I can recommend a large lending law firm that works nationwide but local is better.

My questions is reading all these dealers posting on the forum, they seem to be pretty big and strong in the industry because they have props nationwide meaning they are licensed in all 50 states.

If Merill Linch is correct about a 25% drop in housing prices nation wide, a recession is a given and a depression becomes more likely. (25% is far greater than I had epxected and I think thats a bit high for nation wide, but it is possible within the Shiller model.)If the housing reforendom next week is as negative as expected, look to start shorting oil and other commodities required for production of goods.Less damand for goods leads to less production leads to cheaper commodities. $80 oil will again become possible again if global recession becomes likely.

These guys are an offshoot of Nationwide Real Estate Discounters.

Real estate market strong over the next six months, thanks to 30-year fixed rates that remain below 4 percent, continued job growth, and recent measures that have made credit more accessible and cheaper.Across all property types (single family, townhomes, and condos), the number of Realtors indicating that their market was "strong" outnumbered those who viewed the market as "weak," according to the April 2015 Realtors Confidence Index Survey, which is based on responses from more than 1,000 Realtors about their latest transactions.With stronger buyer demand and tight supplies, homes continue to sell relatively quickly – typically within 39 days in April – according to the survey.Those surveyed expect prices to increase at a faster pace in the next 12 months, with the median expected price growth nationwide to be 3.9 percent (up from 3.5 percent expectation in March's survey).Realtors in Colorado were the most upbeat about price increases.

I do it one time a day, nationwide, and have done it for over 20 years.

. - According to my own analysis, I believe real estate prices (based on a median of nationwide prices) would start going down about 2 years after interest rates start rising.

LOL  so in those areas again values will follow rents..and rents are solid when their are jobs.as the markets are now back to 06 peaks... what says they don't make new highs.. just like market peaks in 99 made new highs in 06 and market peaks in 89 made new highs in 99 or market peaks in 85 made new highs in 89.to me bubble pop is a nationwide thing like happened in 07 08.. and that i dont see happening at least the SFR realm. 

Chicago/the state of Illinois have been among the weakest markets nationwide in price performance terms this market cycle.

Then I am helping several more nationwide.
