But it's not only the kids; grandma and grandpa, mom and dad are also earning squat on their savings so they can't help with the downpayment either.And then there's the 56% of existing starter homeowners with a mortgage who can't afford to sell their house and net enough to buy another of the same price let alone move up (http://ashworthpartners.com/46-of-us-homeowners-with-a-mortgage-are-frozen-and-cant-afford-to-move/ ) making it difficult for those who do accumulate a down payment to find a starter home they can afford.Now the NAR and their resi real estate agents, the MBA and their home mortgage bankers, the NAHB and their home builders are all saying it's just a phase and everything will go back to the 1950s just as soon as Ward & June Cleaver get their new TV show but they underestimate the power of recency bias and demographics combined.Add on the need to stay mobile for job opportunities and it will be much longer before owning a mass produced suburban sfr is the American dream again.

Prior to this I was an Automotive Master Technician so if you have any car questions, I'd be happy to give my thoughts/advice.I am currently perusing my Bachelors in Finance with plans for an MBA thereafter.

Google "mortgage applications" and scroll past the ads to the MBA report.

Hi everybody,I wasn't able to find too much information about the topic, but I know the traditional career path to becoming a Commercial Real Estate Developer (i.e. apartments, hotels, office) is 1) Networking to get a job with a real estate development company or if all else fails, get an MBA/MSRED to get into a real estate development company.2) Work and Gain Experience 3) Go out on own, make your project, and profit.I was wondering if there is a second path to becoming a commercial developer by starting with flipping homes instead.  

It seems that most BPers are opposed to the MBA avenue but what others areas do yall like?
