So now i have this vehicle and goal to work towards, it has given me renewed hope and optimism for a 'deskjob-free' life that i've always looked for.Based on the what i've read thus far, I think i will focus on Buy-n-Hold strategy for now with an emphasis on multi-family.

My name is Anne Cruz, I am the Global Head, Open Account Trade and Risk Distribution Operations, Standard Chartered Bank, Hong Kong.

The way of the world is consolidation and globalization.

I graduated from college with a business degree with emphasis on real estate.  

As far as I can tell, while Fannie, Freddie's, and HUD all have 'disclosure requirements' for realtors looking to purchase properties they do not globally restrict realtors as buyers.

'Net30' accounts from companies like Grainger, Gemplers, Quill, Wright Express or Global Industrial.

I understand that new investors don't have these connections, but it should not take but a few days to find out who buyers are for wholesale deals.Is the emphasis on lists of names unknown to investors a function of internet sales?

If they lose we may see systemic failure of our entire banking system and the fallout will take-out the entire global economy...

With the current global fiscal tightening stands and historical high valuations, our risk for correction is probably higher than ever.So should I wait until the market corrects?

And beyond that we have a global credit crisis that has just begun to rear its ugly head.Empowering BK judges to cram down several thousand sub prime mortgages will be inconsequential to all concerned.It is just another feeble effort put forth by bureaucrats attempting to control the uncontrollable.
