Many believe that apartment building investments are "recession proof"...I have also heard Dallas, TX is recession proof....but....it is just an opinion and should be treated as so..... Sorry for the delay,…..

We last saw this back in the eighties...Of course...this will not be the norm (so...no...there are not a lot of deals today at 60% or less...but there will be)....this is why I call it "vulture tactics" where the seller motivation is extreme and the need to sell is overbearing.

It might help us to figure out if the investment will be worthy or not. Developing an Investment Criteria would be a good move before making an investment.

I understand the idea of buying assets below their value, but 60% seems a bit unrealistic to me...isn't there a danger of missing a lot of great deals at 70%? Perhaps I'm interpreting it wrong, or perhaps there's a lot of deals at 60% :-)Thanks!
