They worked in real estate until the housing market crashed, and they’ve been paying the bills by flipping houses ever since.Business has been going well, with Tarek reporting last year that he had taken on three new employees and expanded his operation into neighboring states.

I've done buy and sell, rehabs, lease options before the market crash.

We did some successful flips a few years ago -- got out right before the crash -- but are thinking about a buy and hold strategy as a way to retire out of a demanding career.

What if you were able to save another 80k before the market crashes?

Now I have no mortgage and a line of credit on my home that I can use for other investments.I couldn't have predicted all this when I made my initial "investment" in the house; a lot of this scenario played out because of the housing crash.

How rad would it be if the app didn’t crash every time you tried to tag someone?

I didn't rehab it or anything just bought it at the right time and then the mortgage dropped dramatically when the market crashed.

This world is completely foreign to the world they (banks) formerly operated in leading up to the crash.

So if it breaks, hopefully pieces don't come crashing down on you.Example

For the most part, we've done really good over the years, but when the market crashed, we were hit really hard.
