Has it EVER been this bad or is it due to the rise of the internet, youtube, and the general economy? 

I think the overall economy in Tampa will continue to do well in the future as people continue to move to Florida but I can't find deals like I did a few years ago.  

We have owned a 4 unit in Phoenix since 2006 which overall has worked out but has not always been a smooth ride with the economy.  

I have been filled with anxiety for the past three days and it is emotionally exhausting.  

It's *much* better with a slightly larger portfolio since I get economies of scale when it comes to process ...

What if I'm in the middle of 8 flips and the economy tanks?

HiI have been investigating what a secure cashflow to leave untouched for avoiding bankruptcy and economy variations.What would be the point you start asking for loans for new assests?

I am thinking if the economy tanks, 1 beds will be much harder to rent since people might join up with roomates in 2 beds. 

Do not let the economy get you into something that is not average for the neighberhood.  

@Conrad Metzenberg,It's important to remember that the times we are in now are NOTHING like the run up to the crash.Before the crash, easy money increased the housing demand inflating values artificially.After the crash, two factors changed radically:First, money stopped flowing through the economy.
