On top of that, the market is peaking, so less natural gifted appreciation will occur, so the purchase price and value add will be even more critical..  

Well, there is no insurance here......insurance doesn’t cover structural/construction issues occurring over time, and certainly not preexisting ones.

No harm is ever going to come from visiting the market.

There is no backup other than the opposite of up is down so down must be coming next.I acknowledge there's a strong headwind right now in the buyer's marketplace but I do not think a GFC-like crash is coming next as that crash occurred due to market fundamentals that are unlike the current situation in the US.I think we are likely to continue to experience market stagnation due to inventory issues going forward.

The kicker is that they share in the upside of any appreciation that has occured when you sell. 

Rather than try to fight the way things work (everything has downsides and you can't protect people from every possible harm that may come there way), use "the system" to make a profit for yourself, and give back where you feel it will do the most good (and there is never enough, there never will be).For instance, in this case it might mean making as much as you possibly can (in an ethical manner) and steering a percentage of those profits into something that helps what you feel about.Now you might say that's sideways logic, but really, you can't stop the way things work (they work that way for a reason that generally involves the greater good in some way, such as preventing slums) and those who would benefit from the percentage donation (even if it's not tax deductible, such as a homeless shelter) would never get that money if you had not made a profit.
