You cant have inflation (Which still hasn't occurred and probably doesn't until at least a year after the recovery.

I was one of the guilty-gullible in the early 00's that had the "Buy now or be priced out forever" mindset, signing a very short- term ARM with little down just to get my piece of the American Dream.I love analogies and this period of the current "recovery" reminds me of a scene from the original Jurassic Park movie.

It took a long time to recover.   I

The progression of our recovery (CRE) has obviously made sense - The top 5 to 10 major cities have recovered first with Large Class A+ properties in A+ areas (CBD's) being picked up first.

With a "go by" I can set one up in a couple hours, without it, a couple days, if there are multiple partners, estate issues, buy sell agreements, options, rights of recovery and set off of assets, collateral assignments and such, well, who knows, it could take a month or several months to iron out.

In a non-accrual status the collection of the debt by way of the consumer gives way to recovery from the collateral ergo on-going report needs are limited.  

So, there's evidence that there is at least a short-term recovery going on in some sectors, and some (not me, to be honest) are confident that there is a longer-term economic recovery underway.Hypothetically, let's say that proves to be the case...does that mean the Keynesian approach worked and the administration deserves credit?

Subject: The Birk Economic Recovery PlanI'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a WeDeserve It Dividend.To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafideU.S.

In 2008, The Housing and Economic Recovery Act created the NSP and appropriated many billions of dollars for you, Travis!

Hi @Keeya WangJones, well this is my little story 2004( I was to young had just gotten my real estate license but what I remember, I did 2 sales only that year, but rates did go up a little and that's why my 3rd property did go threw ) 2008( I was young Associate at the Investment firm of my dreams, so my job was to analyze trades, purchase of large multifamily complexes, what I notice that the uncertainty of the election does drive into doing out of comfort moves, but 2008 election was during a time of crisis in the real estate world, but what I gather of the residential market that year was if you had money you bought property because it will go up couldn't go any higher and election did affect at some point the election ) 2012( I was more establish in the firm and was head investment analyst learned a lot since last election, and this was a different, that drove inventory low, nobody was selling investor were waiting with check and pen for another dip in the recovery economy but didn't happen just affected the options out there and the desire of people to sell common ordinary home buyer ) 2016( What my firm and I been noticing this election is a chain reaction, large hedge fund corporations are not making the move to invest there own capital, midsize and family offices are buying up safe investments and rentals with lease signed tenants, why uncertainty, and the average dude is buying like crazy, what he can get his hands one to make quick cash, will this drive or economy to a collapse again, some say yes some say no, you be the judge, but what everybody agrees that there is more money out there now so more money to loose, if I was you If there is a property that you love buy it park that money, somewhere cause whatever happens in election your money is safer in a home then in the bank, plus your home creates equity, just buy in a good area here in San Diego, we have the coastal California economy where you buy it ill go up in price, so just go out there and find the right home, I know its hard cause options are so few in the area now.
