In your experience, when large companies layoff a large number of employees, does this create a window of opportunity for investors to "buy low" for real estate in the immediate area? 

Whenever layoffs happened, I usually fell in the middle.

The 2nd floor layout was not condusive for such as the layoff is a bit boxy.

In 2015, two significant things happened: first, my ex-husband went through the first of several layoffs and it became clear that I would not be receiving any support from him that year (or ever again, as it turned out).

The second wave is Job loss based on that; then people can’t pay bills; more companies are hit; more layoffs, and somewhere along the line property values drop either as a result of tenants not paying rent, foreclosures in the area, landlords panicking and accepting less money for rent, etc.

@Joseph M.The down turn will come after a major stock market crash, then layoffs, then company bankruptcies, etc. there should be a few years leading signs before housing market crash.

Not everybody needs a thousand units and 10M a year in income so the need to leverage everything as hard as possible to reinvest is simply not there and would not make sense.Again, I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying maybe lay off the absolute statements and derogatory remarks towards those that don't agree with your approach.

For example, when the jobs go down or layoff in SF in 2008, slight dip in prices but not much compared to say Las Vegas.Terry

Reminds me of the 80/20 interest only days (why was that ever considered responsible) It's because the layoffs of all the folks that have just been doing "refi to drop FHA PMI!"

Plymouth did have a major lay off in 2016 and are "restructuring".
