Even direct investors of real estate that purchased in 2006 experienced (or are still experiencing) a lot of pain as a result of the greatest real estate collapse since the great depression.I suppose that one could opine that the TIC sponsorship was bad, that TICs are inherently risky, the timing was bad, you got burned by the market, etc. 

I am already familiar with the concept of quit claiming your property to the LLC once it is financed and purchased for liablility and tax reasons, but I am finding lately that since the collapse of sub prime it is becoming really difficult to find lending institutions that will lend to an LLC unless it is extremely well seasoned with good D & B ratings, etc.I am wondering if there is anyone out there who is currently financing properties in the name of their LLC without a personal guarantee and, if so, if you can share what instituions you are working with (especially recently) and the details of how long you have been in business as the LLC, how you built your business credit, etc.Thanks in advance for any insight into this.Tamara

The market collapsed shortly after that and my tenants one by one stopped paying.

I don't understand why the oil producers didn't learn the lesson of overproduction from that collapse.

I am fearful when everyone are hyped up and I eagerly await that collapse and will buy when everyone are fearful.

You will see in my profile that this venture ended in foreclosure and total financial collapse. 

A lot of smart, rich, connected people were buying farm land in the US after the 2008 Economic Collapse.

I am a licensed Real Estate professional and saw this same scenario taking place in 2008 when the real estate market collapsed. 

Now is NOT the time to buy property at retail, the entire global market is hitting another peak, the US in particular is heading straight for another collapse of another bubble.

@Matt Millard It's a positive for us until the music stops and whole system collapses.
