Can we please get back to discussing the housing market? Many of the regular bloggers here are really getting turned off by the ugly tone of recent discussions --myself included. In any case, race is not really directly relevant to asset bubbles anyway. Wage arbitrage and border policy have some economic relevance to be sure, but the last time I checked, irrational exuberance had no color.

Let's try harder to keep it civil people.
Thanks, HARM

skibum,

It turns out, she has a lot more earning potential (attorney) than I do (MD), so if anything, I should quit and stay at home…

I'm biased, but if you do decide to stay home, at least a while, you won't ever regret it. Myself, I found no real resistance blending in with other neighborhood at home moms. We all took the kids to the park together, and they actually seemed to appreciate having a guy around in the group.

PS,

Understood! Just for the record though most guys don't take rejection all that well. I got to the same point you did, someone would actually say YES and I would just keep selling until I realized I'd better shut up and take their business. Funny world, ain't it? I have to agree, the very thing that attracted me to the lease option arena was the fact that most of the faint of heart would simply say it's not worth the trouble. "I'll just go ahead and buy the damn thing!" Perhaps that is what should have been said, this is not for the faint of heart.
