I survived the real estate crash easily, because all my loans with 30 year fixed loans and a leverage amount of 10% down was sufficient enough to allow for rent to cover the service of the 90% dept on the property. This is very different than speculative investing where you are counting on real estate prices to go it. Sure, I'd like prices to go up, but I'm perfectly happy having a renter pay my mortgage for 30 years as well.
