Housing starts are up.

I think it's a little early to claim that housing starts are truly up.

ps - Don't fall for the buyer agent garbage. Get your own listings. Where do you think those buyer leads come from?

If you can't learn to get a listing now, you NEVER will.

We start at 50% and provide tons of training and leads.

I've never heard of 40%. Either the company rocks or completely sucks. There is no in between on that one.

Time cures all pricing problems. Just be patient. Your only risk is that a greater fool jumps in line in front of you and over-pays for the property.

Your point makes perfect sense. The grim reality of the situation is that we have created a debtor nation which eliminates true home ownership from the vast majority of Americans.

Mortgages used to be 3 years...then 5 years...then 10....you know the rest.

speaking of Acorn, this will make you swell with American pride:

I don't have any opinion about NR so I wouldn't care if you hid it or note.

However, I wouldn't label something that makes me "feel sleazy" (your words, not mine) , as "my education".

If it were me, I might include it in an "about me" section as a very small point of note. However, in my humble opinion, it now looks to me as if you are sponsoring/affiliating with NR.

That's all I was trying to say.

-They check me out and find out I went to NR and discredit me. (that hasn't happened... but if it did you get my point..what's a true, honest, hardworking NR student to do?)

They find out because you direct link to it on your blog under "my education".

Way to keep real estate investing real.

I find pictures particularly useful. Some say they are a waste, but I have found them very useful during the final negotiation stage.

Well said NC Mark....like it's really hard to make fun of Cramer now.

While we're at it let's get our rocks off picking on Ed Mcmahon's cash for gold and and the guy who peddles the "sham wow". Anyone who placed Cramer above either of those guys is a fool anyway. Any attempt to discredit him is completely unnecessary and should only be viewed as self-serving.

They are all easy targets and it's a shame that Stewart is becoming the "voice" of opposition to American greed.

I used to think Stewart was funny as hell. Now I think he is a completely useless, fraudulent, pandering piece of garbage.

We are truly f___ed if we need Jon Stewart as the face of moral hazard in our country. Let's see him pull that garbage with a liberal leader. Oh wait, he won't because that's his pathetic power base. This holier than thou crap is going to bite him is the *** and I can't wait to watch it.
