The good news that there is really something for everyone in real estate.

I'm reading this thread while listening to the news channel is running in the background talking about Trump and his lawyers.

No news. 

That's why I'll enjoy looking back at this post in the next downturn when this hits the news. 

hi @Jim Pellerini believe it is alive and well, no reason to think otherwise, especially regarding lending and qualified mortgages using RMLOsthe news is about small and medium bank regs

It seems to also have the small town feel and some good development happing up there as well: http://www.burlingtoncountytimes.com/news/20171228...

I went through this process when I decided where to retire.At a high level, I used financial media, Wikipedia, and local news (many TV stations stream their local news broadcasts) to select a state and city.At the neighborhood level, I used CrimeReports to get a feel for crime and real estate listings to get a feel for the type of housing in the zip code.Then it's boots on the ground to home in on a specific choice.

When this happens it makes sense, but this is not the norm.this is old news but I think read an article I forbes about the FLA tax liens and that insurance companies etc were happy with 5% so they bid everything down.. and placed large blocks of what they felt was secure money at better than CD rates.. ?? 

Instead most are guppies that follow whatever the news media tells them to do.
