If you're not paying attention, whatever you have started building could very well collapse w/o your attention."

@Barri Griffiths,  I agree with @Darryl Dahlen and @John Barrows   Prior to 2008 Financial Collapse, lenders accepted pro forma, but since than, lender only base the numbers on actual. 

Half a decade into the biggest real estateboom in our nation’s history—and a full two years after punditsbegan warning of collapse—the endgame remains unclear.

Then my world collapsed my children and I were in our car and hit by a truck doing 65mph while we were at a dead stop.

If you find a building that the tenants pay water then that is an 800 per month profit before maintenance.And you can raise the rent here every couple of years and when you do its on four doors so your spread becomes healthy as the years go by.Also, another positive is it will not collapse due to a basement wall caving in.

I see no data to believe that nation wide housing collapses are common.

Negative interest rates are an articulation of an economy slowing collapsing.

With 100% confidence I can tell you that we will have a recession/economic collapse bigger than 2008 in the next 1,000 years.

I rehabbed, flipped, rented, built and developed until the collapse.  

Uh-oh, big surprise: NAR has fudged up data to hide the magnitude of the collapse:
