But we are all on this ride because there is no other ride to get on if we get off this one. 

Hey @Anthony Matus ~ I'm active duty myself, and while not a submarine officer, I spent about three years riding submarines.

Ride by the house to see if it is occupied or vacant. 

Hi everyone,Now that im out the military, i have a free college ride to study anything i want.

Those who will survive will be those who are able to ride it through and not be put into a situation where they will have to sell. 

If one is close to being paid off, personally I'd ride that one out if you don't need the extra cash flow now....If it's going to go up significantly when it's paid off and you want to have it paid off.

Keep putting in the work and riding the rollercoaster of RE investing.

In fact, I would say the vast majority of investors do so in this fashion. 

It has been a good ride up since that paper was written but now the city is a competitor as they tie the landlord's hands and then buy properties to build low cost housing on expensive land.

As long as you have positive cash flow, you can ride out any turbulence in the housing market and choose when to sell in the future.
