Oil Slump hits Houston home marketHOUSTON—Home sellers are slashing prices and offering incentives to keep buyers from walking away from contracts as an 18-month oil slump buffets this city’s once-booming housing market.Home-construction permits in the area plunged 26% from a year earlier in the third quarter, while December sales of existing single-family houses fell nearly 10% from the same month of 2014, according to data from the Commerce Department and Houston-area brokers.

After an hour, we excused ourselves and retreated to one of the "Foodie" hot spots a half block away, and over espresso (coffee wouldn't have been strong enough), called our realtor, got a quick  confirmation that it was a hell of a deal, and decided to take the plunge.

Vic,I recently took the same plunge.

(If I were gonna take the C-D class plunge it would probably be with them.)It's funny how aggressive you have to be to find a great passive investment, but I learn something new with every post and phone call.

I have read the book and listened to several podcasts on it and am ready to take the plunge.

In the last 3 months however, I have decided to take another plunge into the world of REI and this time with the help of a small team I established we are planning to seriously establish ourselves as major players in the tristate area.

I am settling in now and ready to take the plunge into REI.

I've been lurking on this web site for several YEARS and never really took the plunge.  

Often when housing prices are plunging, financing dries up. 

The income is there (3x $2000) but their credit scores took a plunge during the pandemic.
