Only the doomers and crash bros on here. lol

Even if there is a crash, and people downsize, those people will have a need for self-storage, as evidenced by storage occupancy rates during past recessions.And during inflationary times, our rental rates increase.

The last crash was too early into the age of the fractional to tell us much. 

Millions upon millions of jobs lost "forever" ("exported" to the "third world"), more millions lost half or more of their retirement accounts, creditors slashed and burned consumer credit to the point where, by the banksters' own numbers, some 74% of Americans wound up with "bad" credit (it was only 47% before they did that), ...Now, add in the knee-jerk responses in the lending industry and you've got a situation where only the elite of formerly middle-class wage earners can even hope to qualify for new home loans.In fact, the given the current housing shortage (yet more fallout from the crash), it is ONLY the dearth of lending which is keeping home prices from launching into interstellar space by suppressing demand.

But perhaps it is the thoughts and experience that matters the most; and maybe more so to hear the feedback or new ideas... or maybe just simply hear the voices outside the one in my head.I hope this is the right section to post this under, and I sure hope BP is the right place to finally share my story:=============================================================2008: While at UT Austin, the world crashed and burned.

I am very confused at why this would be a "small issue" unless I am just completely out to lunch, which I hope I am.The MHU boot camp would be a very good crash course for you I believe--you may be in over your head and not even realize it.

I pulled out of the market back in 2006 during the crash.

Tampa for 30 years and since the 2008 Crash, I have not been able to afford a handyman.

Real estate may continue to go up for another 8 years or it may crash tomorrow.  

BRRRR can be refinanced at any time.4) Flips are much much more risky if the market crashes.
