We all have a lot to gain from the wisdom of those who lived through the Great Recession.If you have survived or even thrived in real estate in the last recession, please please please share your experience with us.What was your real estate strategy?

I have bought and sold in the bay area and Oregon 5 times now and each time we got big tax free gains from 250 to 500k each time.. this is why you do what you need to do to own on the west coast. 

It will also allow you to gain focus on your new goal of buying a property by {insert date} in {insert market}.

I strongly believe that gaining experience at this point in my life is much more valuable than making good money at dead end job!

I'm not as familiar with Beckley, but in Huntington, Charleston, and Eastern KY the house is just as likely to lose 2% as it is to gain 2% so I don't even factor it in.

And if you are a newer  investor, syndications allow you to hire a manager that has infinitely more experience and knowledge than you can ever hope to gain (and thus avoid newbie mistakes).The biggest disadvantage with syndications is that you have to be able to feel comfortable with vetting and choosing a manager that will have full control.

You suspended loss will be available to offset your gain.
