Hello BPers!
Can anyone recommend a book that discusses the crash of 07 and the mechanics of how it affected real estate? I am also interested in finding a book that discusses strategies in how to succeed in a down market. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

"The Big Short" book was helpful and the movie was decent. Check those out.
If you're buying and holding a Down Market may be your best friend. A down market also would drive renters to you in theory.

Thanks Aaron! Yeah I have seen that movie in the past and thought it was great. I was just looking for a book that got more into the weeds. I am still looking currently.
