I guess the concern is what happens if your stock portfolio crashes(and how you hedge your portfolio).

Sometime between 2016-2020 a big crash is coming, for both real estate, and stocks.

I started buying lots of houses in 2008, 2009, 2010 after the massive crash.

I don't want to learn from a young punk who wasn't even around for the last market crash. 

What about a down-on-his-luck 40-year old school teacher that had started getting into real estate before the 2008 crash when everything went south and his properties lost most of their value and as a result has a foreclosure and a bankruptcy on his records in the past couple years... would you lend him $250K?

This time around, I put either 30-40 percent down to lower that risk be able to reduce rents or other strategies in order to survive a potential real estate crash of values in the future.

If you had a Brokerage account invested in the S&P or Stocks in the DOT.com Crash you would have lost %50, which is where I got out of Stocks after making doubles in lots of my Stocks.

I only know one total washout - she's in her final course of chemo, though, and she may still bounce back - we'll see.One of our greatest success stories is a carpenter who was hit hard by the crash, out of work for four years, on the verge of losing his own home, acquired his first property - a REO mold farm in the subdivision across the creek from my ex's nephew's house.

People have been predicting a crash for three years.

I've been trying to refinance and nobody will touch it because of my BK back in 2010 because of the crash.
