Things went well for us the first few years, but the severity of the Great Recession (and explosion of the housing bubble) proved to great. 

I am watching the ground level real estate happenings and they give me hope, cause I tell you what: I am sure tired of this recession.

I squeezed it in & recessed the stove into the old mudroom.Before AFTER

There is a demand for what we do although it's not a recession proof job so it's good to know other skills, real estate included.

We need a recession.. lol.. 

Their homes are not investments and this kind of home ownership is so unprofitable it caused a recession, where millions of folks to this day can't even sell them for what they bought them for TEN years ago!  

3 condo in the city of San Francisco, all 2/1.... 1 SFH right outside the city on the Pennysula...Itching badly to get more, but telling myself to wait for the next recession...

We have the largest military base on earth, this is recession proof investing 

I'm concerned that a recession in 2020 could drive home values even lower, so I'm nervous about buying right now for fear we are still at the top of a bubble. 

Slow and steady wins the race.I’m brand new to this, but have been listening to Bigger Pockets for 6 months.Question; if you refinance your home and when the economy hits a recession, can the bank demand the loan to be paid in full immediately?
