I was only talking about your average real estate agent that only feeds into the hype (real or not) of markets being super hot (some are and some are not) and need to go in guns a blazing regardless of what the actual numbers say.I actually think we are pretty much aligned with our actual thoughts about all this.  

Brokerages running mills know this so do the (rah,rah,rah) pep talk and your potential is unlimited to hype them up to close those few sales before petering out.

I bought some properties from people listed and they are mostly trouble especially Memphis for all they hype it to be.

Stay away from the no money down. tons of hype books.

While I do think that foreclosures will increase again sometime in the no-to-distant future, I think this piece was presented in an over-hyped manner.

Some areas of Columbia seem to have promise (columbia is an hour from me), Greenville has some hype, and so does Charlotte, NC (both are a couple hours away.)

I thought there's no way it could live up to the hype because everyone talks about it, but it will change the way you look at finances.

Don’t believe the hype.

Don't buy into the hype of no-money-down peddled by get-rich-quick gurus.2.

As a participant in this site for many years I can assure you it's all that the hype says it is.
