Interest rates will wobble the market for a couple of years, builders will overbuild, and the long slow slide into depression gets underway. 

At other times he was depressed and can see nothing but trouble ahead for both the business and the world.

The free market is not the answer to everything....markets dont always know whats best.However you guys are surrounded everyday by misery and depression.

When the depression hit (2008) it was over, and everything was gone.  

This is our 3rd property in this area, we have other properties in the area that we are acquiring, we're working with the city to identify depressed areas and revitalize the area. 

The administrative Law Judge found the tenant suffered from severe depression, and that her Yorkshire Terrier which obtained inadvertently and without a prescription, and which she kept in violation of a no pet policy, could be soothing and have a therapeutic benefit.

That's sitting by depressed and watching a whole boat load of great deals (the opportunity) slipping through your fingers because you don't have access to any capital because all your capital is tied up in that damn piece of land you bought that your can't get rid of.

Furthermore, there is much hope coming our way very soon.Many people compare our current economic condition to the Great Depression.

Not only later this year, but there will be more ARM resets in 2011 than there was in 2008, creating a huge potential for another (or a continued) real estate depression through 2012 and beyond.Additionally, many of the loan modifications that are currently being done are short-term modifications (for example, dropping the interest rate to 1.5% for 2-3 years).

We are approaching allowable IRA distribution age and have multiple rental properties all with taxable cap gains and no mortgagesWe have taken a second rental as primary residence now but why sell at this point in time at such depressed prices, so we will wait.Our question involves transferring some of our rentals to our self-managed IRAs and then using the tax-deferred nature of it to lower the tax implications.The mechanism would be, sell the property to our IRA's at the adjusted base, so no tax bill, unwind the property from the IRA, again no immediate tax bill, and then take our distributions form the IRA's and pay tax on that, which would be almost nothing due to our lower incomes at that point.Again, doing this at this point in the real estate valuation may not be the best, but once values begin to climb againWas just wondering if anyone has used this mechanism for unwinds, I believe it is perfectly legal, but will check with tax people.Cheers
