After I retired, I got a part time gig at a senior center, and we have folks that needs help and they would need our assistance.

All major banks on a conventional loan disqualify as they all use fanny Mae/Freddy Mac guidelines (the process always stopped at the question if I am a citizen or at least hold a permanent residency, meaning green card).

Interest rates go up a point, depressing purchase pricesColorado figures out the construction defects challenges, and either condos are built again, or those apartment are converted to condos, flooding the market with supply, and depressing prices.China, in a trade war with the US, goes beyond the new, light capital controls and implements something with real teeth:  Let's say they give their citizens a 'tax holiday' for a year or two if their citizens sell their real estate held else where and repatriate the funds.

:(As an aside note, it appears our tactic of secretly converting them to conservatives is working.In an earlier post in this thread, you were suggesting that the U.S. government should covertly assassinate a private citizen of another country for doing something that wasn't illegal, but that you personally didn't like...Is that the type of conservative you're trying to convert us to?

A local hospital or community older folks/senior citizens as a place for their clients to exercise or do rehab of various kinds?

I do see how this idea could be abused though, and that it still may be unwise to suck up a great deal of your passive income to pay for a flashy car every month.I'm a senior at VCU wrapping up my last semester, and all I have at the moment is an adequate emergency fund and a small investment portfolio.  

It is a shock for any normal, honest, law-abiding citizen the first few times you're in these areas - I know it was for me!
