I honestly think this is the type of behaviour that leads to the "pigs get slaughtered mentality". I'm sitting on the sidelines right now just waiting for an opportunity to buy up a few rental units (likely 6-12 months from now).Originally posted by Buster
Cool. Not advising for or against anything. But a rental property is by definition highly levered, il-liquid and un-diversified (just like any RE).
In many ways it's swimming with the sharks. So keep your head up, and like any investment, be prepared to liquidate and walk away from a loss if you think the trade is moving against you.
RE is much like any other investment - people who try to time "the bottom" usually miss, and selling in a panic is one of the worst possible things you could do.
