you might take a look at this survey on affordability-http://www.demographia.com/dhi.pdfSocialism generally increases taxes and thus puts presure on sales prices, IIRC - would appreciate an explanation of what you think Socialism does to increase sales prices of RE - NY RE owners would love to know, since they spend a lot of money to the anti-socialism lobbies!

The knowledge I gained has helped me earn a good chunk of money.Yet I and many here on Bigger Pockets are somewhat anti-Guru.

I'm phasing in anti-bed bug mattress liners.

And this anti agent sentiment were people think they need to be " big shot investors" or house flippers etc is so korny they really don't understand about a career .. 99 % of these folks on BP will either never do a deal or flame out within 24 moths.So to my agent I was speaking about he has been in the PDX market for 12 years now..

Did they treat with an anti-microbial? 

A nice little trick that the anti development people came up with.

Much of it seems like costs I can't do much about but then there's a section that says "services you can shop for" and has a list of costs:Services You Can Shop For $4,021 Survey $350Title - 24 Month Chain of Title $250 Title - Anti-Predatory Lending Database Fee $150 Title - Closing Indemnfication/Protection Letter Fee $75 Title - Email Fee $25 Title - Endorsements $500 Title - Lender's Title Insurance $1,028 Title - Settlement Fee $1,600 Title - Title Insurance Services $3 Title - Wire Fee $40 Since this is my first mortgage, are the costs of these fees pretty similar everywhere?  

Anyone who has spent as much time around BP as I have has seen that the vast majority of out of state and TK conversation revolves around companies selling (typically lower-end properties) to cash flow investors. I am...

Overall, I am not anti-GURU but cautious.

Tim,That was a far better video than I expected.Do you believe we will socialize medicine this time around?
