- heck I rode their stock down (shorting) from $14, but now I am long at $0.61 (losing a bit of money there ;))Their deposits are down to $18 bil right now and shrinking.

If it were not for BiggerPockets, I would have no business.I got the info I needed to close my first wholesale hereI found my first Buyer hereI've done business with a dozen or more people that I've met hereI learned how to market successfully hereThe reference that a colleague of mine wrote on my profile page skyrocketed my web and marketing biz...The backlinks from this site have incredible SEO juice, and I've had mucho traffic to my site from here...that results in lower PPC costsHelping others not only generates good karma, but reinforces the core RE principles within me.All in all, I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with this site.

There is also a strong possibility that there are no good buyers in India for that property at that price + 30% (your investment return minimum for example), in which case the US-based investor will have difficulty unloading.I'm not against investing in India on principle, but if you're a US-based investor, please don't start that conversation with a salesperson located in Delhi.
