Don't forget is an important statement for me to hear, as I bought my primary residence in 2011 and have only realized the correction from that recession.I don't think when sailing into a storm you have to furl all the sails, so we are still buying the right deals and continuing to utilize leverage to rehab and flip or refinance through recent acquisitions.
