I'll list a few, but if you can think of others, please share:- Housing Bubble- Housing Crisis- Mortgage Crisis- Housing DoomAny others?

I realize that sounds crazy given the current situation, but I tend to look at the upside to everything and right now those with cash can buy cheap and when the credit crisis turns around those that have been waiting will start to buy again.Thanks to you and also thanks to BiggerPockets for being a great website.

Even in this crisis where everyone should know the result of crazy loans, I meet people at open houses who want to buy a 3BR/2BA remodeled home and have tons of credit card debt, car loans, etc.

I think the only thing keeping the dollar afloat is the effect that this crisis is having on all the other countries out there.

A great article... thanks Dan.It sure does fill in some of the gaps, since the "mainstream media" is telling us NOTHING.I particularly liked these two paragraphs:"What terrifies me … what wakes me in a cold sweat … is that the single most corrupt, inefficient, incompetent and idiotic institution on face of the planet is now trying to “fix†the problem.And that especially frightens me because, the closer I examine the roots of this crisis, the clearer it becomes that it was engineered almost entirely by the very bumbling buffoons who are now charged with ending it: The U.S. government."

That's a huge factor in the current crisis.

Not the end of the crisis, for sure.

A short sale in the scope of this crisis does the bank no good.....

These people (CEO and rest of his ilk) and companies (WAMU, Bear Stearns, ETC) looted their way to a financial crisis in the late 1980's.

I’m sure you are aware that there is a credit crisis going on.
