I think the worst that could happen to us as investors is this “bond bubble” I keep hearing about, which would make it difficult to get financing, which now that I think about it - would probably have a giant impact on housing prices.

So the question becomes, “If you don’t have the cojones to invest in the best real estate market in US history, what makes you believe you will have the giant huevos needed to invest when there’s blood in the streets?”

In the middle of a giant rehab (for me) on one of my complexes.  

@Joe Carter to be completely honest, this is a giant mess.

If the the giant corporate credit bubble comes unglued, fed trillions are in theory just replacing lost money (fighting deflation).How much wealth just evaporated in stock market...down 30%?

Giant rip off.

Just because it's way down, doesn't make it a better investment to you than if it was up.If someone had a property that you described as "a giant turd, with tenants" and "I wouldn't buy that property if it was $?????

Like a giant cork screw.

@Jay Hinrichs it’s usually 1200$ plus, 3-4 giant Folgers coffee cans .

It's not the nicest of areas and unless you have some reason to want to move there eventually, I am not sure I see the point in owning half of a duplex in a giant complex in a not so amazing part of Worcester....but that's just me.
