Publisher's summary

The 2008 Great Recession was a time of economic turmoil and disruption. After the crash, many real estate investors lost everything they’d worked so hard to achieve - but not every investor suffered that fate. Even during the worst parts of the downturn, some real estate professionals were able to grow and scale their businesses. Not only did they come out the other side unscathed, but they also created a better financial situation than ever before.

In Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing, accomplished investor J Scott dives into the theory of economic cycles and the real-world strategies for harnessing them to your advantage. With a glossary of terms, articulate visuals, and clear instructions for every type of investor, this easy-to-follow guide will show you how to make money during all of the market’s twists and turns.

In this audiobook, you will learn:

  • The basics behind how our economy works and how to make it work for you
  • The four major phases of the economic cycle: Expansion, Peak, Recession, Recovery
  • How to know when economic shifts are likely to occur and strategies to withstand those impending changes
  • The positive and negative impacts the economic cycle has on real estate investing and businesses
  • Strategies to continue to profit and grow your business during every point in the economic cycle
  • Multiple strategies to modify your investing tactics - not only to survive economic downturn, but to also thrive!

Prepare yourself to take any recession in stride! After listening to this audiobook, you will never be intimidated by a market shift - and you’ll never look at your real estate business the same way again.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

GREAT BOOK. Post Covid Update by Authors?

Great book but interested to hear authors insight post COVID. I do believe most of the books information can be applied to current environment, but I'd love to hear their input, though it may be too early to provide most impactful analytical data at this point.
