I'll try to be the voice of reason, but if I see something that I like, I may get on board.I was in Belize for a day(on a cruise) and can see the potential for any of these countries once theri tourism sector gets developed.

I have a steady career in the public sector and make a decent income, and my wife owns an online fitness business after leaving healthcare a couple of years ago. 

(Ross Perot was exactly right)  Cheap TVs in exchange for a decimated manufacturing sector is not a wise exchange - especially when a hostile adversary is in control of our medical supplies and electronic components used by our military.10.

I am a real estate agent with a year of experience in multi family,I may now have the opportunity to sell an automotive body shopthat will most likely be a re development or infill development,I am un experienced in this sector, can I outline what I have done so far and tell me what other issues I should be thinking about ?

I ask because I'm looking at commercial investing next to shelter capital from the eventual real estate crash, but am also having a hard time with the commercial sector vs the ease of assessing single family homes as investments, managing, etc. 

From a cash flow standpoint, I'll be able to rent out an already sectored off apartment to cover the overhead while I improve the other parts.Because I'm essentially 'purchasing' this property for ~40% ARV, I'm going to move on this.

The housing sector though is only part of the problem.

@Coty Dolan...lenders are still lending, in the private money sector, but that's going to be the name of the game now, is knowing where to go. 

Smaller cities tend to be dependent on a single company or market sector.

I believe this will keep prices at least stable (even with the rates up) and things will continue to move within the investment sector of this market.
