@Elke Cardella  I do inside the city not surrounding areas but I have heard many of the lower social economic class are moving out of the city to Owings Mills.

This model is pretty recession proof as the pieces that make up the puzzle are not based on economic trends, rather the laziness of people.

It is very easy to find a talking head or article that will speak of different economic events which are imminent!

Look into Cleveland, its got good cashflow potential with appreciation happening as well.Looking for appreciation come to Columbus, there are still 1% deals, but the more attractive part is the population growth and other economic drivers!

You could also try to air bnb the properties but there are a lot of rules in Vegas with this depending on the location.Vegas is cheap still and economically on the rise with rents and appreciation of home values.

Markets like Destin or the Smoky Mountains continue to perform well, even in economic down turns because of their accessibility. 

I think anything less than 1:1 (100k debt, 100k equity)is conservitive, and 5:1 (500k debt 100k equity) is ok as long as they are good cash flowing properties, Anything higher than 5:1 would involve cash out refi's and lending LTV greater than the norm of 20% down.Do you think worst case, and make sure you can pay loans in an economic downturn, or have so many months of cash?

Our entire financial and economic system would plummet. 

It’s coming up on the end of the year and with the uncertain economic circumstances, it’s crucial to have a firm grasp on your business’ financials.

Based on simple economics, prices won't decrease on a macro level until supply exceeds demand, and that isn't happening anytime soon.
