They can't predict their future and neither can you.

maybe a bunch of things.......but do know that flippers are like starving piranhas, particularly with anything MLS listed. in that, they attack deals, and know a deal vs a non deal. in their predictability, lays information.

I ran the numbers and it looks like renting a property would have me basically break even but I would be purchasing for the potential higher selling price I predict in a few years.

These qualities (safe, predictable, tax free) make them good options for retirees living on a fixed income.

I'm tempted to apply "George Costanza" logic when it comes to Harry Dent's predictions:

I managed to hold onto my Fantasy Football teams though. :-)Was it all worth it? 

I can predict what will happen.

You'll be able to improve on the list and/or see where the end results should have been predictable at screening time.

.- the fixed expenses I'm predicting are (based on their predicted appraisal of $91,900): principle and interest - $388.28 @ 4.625%, taxes (county and city) of $148.75, and insurance at $42.58.

More creative loans, such as portfolio and HML products, will predictably have even larger differences.
