The financial crisis made lenders pretty skittish about allegations of pushing bad mortgages onto people that couldn't afford them.If the seller knew better, he/she would let you out of the deal.  

When I was living in downtown Dallas from 2006 - 2011, the economy was still recovering from the oil bust and savings & loan crisis from the late 1980s.

What I experienced during the housing crisis was the rents did not fall nearly as much as the home prices (My total rent decline was $50/month). 

It was very hard not to laugh, but I think I handled it as diplomatically as I could have :) Good Luck!

With the new passing of a bill called the Financial Choice Act, which scales back or eliminates many of the post-crisis banking rules under Dodd Frank, I wanted to know what other BP members thought about this topic, and how they feel this will impact real estate as a whole, and specifically in their markets.

I would like to do this diplomatically but I don't even know what legal options she has here.Advise?

Offers in by Monday.We have a crisis of low inventory in the city, so when deals are posted, they don't last long.

Our partner has over 10 B/C class apt communities in Houston and their occupancy held up well during the oil crisis, slightly increasing during that time while class A occupancy got hammered.  

During the financial crisis & real estate meltdown, many solvent companies/people went bankrupt because they didn't have enough liquidity, and therefore defaulted on their obligations, and some/many (technically) insolvent companies which had a decent amount of liquidity survived the crisis.  

I've walked away from some good deals on apartment buildings back during the housing crisis because I didn't feel comfortable making a "real world" intelligent offer.
