Does anyone have any insight on the housing crisis in England?

I knew I had a drive to learn about business, business strategy, finance, and economics.

That said, that person would (presumably) be an attorney with no vested interested in the economics of the deal.

Study the data, follow the local business news, look at future job growth projections, talk to the economic development committee or organization.  

Down the road, once I have built some wealth with my rentals, I'd like to study economic trends such as employment to decipher some patterns in economic growth. 

Now, if you get lucky enough to have a portfolio of a 1,200 notes, you do get into strategies, cash flow management, pre-payment and default forecasting, risk management, all have very little to do with economic markets, other than interest rate changes that effect the management and forecasting, but those markets don't effect the weighted maturities, capital at risk so much and that also is dependent on the asset class. 

There can be other types of equities, economic, intrinsic values, forced equity by management or operations, but these are not financially recognized equities.

After you have some experience under your belt then choose a firm that fits your needs and your economic parameters. 

Watch for "signs" of economic change (job losses, tech business news, increasing crime, rents and housing prices, etc).

This may have to do with the economic and political influence of many of the other neighbours in Mount Pleasant or the fact that it is not in the historic uptown area (the location of the house is in what use to be a separate community called Portland) - which is also why it was spared in the great fire of 1877.One is free to renovated this house as you see fit - which is why my agent brought it to me.Our stock is typically an older, unloved building, either purposely built as multi-units or previously converted - but occasionally we will convert or re-arrange the division of a previous conversion.
