A continued slight decline might also be possible.

I had one offer at $125,000 and I (foolishly :roll:) declined and didn't even counter.

I am adding to cash and not buying; last transactions are sales to hedge against declining values.

That's a 7% decline in two years.

Wouldn't you rather be holding onto cash then to reinvest into real estate that keeps declining in value?

I see them applying for a different card, closing this card, but more likely this card will consistently decline for lack of credit. 

The number of houses scheduled for any given month's sheriff sale has been declining for a number of months now - ever since the "robo-signing" fiasco broke.

I found out that you really have to just keep it business at all times with MOST tenants....LOLSome may FB but i usually just dont accept or decline so i dont seem like a jerk, =)

For the most part the US is still a declining market and at 100% on what is likely majority investment properties, the lender would have no insulation against any value deterioration in the market.Under that same concept, I would presume many victims suffer from self-inflicted wounds.

Banks who made risky investments that did not pay off had their capital decline.
