Are you people saying that gay men sometimes marry straight women? Get out of here.

Right because married guys never turn out to be gay

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.

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.

If you're married you're not gay. What's not clear about that?

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.

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

If it's Katie Holmes, I want to examine the documentation.

why is it every time idiot Liberals want to appear to be something other than insane communists they start acting like this ridiculous cowboy character?

'a feller by the name Burrito' ... idiot, go back to the gay bath house faggot.

I'm confused. What's a faggot? A cigarette? And why does he need a bath?

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.

If rent drop only 5% - 50% of demand will disappear.

Actually, I was more interested in examining Nicole Kidman :-) !

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.

Speaking of Kate Beckinsale...

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 :-) !

funny vid.

unshaven clown!! hahahaha

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.

Seems like irrational exuberance 2.0 is starting a bit early.

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:

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.

Yup says

Refinance them all, pull out all that equity and buy 20 more.....

I F'ing dare you!

That would not be a wise move now. At least the 1st half of your suggestion is correct. Refinance them all and put that money under the pillows. The RE ship has left the dock. There is no reason to throw more money into the RE market now unless it's a screaming deal, and it can still produce a positive cashflow. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with sitting on cash and collect 0.25% interest rate annually.

Here in Phoenix, the mini boom is already over. It isn't stopping the flippers from buying and attempting to rent or sell. I live in a high demand neighborhood where the "for rent" signs are lingering along with the "for sale" signs. Yet "investors" continue to buy and refurbish, some spending lots of money. Let's face it, really savvy people with money don't put it in residential housing. It lacks one of the basic requirements of a good investment.....liquidity.

Those arguing about Phoenix may want to do a little research on Chandler and Gilbert, AZ. These areas have had large increases in list and sale prices from Spring until now. Both cities have made CNN Money Magazines lists of Top 100 places to move @ #50 and #33. Google it!

These areas are low crime with low unemployment and excellent schools and colleges. I know several Californians relocating for those reasons. The area has long been desirable to Canadians and Midwesterners looking to escape cold Winters.

I'm talking about traditional sales, not short sales, REO's that are receiving multiple offers and their prices are being bid up with multiple offers. Most traditional buyers don't want to risk buying a bank owned home with possible defects. Short sales take several months to close and with prices soaring why would a bank settle when they can sell it for more money in a few months?

excellent schools and colleges

Excellent colleges? Really?
