What i mean to say is. Most people dont have the safety net of say 1 or 2 years of personal expenses in the event of a major crisis in their lives. What more with the burden of 2 to 3 properties.
If u have 1 or 2 years of negative cashflow of 4 to 8k per month out of the next 30 years, ur property portfolio will be worth almost nothing. Unless u r earning 6 figures a year. Especially if this happens when the market is slow and it gets auctioned off significantly below what u paid for it. Maybe u will have some capital gains, but that will not cover the interest u paid.
U just need 1 or 2 bad years out of 30, and ur portfolio can turn to dust. Overleveraging is a real problem. I do believe that in the past these 30 year loans didnt exist.
A 1984 crisis, or a 1998 asian financial crisis, where the economy really suffered. That will be interesting to see what happens to the property market.
1998 financial crisis... my dad just a normal salary worker with 3 properties... he didnt go bankrupt nor my family have the need to cut off alot of expenses though... the other 2 are renting out... and the tenant remain the same until the day he sold his investment properties even after financial crisis...

in the past there are no 30 years loans... but they are in a higher interest rate than now though... and you cant assume everyone in negative cash flow for 4 to 8k... rental market is still there... and rental still able to cover more than half of their installment...
those that really overleveraging u will see them in lelong market... but how many lelong units are there compared to the total units offered in the market now...
