@Jesse Waters I am completely ignorant on the subject of cross colateralizations can you give me the quick and dirty so at least I'll know where to start.

I expected the number of responses to be pretty small for a variety of reasons, not least among them, that most people who have been able to hold on the last ten years aren't on BP, whether by choice or by ignorance (they aren't searching for RE information hence never finding or knowing about BP).  

I think its a very sad commentary on parents and the education system that so many people give this drivel so much credit.If I learned anything from that con man I'd be embarrassed to admit it.However, what I have learned on here is that many successful people are not ashamed - they hold up their previous ignorance as a badge of honor and wave this book like a bible.
