I said all you have is air and oppertunity bit*# and your breathing up all the air!

I certainly hope that something permanant is done about it to prevent further occurances as the majority of people here are interested in giving/receiving positive and beneficial information without a few bad seeds interfering.I am not sure this has happened yet, but will keep a positive hopefullness that it does.

According to the economists I subscribe to the only way out of this is: Dow = 5000Real Estate another 20% + dropUnemployment 10-15%The only way to prevent that big of a bust from happening is to prevent that big of a bubble in the first place.

This is especially appealing to me as I will soon be moving to Japan for a couple years and so all of the states will be out of state for me.I am curious about Dayton, OH specifically for a few reasons:1- I went to school there (Go Flyers)2- I have family in the area and may be moving back to southern Ohio at some point down the road3- It seems to me (and maybe I am wrong about this, so please correct me if I am) but having a large military base in an area would make the market good for rentals, and Dayton has a large Air Force BaseMy questions are:Does anyone have experience with rental properties (single family and up to quads) in the area?

I hope you are shocked.Now, calmly, on the other hand, if you are just speculating, that is, you are just happy with the general rise in the market, as long as all the old owners remain optimistic enough to keep on sitting tight so that there are few sellers, as long as enough high-tech jobs continue to pour into Portland (doesn't have to be many), as long as there is money in China looking for a way to not just disappear into thin air as in China it might (because at least here in Seattle that source seems responsible for most of the price-raising buying activity), then sure, maybe you are happy to pay 5.5% for the privilege of gaining that speculative increase in equity. 

Larger structures have requirements for minimum parking spots to prevent inadequate parking.

I really wish I could use it here in NYC to invest but for now this doesn't seem like the way to go for me.I have been toying a lot with investing, learning a lot about it... but many changes in my life have prevented me from actually doing it.

One major issue is that retirement plan rules prevent any material participation by your dad in his investment.
