Due to the financial crisis, the borderline unscrupulous (and often illegal) promotion of Cleveland investing to foreign markets (low money in, no improvements, exit by abandonment), and the market-killing point-of-sale inspections, it's a market that cries out for even a moderate level of social responsibility to breathe life back into communities.

This number exploded over the last five years as the government propped up the mortgage market in the wake of the financial crisis.

This recession is nothing like the 2007-2008 crisis.

It's a great market with a low rental unit crisis (We are about 500 units short), so it works well for our model.

In fact; according to the stats there are twice as many.Rocketing REOsWhile some appear to have forgotten there was a foreclosure crisis RealtyTrac reports that bank owned properties leapt up 50% year over year to April 2015.

I don't usually like agents double ending deals (difficult if not impossible to properly rep both sides) but he did an amazing job, was diplomatic, guided us & helped us to the end.

My goals are met by investing in this property and financing 75% with a mortgage.Questions:Should I stop the investment due to the crisis that was generated in the previous weeks?

So here are my thoughts:If you study the last 5 recessions real estate prices only went down in 3 of 5 of those recessions. 2008 was directly related to the mortgage crisis.

the 25% is actually a buffer, let's say tomorrow there's a financial crisis, and the bank can sustain their losses with 75% LTV.If you only put 5% down, it gives an advantage to you and very bad business to the lender, just think about it.
