Doesn't change the fact that France is not a good investment.As I have said in other topics, many French have put their money in real estate for the last 5 years because of the crisis.

I bought a duplex there in 2006 (Oakland Street) for $75K and sold for $150K in 2014 after my manager became an opioid crisis statistic.  

I don’t need to be one crisis away from bankruptcy.

And, at the same time, Brazil has undergone a big economic crisis, which has had a downward effect on real estate prices expressed in reais, which has compounded with the drop of the reais against the dollar.

The market will have to cool, but there will be no CRASH.The next crisis will not look like the previous.  

when in Fact you have zero control over the funding your relying on a third party.Bottom line its like flying a small plane you just dont know what you dont know until your in the middle of a crisis..

The next crash is always, always, always 12-18 months away, due to some very convincing indicators:2013:Denver Post: “Buyers Caught in a Price Squeeze”CNBC: “Housing Market Already Shows Signs of a New Bubble”2014:New York Times: “The Bubble Is Back”Fortune: “Why the Housing Recovery is over, in four charts”2015:CNBC (Again): “Housing today: A ‘bubble larger than 2006’”National Review: “We’ve inflated another bubble; count on the crash.”2016:CNN: “Housing bubble fears have returned”MarketWatch: “The Seeds of the Next Housing Crisis have already been planted”2017:Forbes: “58% of Homeowners Think The Housing Market is Set for a Correction”USA Today: “Hot Housing Market Could Cool in 2018”2018:Bloomberg: “This Rare Bear Who Called the Crash Warns Housing is Too Hot Again”Maybe this time it really is... and maybe there is a massive price drop that will hammer everyone. 

That crisis was nothing compared to what we have on our hands today.Imagine Apple stores are closed.

For me I want a house in the Bay Area, and I feel it's extremely overvalued IMO, so I do not feel comfortable as prices have appreciated significantly.Deflationary crisis throughout history has created the most wealth for individuals.

I think with all real estate especially multifamily you will see a dip in returns due to the current crisis, and the back log that will be in the courts.Originally posted by @Julie L.
