This may create the last crash appear as if a picnic.

Could we be heading toward another housing market crash like the all-too-memorable one that occurred in 2008?

For maybe the entire fiscal year and then another crash.

It's there, it's real, the numbers on the screen can crash and it's still there.

We were able to build that much equity because we live in a very strong market and we purchased before the market recovered from the crash, but just an example of how we survived pulling from our retirement unscathed 🙂

while the decision is dependent on location and individual preferences , the national level trend is clearly tilted towards "Homes & houses" compared to hotels.. post covid world you are looking at more and more bubble groups renting out houses to share costs... even with a higher nightly rate ..large houses with plenty of living space seem to be winning over more and more families.. a hotel may be good for crash pad scenarios however when you are considering getaways .. more and more will eventually be attracted towards houses instead of isolated hotel rooms. 

I am only 23 so I wasn't able to snatch up property during the last crash, but I have been saving money like crazy and have been thinking the only way for me to be able to do this is to put my whole savings in some crazy investments that would somehow magically give me a 1000% return. 

Good PMs are hard to come by.A 180k house in the boom that dropped to about 60k in the crash is about 100k now a days.   

do we have a house of cards about to come crashing down?  

This scares me a little as I worry if the market crashes when a flipper or builder is only half done a project, they walk, and I'm left with a half done project.
