One exception in my area is that the trash collection includes 1 garbage cart and 1 recycling cart.

Biggest interest is sustainable homes and energy saving so Im hoping to get into building some homes from recycled containers and also investigating subterranean homes as this will deal with my hillside lots.Hope to hear from people with similar interests.

That being said , having an idea of where you are in the RE cycle can prove to be very valuable .

There is a "green" movement on these as well as it is a form of recycling.

Easy, The re cycle!

Where I am (Southern California) many (most) municipalities regulate minimal recycling percentages, making haul off and dumping more involved and more expensive).

The HELOC gives you the flexibility to recycle money.  

I read the beginners guide to real estate, and based on my interpretation of the section about the RE cycles, it seems pretty clear that this is a "Bad time to buy"However, I also read the section that "Not acting" is pretty much the worst thing to do.This is creating paralysis from analysis!

If you really are getting $325k homes for $200k, you can recycle the same down payment funds over and over. 

Yes, some wholesalers in the area get some deals, but many of them are recycling the same deals that they do not even have a contract on in the first place.
