"Real Estate is always local" (So it's difficult if not impossible to determine national trends and predict the future)I think the most telling portion of the interview is that 1) no one knows what is going to happen...yes there have been sigificant gains in specific markets that are braggable but we don't know if it is sustained or not.2) Shiller was very open to rental- as a business model- is sustainable and growing.

Welcome to BP Nation @Sean W. 

It's not worth it to them for a national CMBS lender to keep up with all of these little loans etc.There are carve outs and the lenders require a lock box account.

BP Nation,I am trying to streamline my business to better handle leads by using a CRM like Podio.

Sister Loraine was the Executive Director (Sister as in Nunn) and it has been a nationally recognized success, they provide living quarters on a temporary basis primarily for women and children.2.

It will not outrank the big national sites.As for the IDX, I'm not sure how it's configured.
