May say we are coming into a recession in 2020 or 2021. 

Take a look at condos too, not only townhomes, they won’t appreciate as much and they will be the first to lose value during a recession/correction, but they are cheaper than townhomes/SFH and if the HOA fees are not ridiculous, they can probably cash flow a little better.

Prices are absurd on the East Side, but probably also more recession-proof. 

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 haven't been through a recession but this is what I do to avoid losing my shirt and investor money.

I did a ton of this work in the recession as a contractor for a bank. 

(Usually 7-10 years is plenty of time to appreciate, but give the Great Recession of 2008-09, I’m adding a few extra years to the equation.)

I'm young and new to real estate but even I cant spot a market recession is long over-do for Asheville and will most likely happen within 2 years.

Other posts on BiggerPockets have pointed out that during The Great Recession, banks were cutting back or eliminating credit lines.

During that time, we also had my brother live with us, so we were also paying below market rent.I'm also a little worried about a possible recession upcoming and the market slowing down.
