Even after the market crash, housing prices in the city tend to be prohibitively expensive while rents are low.

I just today had safari crash twice loading a BP page with my iphone, and I can't recall that happening before the "mobile friendly" change(s).And I posted something in a topic using my iPhone (I swear, and my avatar shows up alongside that thread too), but I could not see the post after I made it.

Eviction would be an unpleasant process (I have done it before, although only once due to good screening).

the car industry followed suit as well. that's why you still see zero %the other main reason is I had a bunch of Saudi clients and they could not pay interest for religious reasons so I structured 0% deals for them as well.Then in the crash when I ended up owning about 200 homes in the mid west how do you think I sold my OREO.. well to guys just like you who had figured it out..

My houses (market) just last year or so got back to pre crash prices. 

This even though Calgary has been through 2 oil price crashes and 2 recessions in the last 10 years. 1 SFR I bought for around $335k in 2010, sold for $462k in 2015, all the while barely making anything in rents.

I have no one in my family or close circle of friends that do a lot of real estate investing, and with the 2008 financial market crash still on everyone's mind when you mention real estate, everyone I talk to is more skeptical than excited, unfortunately.

Ever since I watched "The Big Short" I've been intrigued by the 2007-2008 real estate market crash...and while I know that the crash was caused by loose lending standards combined with ARMs, uninformed borrowers, limited to zero due diligence, mortgage backed securities/CDOs and Wall Street I have yet to wrap my head around one thing.

Been a while since I've been on, but I'm looking to get active once more.Situation: My significant other bought her house in San Diego in 2006 and survived the 2008 crash by refinancing with an ARM that had an amazing rate.

However, we are not up to levels we were at before the big "crash" so there still is potential for capital appreciation.
