I would be surprised to see another nationwide crash like we had around 2008 anytime soon, but it seems like certain areas (such as certain parts of Florida and SoCal for instance) are much more susceptible to booms and crashes than other areas like the upper midwest for instance, where prices never seem to skyrocket and also rarely seem to crash either.

We've been through a HUGE correction in prices, even here in Milwaukee, an area that rarely has ever seen prices decline to any large extent, prices have corrected quite a bit from 2008 or so.

It is rarely physical labor but most often it includes driving neighborhoods, looking up ownership records, making uncomfortable calls, etc.

I didn't have a lot of trouble with tenants or sellers or buyers in my investing days, but, on the rare occasion that I did, I would always ask the question:"What is the amount of the check I need to write out to make this problem go away?"

To echo Dion, we rarely buy from brokers.

I rarely set foot OTP, where you are, and know nothing about the market, since it's completely different from ITP

That's why CCR and R&R are there, to be followed.
