And things aren’t getting any better.

But for someone like myself who plans to not "get out" for another 30-40 years short term booms and busts aren't of much concern other than potential buying opportunities like in early 2009.

Let's just hope for your sake and theirs that they aren't making a mistake because once you're in, it's now time to prove yourself :)Best wishes

However; I've been going around with them lately because there's an agent in San Clemente that is advertising properties that aren't his.

He gives away TONS of info on his podcast and has a great coaching program---much less than $500 mo.Plus his students aren't locked into a long term contract.Best of success to you.

So, if you want to get the maximum amount of exposure to people visiting the forums (we get a TON of visits from people who aren't logged into the site), a PRO account will allow that to happen.

What I can't figure out is why so many properties in my market aren't selling.

Many of the larger banks are putting resale restrictions on their deals, and the buyers also have to sign an affidavit at the closing table stating they don't have any deals pertaining to the property that aren't disclosed to the bank -- if you had a side deal, the buyer would be committing fraud.That's going to be the big hurdle...

I think there might even be one over in the BP "FilePlace"People can sue for whatever, but as long as you didn't do anything wrong - you aren't screwing people over.

I think they're blowing you off because they don't want it and aren't willing to say that directly to you.
