Just a small hill compared to the TRILLIONS of dollars of mortgage debt that has pushed the housing bubble to its current absurd heights.

Didn't the brokers automatically sell you off if your equity went below a certain amount? With investment homes, you have no such "protection".

margin debt amounted to only several hundred billion at the peak, maybe $280 billion if memory serves. there was a lot more debt in the telecom sector, though, which floated off to money heaven. that was probably half a trillion or a trillion or something.
still, nothing compared to the $5-10 trillion that will go to money heaven when the RE bubble pops.
