canada right now is twice, (2x), double, the problem the good ol' USA had at the peak just before the collapse.

Some of the rentals in that town had trashed garages with collapsed roofs! 

What happens to my rental properties if the dollar collapses and I still own money on my mortgage?

So I hired a contractor to come clean the 40' long 10" diamater tree branch off the roof and numerous other branches leaning collapsed fences, I hired another contractor to come fix the roof leak. 

I try purchasing only things that are either multi-purpose or can be folded or collapsed. 2.
