Ramsey, I believe that the downturn in RE is a when not on If, and even if your hanging on scenario is correct it would still be foolish to start investement in this enviroment. In the early 90's I made my first fortune buying properties from the FDIC and Citicorp. Do I think things get that bad again, no. However I do believe that the cycle is at the top and if you want to time the market youll have to wait till it really cracks, which could take 1-3 years. I have already put together a Hedge fund to buy distressed properties, and its sitting on a shelf for when the market does break. my guess isthe cracks will be more apparent by winter, but people will hang on as long as they can.
