I'm specifically not using a company that is doing check-book control accounts, because based solely on my personal research, I don't feel confident that those accounts won't run into problems later.

Some of the core markets now are trading at crazy prices and really low caps.I have also seen where a house used to be worth 160k and at it's lowest point the value with foreclosures was worth 75k.Because pre-foreclosure and REO inventory has dropped that same house is trading at 92k within a span of 6 months.I have seen new home subdivisions start popping up as builders feel more confident taking a risk to jump back into the market to sell houses.I wouldn't really call it appreciation as much as a market correction and recapture as the bad assets are worked through they system.
