Real Estate Warnings for 2020
Harry Dent | November 29, 2019 | I just got to New York after two weeks in Australia, and while I'm glad to be back on American soil, I'm still a bit frazzled and jet-lagged from the long flights.

It will take longer to bottom out, and it won't be pretty at any point. I predict things will be worse than 2008.
