I would add another factor that I see upcomming in the near future to the potential recovery woes.As those older frogs are getting ready to leap to that lilly pad, in order to get the needed medical help to live a little longer, they are often required to sell most, if not all, of what they have to qualify (currently) for a lot of the needed assistance of the older years.This will inturn mean that as the housing industry is ready to begin a decent recovery in a few years that there may be a flood of homes owned by those older frogs begin to hit the market, keeping the prices from recovering as some think they will when the banking forclosures are finally absorbed as these may begin to hit the market at that time.As Rich said, it is still a time to BUY, BUY, BUY, but at a discount and may remain that way for a while as the baby boomers houses hit the market preventing the great predicted recovery as a lot of these were financed with the proceeds of 401's and IRA's.

In Georgia once a house is sold at the tax auction the owner has the option of regaining control of the property for up to 12 months before the title changes owners.This is done by repaying the debt to the buyer plus 20% interest.In order to protect my interest and prevent the owner from speaking with any other investors about the property I drew up a contract that basically said that my company represents him on all matters concerning this property, and that we would receive first right of refusal when it comes to purchasing the property.

Prevent MOLD at all costs.

That is a key element to the Bush-altered domestic policy that has been critical to preventing terrorist attacks.
