It was also considered one of the most recession proof cities in the nation.  

In Denver, for instance, year-over-year appreciation has averaged 6%, even accounting for some big housing recessions.

If we were to go into a big recession and you have tenants that are not paying and you can't get them out in a timely manner (think California), or if you all of a sudden have multiple houses that need new roofs or new ac units that can be a huge hit and if you can't pay for them you can be in a big problem.

Sell several properties bunched closely together and purchase one larger asset.Another neat trick is to take a step to "recession proof" your portfolio. 

But not much more than that unless we go into a major recession.

This should keep the Fed on track to cut short-term interest rates by May.CBRE expects the U.S. economy to slow this year and achieve a rare soft landing rather than a full-blown recession.

The consensus is that we are in or about to enter a recession.

Saving around 10,000 would take me twos so if I'm able to get by with a lower down payment I will gladly do so..I understand  concerns that the lower the down payment  the bigger your mortgage and that banks offering low money down loans partly caused the recession....

,Don't take this the way it sounds, but perhaps you recall a little thing in the news some years back called, "The Great Recession".
