Pueblo looks to have some new and regrowing industries such as it's steel, but there's no one sector that looks very strong.Pueblo has been stunted for quite some time....way before the last recession.

Looking to gain some insight/advice from investors that have profited in a recession before.How can someone position themselves to capitalize on a real estate downturn?

Recession is looming.

@Daniela Skrein hold your money for next recession than buy..

Lithonia lighting also makes these for $28/piece if you want a brand name Hykolity 4 Inch Ultra Thin LED Recessed Ceiling Light CRI 90+ Dimmable Downlight with Junction Box 12W 720lm [60W Equivalent] 4000K Neutral White ETL Listed - Pack of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0748B73RT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9xxcBbRXCDMGP

Then to quantify the risk, I ran those through three economic scenarios: "good times", small recession (rents fall but prices remain stable), bad recession (rents fall and prices fall).

With all this talk about a potential recession coming soon.

Now that prices have risen back to pre-recession levels, the 2% rule is much more difficult to meet.Distressed off market properties are where you're going to make the 1% (or greater) rule work in most markets.

And if you want to "whatabout" the Great Recession, great grab what some considered a "rough" neighborhood in Oakland in 2007, and let's even shorten it to 10 years.

Then I'd have enough money by the next recession to buy houses with 40% ROI ;)This is the most exciting game, nothing beats it :D
