If the deal collapses and I would lose everything, I'm out.

People in 2009 thought the world was collapsing.

Here's an example on these forums from four years ago: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/888/topics/829466-housi...I still stick with what I said in mid 2022: Given that lending standards were much, much stronger than in 2008 and that most homeowners have long term fixed rates instead of Teasers, the real estate market won't collapse even if demand is down because supply is down (less inventory because people don't want to sell off properties with those great loans).

Steal Industry, auto manufacturing, the facilitating things to these like coal mining, the decapitation of these industries in the US has left a trail of devastated towns and collapsed markets who have NOT come back and have no prospects of ever coming back to there former glory as the "thing" that put them there, is gone. 

I also listen to broadcasts and I am really impressed by Brian Burke and Andrew Cushmen that stop buying in the last three years and sell most of the property to realize gain before collapse.

There will be stagflation MSA's, there will be appreciating MSA's, some declining MSA's and some MSA's that will look a lot like iterations of a crash or collapse. 

Without going into too much detail, we had a mid-rise apartment building in our downtown collapse a little over a year ago which very sadly killed 3 of our residents.

The one's that struggled or collapsed tended to run very tight on cash flow. 

Depending on what the line looks like (i.e. if it's just a small gap in a joint/imperfection in the line that the roots are growing in, and not that a whole section of the line has collapsed or anything like that) then you can probably try this first before replacing the line.

The 1920s in Florida was a time of excess, immense wealth, and precipitous collapse.
