Tourism here is in it's infancy and has been growing steadily since the cruise ship industry arrived here.

Yeah, we left Friday afternoon and arrived back here Saturday at 9:00PM, watched the weather channel this afternoon and saw the snow, I can hardly wait.all cash

And even more so with the sub-prime crash.

While everyone talks about a housing crash across the US Raleigh has seen rising prices and did not experience a bubble prior.Head over to the rehab forum to see what is being discussed there.Side note for Jason and Andy: You will not be able to contact each other with PM until you both reach 10 posts.

If one is unsuccessful in selling Jet Fuel, does that mean that they have Crashed and Burned?

They are showing people around and collecting info.Now, a smart sales person will be able to work with the people who arrive more than just a host.

Lots of cash out of the stock market after the dot-com crash, low interest rates, and plenty of easily available mortgages started the ball rolling.

The sub-prime market is going to crash and it's much bigger than the "savings and loan" bail-out, which almost took the country down last time...John

And amazingly enough, at one time before the crash...there wasn't a big difference between some of the prime and sub-prime products.I predict money sources for sub-prime will be driven by supply and demand and will soon return to the tune of something like a 21% cap for a 2/28 or a 3/27 with a 5 or 8 year pre-pay.

I just learned that 500 Fiko ( the company that rolled out 100% financing on a 500 credit score right before the crash), recently adjusted their 100% Ltv to a 620 credit score.
