This is on top of appreciation.All the money gurus that are anti RE promote stocks and say RE returns 3% annual appreciation over time, and neglect the income side of things.Try getting a business loan for stocks and bonds.

First, realize that Keynes was not anti-free market -- he just came up with most of his ideas during the Depression, where his theories focused on how to attack high unemployment and tended to be pretty insightful.

lol telling the man to move wow I'm from Wa state we had no HOA we took care of our homes because we had pride if I were to ask any of you adults as pals if you felt you needed to be babysat and told the right thing you need to do with your property you would look at me like I'm crazy but yet that's what the HOA does this everyday we are paying ppl to tell us what we can do with our property it's insane we alow this to happen i am a disabled veteran I served my country I had to move to Arizona and because I used a va loan was pretty much forced to buy a home with the anti American HOA then I read a women in Florida whos father is a police officer was forced to removed her blue lives flag because the HOA felt it was racist now I know alot of police officers i served with them and they come in all shapes sizes and colors so yes I bought a blue lives flag and will be proudly displaying it on my home hoping the HOA tells me to remove it I am on a fixed income but I will fight for my rights in court for my freedom of speech just like I fought for my country after 9/11 look these facts up yourself I won't be coming back to do your work for ya but there are alot of cases were ppls 14th and 1st amendment are being violated everyday by HOA it's appalling ppl are even coming on here to defend them I can't help but wonder how many are members of the HOA or are such narcissist you think all your neighbors must be told what to do but I'm sure you are all perfect 

It's just sounds anti-immigrant.

The one thing to add to J Scott's list is what Mark already mentioned - the anti-flip time period and the need for second appraisal as the workaround.

@J, I may have someone that can partner and buy it short but we couldn't list it and start marketing it until after we completed the purchase and waited the 15 day holding period required by Colorado (and that's if the lender doesn't have some longer anti-flip holding period addendum).

But worse than that I've run across one in particular who is very very anti flipper and always seems to come in with a bunch of ridiculous and expensive repairs that have to be done before she'll approve the value.I know any FHA appraisal will stick with the house for six months so even if another buyer is found with another lender the new lender must use the original appraisal.

LOL, an anti-believer spured by the corporate contaminators, they also say the ocean isn't rising, but Cali and Florida beaches are being lost daily.

I am stunned that people are so anti home ownership here.

We have always been really careful to uphold an anti discriminatory policy with all applicants.
