I have a feeling that 30+ day trans funding will start emerging because the need is there.

I would also like to add that we all learn so called "Bullet proof" methods such as:If you invest in the "sun-belt states, in emerging economic centers buying single family 3/2 medium size home, you cannot lose.

While one location is severly hurting, another may be an emerging market where economic development is occuring, jobs are moving into the area (well, ok, this one's a bit of a joke right now), or people are moving there to take advantage of lower costs relative to other cities.Like Mike stated, the tricky part is figuring out how events in the macroeconomic environment will affect our local markets (and even more difficult, the timing of these effects).In closing, this is still a time to invest.

If you have an emergency, make sure you bring a Policeman".

There can be emergency assessments, and you have little choice but to pay.You also need to inspect the entire building and grounds, because that all needs maintained, ALL of the hoa paperwork: Articles of incorporation, ccrs, bylaws, rules and regulations.

Lots of reasons: underwater on home, recent BK, college grad with student loans, divorce, medical catastrophies, estate planning etc.

ALso I have a time frame and allow one day per five for weather days, emergencies, etc.What also happens is that some sub or worker will be on the cell phone half the day, electrician are real bad about this for some reason since they are usually there the least time of anyone else.
