Will the construction boom slow, or will there be skeletons of buildings rotting in the desert and elsewhere?

I wonder if the pre-construction boom will be affected when prices flatten or turn....

Unless you include the gouging in NO during the Katrina aftermath, our oil prices are still below 'inflation adjusted' records.I think one of our biggest issues is that oil is considered a 'limited resource'. yet we continue to pour research $$ into ways to product MORE oil QUICKER. and drive down costs. when in fact, we should probably have been investing in ways of driving down demand. but with they hybrid boom, i think we are finally seeing that. hopefully it will continue even after (if) prices drop.happy Wednesday-

We are offering $150,000. with $20,000. down and owner carrying $130,000 @8% for 15 years with a balloon in 3 years.The improvements sit on 5 acres 2 blocks off a major state hwy and the town is the next stop in booming growth.

Check the tax collectors office to see where the tax bill is sent.2.

We bought 2 years ago with zero down, just waiting to get rid of that PMI... thanks to the boom, we have a good 40-50% in equity now :)just hoping to learn more about the real estate investing. we actually did rent out this home for 1 year. it was rough, but I might be willing to try again.

I am a single mother of two, I have no outside family support, am unemployed, have exhausted my unemployment insurance, work for several temporary employment agencies, few assignments, bill collectors ringing my phone off of the hook, a family to support.

I live in a booming coastal city on the east coast.

You are sitting in the heart of one of the biggest real estate booms in memory.

The interesting part is that it was 2005, and she said business was going slow..I thought that was one of the "boom" years!
