I was a bit tentative about being a landlord until I bought 5 properties and actually did it.
I'm still cowering in the corner clutching my HELOC. Are there any resources you'd recommend (besides, ya know, having inhouse counsel)?

how many here (if any) feel that a certain percentage of housing could go to zero? meaning either the home can not be sold for legal(aka MERS) reasons or that when financial markets freeze, there will be no money/credit available to lend so a home would be 'worthless' as a financial product.
i would hazard a guess that at least 20% and maybe closer to 40% of R.E. could have such severe MERS issues that it would be unsellable. if we have a major financial melt down i think the numbers could be 50-65% of homes that would be unsellable due to lack of funding.....
right now the federal government is financing 100% of the costs of gov with QE. when QE stops, R.E. loans stop as 98% of the securitization market is now freddie and fannie.....housing goes to zero.
...remember we bulldozed homes, shot cattle and burned crops in the 30's......but this time is different?
