It was a slate roof , candles would melt in the summer , we did have a window unit , but only turned it on at night after the fan ran in the other window .    

@George Gammon  nice post I would add that another issue that created the melt down was the amount of spec lending that was being done... you had Builders that could get 20 to 50 spec loans with no cash out of pocket.. 

Those deemed not in proper condition to be actively fit or socially inequitable due to unjust enrichment from consuming more calories than disadvantaged, oppressed, third world applicants have access to will not be considered"I think that will work well

I am from Canada and we do things a little bit different on our igloos up here but typically when I get the ice patch done come spring melt I trade a few really good fish that I get from the Inuits to our local builder!

I would call on a potential customer abut once a month. give them a year before I would move on. that is 12 calls, I would get a chance to know them. give them a chance to know me and  usually with my "Charm and Swagger"  LOL they would eventually melt. 

now that the honey moon period is over  IE post GFC  08 to 2011 melt down and RE has start to balance out.. back to what was in my day a normal market  IE deals had to be gotten not just plucked off the treeswhat are you doing to adjust to the new times...

In my area 1000 yellow letters per month would melt your phone. 

@Roy @Roy MitleIf you have been investing or involved in real estate before and after the melt down that the economy suffered, then you know banks can change.  

It's a really good way for me to burn calories and keep lean (I typically don't eat anything while working on a property - maybe a small snack during the day - and so that helps also with being healthy). 

As a RE investor I have no problem with inflation, I actually welcome it as real estate prices appreciate, rents go up and my debt melts away.
