I had no idea what I wanted to do at 18, the recession had just started and I wanted an adventure and the war seemed like an adventure.

Or if you are the type of person that doesn't like debt or worries about a recession than paying them off might make sense. 

The effects of the recession dragged on longer in these markets, with staggering foreclosures in Dayton through about 2015.  2016 was when people started first flipping houses in Dayton, not sure of Cincinnati, but with about an hour or so between the two, I can't imagine a huge difference in the landscape.I have seen a lot of developments popping up between Dayton and Cincinnati as the area revitalizes. 

Credit is pretty easy to come by now, but if we go into a recession credit can be a lot harder to get.

I am currently doing some research such as areas, college kids vs blue collar for long run, what’s likely “more” recession proof, SFRs vs MFs, lending practices there, PMs etc etc, and BP forum hopefully is one such research tool :).

If the loans were structured then the way they are now I would have had to wait several years before making that first purchase.I also agree that the government is going to do whatever they can do to keep interest rates low until we are "officially" out of the recession, which probably will be largely judged on unemployment numbers.

With respect to the domestic real estate market, who in your opinion do you think would be the best candidate to help bring us out of the market meltdown and prevent a possible recession?

👀Multifamily real estate was relatively resilient during the 2020 recession, with a smaller drop in investment volumes than most other mainstream asset types.

Plus, more expensive areas, like the Bay, get hit hardest from a home value percentage loss perspective during recessions.

These 3 bed, 2 bath homes tend to be robust during recessions, but also attract quality tenants.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
