It will be interesting to see what happens after the election and how real estate responds.
I'll tell you right now. Inventory will remain low for the 1st half of the year. My guess or shall I say my hope is that we will see more inventory in the second half of next year. I will have more insight about this early next year because I sleep in front of the courthouse steps. A spike in foreclosures means more inventory will hit the market in the next 4-8 months.

Ok, so if a man is married and has documented sex with his wife, then he's still potentially gay? I don't know about you but that's really a lame gaydar, if I've ever seen one. Perhaps Tarot cards or a Ouija board may get you better answers.
There have been all sorts of stories from The South where guys have wives and secretly have gay lovers. A bunch of "family values" type Republican senators got caught doing exactly that a few years ago, remember? Generally, the more anti-gay someone is, the more I have to assume that they are actually gay.
Right because married guys never turn out to be gay
If you're married you're not gay. What's not clear about that?

Documented sex? Are there films of Tom Cruise having sex with one of his wives? That's a serious player man.

LOL! It's clear enough, but totally false. First of all, gay couples get married, i.e. same sex marriage. Second, closeted persons get married, usually to someone of the opposite sex. Larry Craig is married, for example.

The pressure to belong and assimilate in some circumstances is so immense that people will repress themselves and turn themselves inside out so as not to alienate their support group. It's pretty sad, but I have seen it. There are gay men I know that have had more pussy than I have, and my headboard is held together with notches. (I'm working on fixing that, but an arthritic hip is not helping.)
I also know for some men it isn't entirely about orientation -- I've known some so-called libertines who refuse to adhere to any convention when it comes to anything, including sex.
So there you go.
Are you people saying that gay men sometimes marry straight women? Get out of here.

Gays leading the appearence of straight lives is so common the gays have a word for it, "beard." "Katie is Tom's beard."
The federal reserve is forcing us to buy up the RE.
CD pays 1%
STOCKS=scary
BONDS=pay crap/scary
This leaves real estate.
Unlike the entire above, fools do not realise that you do not live in a CD, you do not live in a bond, and you do not live in stocks.
But THAT is what they want you to believe ...subconsciously that you DO.
Do yourself a favour and get out of the spin cycle, then you may find you have started to build real wealth.

Investment RE is a different beast. It requires a lot more work than sitting online and issuing buy/sell.
Everyone is different. To most average folks investing in RE is buying and renting it out. That's not really an RE investment. Real RE investment takes millions which I don't have and makes good returns, and I'm sure no one on this board participates in that either.
Robert buys rentals, E-man same thing, some fella who likes to go by the name burritos does the same. They aren't investing, they are just playing with some low end RE. Now if enough of us can pull our money together for a real investment, that could be something.

When everyone is talking about it, that means it's almost over
I agree. When everybody talks about it, something is fishy. Something going to be lifted out of fundamentals again. Somebody is going to lose Money or Mind.
1987- Real estate double every year
2000- Everybody was giving stocks advice
2006 – Real estate is going up to the roof, buy now
A year ago- gold, gold, gold
Hell, 3 mo. ago FB was the best investment, everybody were talk about it (18.25 today)

Ok, I got that but that doesn't make for a Gaydar, i.e. "Oh look ... that good looking, in-shape guy is with a woman. He must be gay."
Otherwise, you'll then have an inverse stereotype for a married hetero man being fat, balding, and ill who's stuck with a nagging wife. "Oh look ... he's fat & ugly, gotta be straight!"

Massachusetts is a lot easier; we have the South End of Boston and Provincetown MA for open homosexuals and Northampton MA, for lesbians. But in all honesty, I don't think the South End is safe to live in anymore. Provincetown, however, is a gorgeous seaside peninsular region. If it were a straight destination, I might even consider moving there for the grand ocean vistas.

Only if it was old documentation from the early 1990s. She's over 30 now, ewwww. Actually, she's over 40 now, double ewwww.

Dan, Nicole Kidman may be a vampire. She looks pretty good for a 40+ woman.

You're thinking of Kate Beckinsale, the only woman almost 40 who still looks good, and who plays a vampire in Underworld.

Don't forget Raquel Welch, now in her 70s, and clearly looks like she's in that mid-40s category, talk about the eternal cougar :-) !

i can see this election coming down to abortion. its the only issue simple enough to get the dumb ass 'swing voters' to actually express an opinion.
I bought a house and have healthy retirement and cash savings. I work and I save. Somehow that seems to work out just fine and dandy for me. If anyone else has some sort of conspiracy-filled, whatever investment ideas.... go for it. Hope it works out for you.

Very funny, and I thought you didn't have a sense of humor although they're kind of dry. It must be from the Arizona's sunshine. :)

I bought a home... then another and another... 13 total so far, 2 more under contract short sales... I remodelled and rented them all out...
then, the bottom end of Phoenix caught fire, and prices for these homes went up 30% and more...
Bullshit.
"Ok, so if a man is married and has documented sex with his wife, then he's still potentially gay?"
No, he's potentially bisexual. There's gay, straight, and bisexual. Bisexual should not be categorized as either gay or straight as it is both. Here's Kinsey's scale on that topic:
Bisexual should not be categorized as either gay or straight as it is both.
It's pretty gay.

Hence, when the MORONS start jumping headlong into the RE market, the SMART money jumps OUT.
Would you say morons jumped in during the bubble because of people like Carlton Sheets? Would that be an indicator? There's some little weasel on TV now (forget his name) but in general I don't see too many Real Estate for Dummies programs out there right now.

You could not find a better investment between mid 2010 through the end of 2011 than low end real estate. Relatively low prices, record low interest rates, and the fact that the mainstream had not yet been fully let in on the secret. For the smart ones (or lucky ones for that matter) that got in during that time, congrats on the move.
Fast forward to 2012, inventory has reached inexplicably low volumes, prices have surged, and the secret about real estate investment is out.
Case and point... I sit at the family table at dinner, and the topic is real estate investment. I go to lunch with co-workers, and the topic is how to become a slum-lord. I go bowling with some friends, and everyone is talking about buying up low end real estate to rent out. I cannot believe what I am experiencing. It's like everyone with a stable job is all of a sudden a real estate investor. It's not just for the upper class anymore. My secretary bought a damn rental property this year in the Bay Area for gawd's sake!
It will be interesting to see what happens after the election and how real estate responds.
Don't get me wrong, with the rental market also surging, real estate is still a good investment today, but it was a great investment 12-24 months ago.
Waiting patiently...
