One strategy I particularily like involves using Land Trusts.

This is especially good in falling housing markets because you can structure the deal in a way that you can make money even if the property owner is upside down.

buy a lot of cheap options now?
that way it’s unilateral contract
if it makes sense to walk away when it tanks you can
don’t be on the hook for loans

Robert, can you elaborate your technique if you don’t mind? I am not familiar with land trust.
