In this segment, Jason Hartman warns investors about the dangers of buying property in cyclical, high‑price markets where past appreciation can abruptly reverse, leading to foreclosures or forced sales at a loss. He contrasts this with "linear" markets—more affordable areas where the rent‑to‑value ratio is higher—arguing that such markets support sustainable cash flow and protect against large losses. Hartman recommends focusing on sustainable investing by targeting linear markets with strong rent‑to‑value dynamics.

Chapters

That's why people that invest in cyclical markets, it's like boom, bus town. Most of the horror stories you hear about real estate are like, I bought a property in LA and I expected, since there had been so much past appreciation, I expected it to continue. And then guess what? It didn't continue. So I went bust and I lost my property for foreclosure. Right? You'll hear stories like that. Or I had to take a big loss and sell it because they couldn't sustain it. I recommend you engage in sustainable investing, and the linear markets will allow you to sustain the property, because it's not going to be an expensive property. And the ratio of rent to the value of the property will be much better in those markets. And that's why it's more sustainable. Okay.
