So you bring up a point of something that I have thought about. If one had enough spare money, either outright cash or enough to pick up another mortgage, at what point would one want to pick up a house real cheap due to a collapse of the housing market? Kinda like "buy low" part of the "buy low, sell high".
You seem to think 2020 is the right time to do this. Is that a SWAG or do you have a good idea of why 14 years from now is the right time.
