I don't know if I could have that conversation diplomatically.

In a time of economic crisis you’ll be glad you hold the note on those places , however it’s true your missing out on other opportunities because the money is tied up .

During the house crisis, the house was upside down and my parents are going to become homeless.

During the crisis I worked with several banks in liquidating REO properties.

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Miramar.

Purchase price: $215,000

Cash invested: $22,000

1/1 condo..was my primary residence.. due to job opportunity had to turn...

Purchase price: $18,000 Cash invested: $3,000 This is a fee simple, no HOA, townhouse bought during the depth of the RE crisis in 2010.

I buy for cashflow because appreciation doesn’t pay the bills and in a economic crisis that 300k house can't sell for 200k while the bills stack up  .

One of the main reasons we’ve seen such a surge in California ADU bills is to combat the housing crisis.

My rents in Oklahoma went up during & after the 2008 crisis & I made more money.

As for properties, a lot of Bangor is priced on the higher side due to there currently being a housing crisis  (great time to be a landlord) but there are still plenty of deals to be found here and on the other side of the river in Brewer if you look.
