My current 401k is with an employer and am just doing some preliminary research.

These kinds of price hits use to shock me, but I’ve gotten used to it.

I was pretty shocked when I punched the numbers into a mortgage calculator and realized that we'd just saved more than 80,000 over the life of the loan, and also taken eight years off it.We decided to keep going and continue paying it down.

It consists of coordinating with our current network of wholesalers, bird dogs, and agents to do preliminary evaluation and qualification for buys, develop new wholesalers and bird dogs, develop alternative buys, develop in house direct buys, and package and sell in house wholesale packages to our affiliate investor group.

There are several unknowns on a purchae transaction most of the time, but we try to get as close as possible, so the borrower is not "shocked" when it gets down too the nitty gritty.

I'd be shocked if there's any lender out there that isn't adding it back......

That would be double dipping.You want to line up a title company sooner rather than later, give them the preliminary contract and ask them to prepare the HUD-1 settlement statements.

I have traded stocks on and off for years and I am shocked at how many daytraders get taken out with just a single bad trade.

Rain pan pricing does not shock me.

The shock to that group if/when interest rates move could devastate values, if they are being supported by payment buyers, unless we see a corresponding wage /real income increase.
