There are real estate deals in every type of real estate market whether it be in a downturn or expansion.

Does anyone else believe in Austrian Economics & follow Peter Schiff & Lew Rockwell & think that when the everything bubble pops in next couple years (we are already in 2nd longest expansion ever) that we will have an event at least as bad as a Great Depression & a full blown dollar crisis with cryptos & hard assets coming to replace it?

@Ray Harrell I don't think there's a super secret decoder ring that someone gets when they join that "portfolio expansion" secret society. 

No more expansion of cities. 

Very interesting topic which I think will be discussed more often in the coming days as the expansion period continues to be one of the longest we have seen.

Our cities cant just build out more and more across a barren expanse.

Seen to the right is a list & timeline.The most famous stimulus package is the 2020 $2 Trillion US Government Bailout of the Economy, but this is just a small piece of the giant money printing puzzle.The 2009-2020 economic cycle has been the longest economic expansion in history.The expansion was fueled by historically low interest rates and Fed money printing stimulus (QE), where Fed in co-op w/ banks increased the money supply by giving loans that were not backed by real savings, this requires continuous credit injection into the financial system.Since the 2008 crash, the underlying economy has never expanded with the stock market.

My other option is to invest in Lafayette (city accross the river) which seems to be growing with about 1,000 jobs being added in 2 years when the Subaru Assembly plant finishes its expansion...I don't want to make a monumental mistake, however I want to jump in feet first...any advice would be much appreciated.

There have been a half dozen 150+ unit luxury apartment built in last couple years as well as a new hospital and Rapid expansion of the community college. 

I wish that I was more aggressive over the last 8 years both in terms of expansion and how I handled the properties I have owned.
