My point, that I was hoping to make much more succinctly, that while it's lamentable so many people fell into this trap, it's really fortunate that the news is finally coming out. 

And in many cases getting an accurate forecast is very difficult or even impossible to do.The good news is that you are actually thinking about this. 

Sorry there isn't better news.

that's old news.... when the market swings back to a buyers market that may be true but in a sellers market.. not true.. and you need a new capital partner if they wont give you POF..

Which is great news for the valley.

It feels like stealing...https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-31/bankrupt-philadelphia-plunders-its-property-owners-cash

I knew the markets well, partnered with someone and started growing a portfolio.But with the recent concerns surrounding the state expropriating property without compensation (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-45026931), it raises a few concerns over property rights in the country.

Use controversy as a way to get that news clip shown on all of the news channels.

Congratulations @Bud Evans that is great news!
