While renting you could monitor any movement by placing markings and measuring crack widths, and by stringing line attached to house that represent the current slope and independent horizontal string line with markings where measurments are taken.

The house exhibited signs of foundation movement; cracks in drywall around doors, sticky doors opening and closing etc.

I've never heard of a perpetual contract like that.

This supports my new movement to get 100% away from any of the big banks.

Nothing changed other than we sometimes made 100% more on a property.What normally pushes prices coming off of a down market is construction, which creates jobs in other catagories, which attracts migration, which creates demand and the circle continues to reinforce itself.This time, we do not have any of those factors in place and yet we have major price movement...why?

If possible to watch the meter, watch and see if there's any movement, even a tiny, tiny bit, when all the faucets are shut off.

You can refinance in perpetuity as long as you still qualify.

Your movement into any industry should involve building a community, but it always should begin with self-reflection and understanding your objectives and current financial position. 

Speculators are driven by price movements, investors are driven by fundamentals and value.

We live in Miami -- which has seen record growth and movement.
