Sounds like borrowing rates will stay low for the 'foreseeable future' which is good news for borrowers.

Bad news for brick and mortar stores, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to browse on Amazon and have almost any book I see on my Kindle in seconds.So, David, if you can figure out how to give your employees access to some book/news service, I do think its a good investment.

George has some good points -- in the future, you should ask this question, as a seller who has representation will be required to pay commission regardless of how the buyer is found (in most cases).The bad news is that yes, you will have to work through the agent to buy the property.

The good news is this creates great opportunities for those who are willing and able to analyze a situation and make logical, rational decisions.

Sorry I don't have better info or news for you.

If the interest rates are typical for hard money lenders (double digit), how is the end buyer going to afford the resulting monthly payment and for how long?

Topher, I can't make buy and hold work in the present Oregon market, I made money 3-5 years ago when appreciation was in the double digits.

Tell them to let you know when the bag is half empty so you can bring another one over and place it in the storage area.Third, get with your attorney as soon as you can to make him/her aware of the situation.Fourth, review your lease to make sure the party responsible for clearing the walkways of ice and snow is clearly spelled out.Fifth, remember, THIS is why you bought insurance.The good news?

People are losing their jobs, listening to the news (chicken littles), or are simply looking to cash out...selling would mean losing your shirt and pants and frankly the lending climate isn't what it once was...so the number of potential buyers is not there.

I'm curious to know:- If you have a regular e-newsletter- How often you release it- Type of content (ie: articles, listings, community news..etc).Thanks all!
