How to survive the next crash?

[Michael Szypulinski]

Hello, I’m New to BiggerPockets community. I have an interest in getting involved with real estate investing in the near future, specifically rental properties. I was wondering if anybody knows of any good strategies to survive another market crash? I know this may be a general question but any specifics would help. For example, how much cash flow would a property need. Worst case scenario, how low would rent get? -50%? -60%? How much down payment would be required? 30 yr or 15yr loan? Recommending to sell before a crash or riding it out? Etc. Any examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Sz.
