My name is Mitch and I am one of those Americans who has done something for the last 10 years, and now have suddenly come to the conclusion that I want something different. 

First American Title.

We look forward to working with them again in the future to help more Americans achieve the dream of homeownership.”The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.1 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

this site interest me because all I have ever done is real estate in some form or fashion for 41 years... and its been a great ride with plenty of ups and downs.. and I do believe I have some unique perspectives from both investor side of the coin... retial buyer side ... wholesale side RE broker side Mortgage banker side.. etc etc.And it fills an hour or so of my day when I am usually having my coffee in the morning or just trying to kill time like right now  in Vegas waiting for my plane  Also some very nice folks on this site..

Fun with numbers;  American families have 2.5 kids - - how do you have 1/2 kid?

Was with American Family and I believe their ded at the time was 20% or something to that effect.

So, I'm thinking nothing too fancy...A 3br, 2ba on each side, 1200 sq. ft. or so per side, with the finished just being standard stuff...High quality for less maintenance, but not necessarily flashy or fancy...More on the functional side than fashionable. 

I am just curious as to the general consensus about this book and the true potential for the American economic system to crumble.
