David Zheng Downturn Scares? Preparation?
15 October 2018 | 61 replies
So correct me if I'm wrong but what does anyone have to be scared of if the following conditions apply in a meltdown1. youre locked into a 30 year conventional or 7 year commercial loan and the banks cannot re-appraise or call in full your loan as long as mortgages are being paid  per the closing docs2. your rents can take 25-35% cut and still break even on all mortages, taxes, and insurance3. you live in a populated and buzzing area where demand has always been heavy and unless a bomb dropped on it (yay insurance) you shouldn't have trouble finding renters4. downturn --> people lose jobs and homes or try to downsize and  turn to renting  (good thing). 5. have solid tenants that have older co-signers (parents, guardians)Am I missing something that the banks can still do to me even if I'm paying my debts on time?
