Real Estate and Economy

Posted by B on November 06, 2003 at 5:34 AM

New to R/E, but what are the worst case scenarios for Real Estate investing? Mind you, I'm pretty young so I've only seen things go up and only the stock market going down...

My Assumptions:

1. Interest Rates go up, home resales go down. Property values then decrease. What would be the typical downfall in property values? I know this is a regional issue but important none the less.

2. Real Estate Bubble bursts regionally....layoffs, unemployment and increased defaults. Do you buy properties and offer them for rent instead of resale? Figuring that more renters will be back after defaulting on their homes? OR has interest rates gone down so much that rent vs. mortgage has become a moot issue?
