This website encouraged me to take the plunge this past February and purchase a 4 unit all brick multifamily home (three units 2b/1b, one unit an efficiency) in a great area south of campus in Columbus.

[Editor's Note: Special: What the Mainstream Media is NOT Telling You About The Economy]Bernanke also encouraged investors to step up and accept more so-called "short sales," where the bank accepts a lower payoff in exchange for avoiding the lengthy foreclosure proceedings.

A man at our table encouraged us to sign up for these classes, he seemed very knowledgeable and said we need to learn how to invest our $ not make more.

While not a cure-all, and like many government programs without real teeth, it is at least a public move to encourage short sales.

As far as commodity production, like oil, when the prices reached a point (because of the then current actual production) that people chose not to purchase, but curtail their purchases, The Saudies were encouraged to increase their production and the prices immediately dropped from their 135 levels back to 40.

A little words of encouragement!"

It would be worth the time and money to find a local attorney who specializes in joint venture arrangements.This way the paperwork and protections will be in place for both parties.A deal always sounds encouraging in the beginning but can later fall apart.

Thank you @Chris Farrugia The encouraging words are always welcomed.
