Probably not, considering that 10 years ago it was the worse economic crisis in at least 70 years since the Great Depression.BUT, if those who did not understand that it was a FANTASTIC time to invest once the crisis was over, even if the same thing occurs, their risk intolerance will probably steer them to the investments that won't appreciate the most, and that is unfortunate.This is really about education in the long run.People have to add to their inventory of skill sets for an investor the ability to calculate and understand appreciation and other future values.It's the only way to get used to the psychology that things change in the future and where you buy can either capture that change if it's good, or avoid it if it is not.I just can't believe people make a decision on an Investment based on one single calculation for today, usually the Cash on Cash Return, and then completely ignore all future economics.That's like the squirrel that doesn't bother saving his nuts for the winter because he has a lot around in the fall when they dropped off the trees.Good thing squirrels can think about the future value of saving his nuts!

Hi, I recently bought a single family home in Indianapolis.

Over the last 18 years I have purchase real estate (HUD fixer-upper rent and sell, 6 unit apartment, duplex and single family home) I currently have 1 duplex, 3 single family home and a commercial building all within the state in which I reside. 

single story home like a ranch

Even when inventory was much higher I was looking for single story, 3 car garage, pool house in gated community, less than 15 years old.

What would you do if you had a chance to start over, multi family duplex, single family home, commercial shop, etc?

My strategy is likely going to be buy and hold single family homes in FW area to rent out.

You may want to look for a single unit!”

I am from Detroit, MI eager to get involved in investing  buy & hold real estate for single family & small multi unit (2-4) properties.
