Aaron, I agree prices are high, sellers/brokers can be ridiculous on the prices, and some buyers are overpaying for properties, so it makes it all okay.

With these rock bottom interest rates as well as prices in alot of areas, not taking advantage of locking into a 30 yr fixed rate @ 3.75 - 4.0 on an investment property with othe peoples money is being foolish (just my opinion) it is ridiculously cheap to borrow money right now!

You claim that this is a discussion forum with no vitriol but your mockery and expression of ideas as if you have it all together is ridiculous. 

I mean, A LOT.Tenants paid the utilities, and the water bill in LA is ridiculously high, so they watered it minimally.

This of course is all ridiculous as public equities can have more speculation, are heavily manipulated and can be extremely volatile.

Waiting for the go ahead, turning down requests now because of the ridiculous ban.

(it's called snark)Ok, now onto Ken's ridiculousness of fantasy land. 

All that I find are dumps with ridiculous proforma's that hope to con an unsuspecting buyer. 

You are probably going to feel all sappy for them when they don't have the rent check on time this month because <insert any valid or ridiculous excuse here>.

WHY was everyone telling me not to invest in real estate when the ROI was ridiculous?
