He made over 100k a year and with limited lifestyle, we barely survive in SF.

Redemption only applies if those were junior liens; if they were senior liens they survive the foreclosure. 

In fact, you'll look forward to the drops so that you can buy rental properties at a discount.I will look at my investments again to see if I'm in a safe position to survive a market crash, but I do plan to keep investing in local real estate.
