The prices in Orlando are climbing making it more difficult to find a deal that makes sense.

My Opinion:As the yield curve flattens it is an indication that the cost of money is going to be higher.Based on mortgage statistics that the median new mortgage has an LTV of 95%, people are still leveraging their homes quite a bit.In order for the real estate and financing markets not to go stagnant they will need to come up with increasingly ‘creative’ ways to finance houses with average home prices that continue to climb otherwise home buyers will no longer be able to afford purchasing houses.While all of the indicators don’t look exactly how they did in 2007 it is quite scary to see that many of them are quite similar.Just my two cents.

Do you want to lock in the presumably low interest rates now (if rates continue to climb, this could be the cheapest money you can find)?  

Did they pull the one with the guy climbing the cliff?

Obviously, the roof is fixed because the leak is gone and why would a buyer climb up with a 80 foot ladder to check the roof when the city will have to give a Certificate of Occupancy anyways and they check for that.My question - can the lender just "call the loan" because they don't feel confident? 

Prices have slowly climbed up pretty high (relatively speaking) .What strategies have you guys used in such market?

The rents will continue to climb as long as "nicer" neighborhood in Los Angeles rents go up.

Its tough watching that interest only payment climb every month.

In cities such as Denver, Atlanta, and Orlando, some are fearing that prices are climbing too fast, and keeping their eye on what was just a few years ago a form of “Income Appreciation Guarantee”, if there ever really was one.

One time I had to stop an inspector from trying to climb up garage shelving to get to an attic space above.
