One of the best things (almost nobody does) is to spend a few hours and mystery shop your competition - pretend you are an interested aplicant and call, ask questions, see if they do open house type showings.

I am not going to pretend that everything is swell but here are the reasons I don't think this will be a bloodbath like 2008.1. 42.1% of all homes in the US are owned outright.2. 58.7% of all homes in the US have 60% equity.   3.

However, pretend a friend of yours told you this story. 

Take the time to pretend you are a renter looking for a place to live in your market. 

Call a couple of management companies in your area and pretend you're looking for something similar.

Heck, you could rent to a non-disabled person who burns the place down after smoking pot against the rules in your unit LOL.Just pretend she can see and treat her like that.  

Yeah, I had one broker actually call and pretend that I'd agreed to bring an "executor's deed" to my hearing for my mother's probate (they get the court filings, which are public), and say that I need to be sure to have it in hand at the hearing, and some other garbage basically presenting herself as a legal expert - I reported her to the state bar as someone practicing law without a license and reported her to the state realtor's board, too.There are serious consequences for people using predatory techniques to prey on people who are grieving or aren't savvy about real estate deals or who are uneducated or seniors, etc. 

Well, pretend you didn't know and put it in your contract anyway, and if a tenant complains you can say, "Huh.  

If you doubt me, go talk to a lawyer.Think about this and pretend someone you didn't know came to you for advice with this question.  

Pretend you are the tenant.
