I agree. (I still bought guns and ammunition though!)
I heard about this economic forecast initially a year ago and have only heard the concern more frequently now. Regardless of what is going to happen, I'm ok with leaving it in God's control.
To your point, this prediction creates a high sense of urgency for me to get in the game and start turning properties. It's been a huge motivator for me starting out.

J Scott and Albert Hasson My question is, if you knew that this was going to occur without a doubt, then how would your strategy change in preparation?
(Buying and holding properties with a 70-80% refi wouldn't be recommended if there was a huge economic fall out I'm sure.)

The Fed is getting ready to taper because they like where the health of the overall economy is going, particularly with the employment data.
So the way I look at it is this. While rates are increasing, that implies that the job market is strengthening, so rates may be higher, but if there are MORE people WITH JOBS in the economy, that will provide continued supply for the real estate market.
Hard to get a loan at ANY rate if you are unemployed - ya know?
I posted a link earlier on Page two of this forum post about the predictions of the economy bombing up to 90% of the US stock value.
Then I spoke with a landlord of (18) properties who said she wants to sell (5) of her houses because she doesn't like the way the government is spending and she thinks the worst is yet to come.
THEN I talked to my Dad today and he says that among many of the successful business people he follows... they are saying that the next recession could be worst that the 'Great Depression'...
I should probably make a new forum post for this one, but do any of you feel this could very well take place? If so, what preparations should be made? (Definitely should make this into a new post...)

Welcome!
Ciprian L. LA vs Indianapolis sounds like you're stepping from the corn lands into Hollywood. I would imagine things are totally different out there!
Who do you use in Indy for your turnkey properties?

Ben Hughes Is there a point where you think it will prevent you from making money? Or when would it start to become a concern for properties you already own?

Threatens Boom? I wonder if this might actually increase sales activity.
This has been my thinking too. I imagine that some first time home buyers will be thinking "Last chance to buy a house before rates go up and you are locked out forever"

Robert Steele and Ned Carey if we've stepped into a seller's market then would now be a good time to invest in land and sell to builders? Or even build your own houses?

Start looking for solutions to your challenges. I lost use of my left hand three years ago after a stroke so I type this one-handed. Don't ask me about my eyesight or energy level. No more excuses!
Can I get an Amen!
Talk about a 'SNAP OUT OF IT' response! I just wrote on somebody else's forum post this morning saying that they just need to continue taking steps forward and not worry whether or not a strategy will work ha
Rick Harmon, I think you and I are going to have a solid friendship.
I'm really sorry to hear about the stroke. Though you lost the use of your left hand, you've gained a powerful tool in motivating others.
I appreciate you sir.

That's perfect Rick Harmon.
I did notice that there were different forms filed in the folders. Is there a particular Form Title (like the living testament) I should skim through to discover if there is property listed?
I feel like I could spend hours looking through three folders....
Here is an unfortunate circumstance for Day Two: I work full time and won't be able to spend more than 30m there. Am I able to walk into or out of a hearing while it's active?
