Maybe you SS experts will contribute as we go.....I'll post later.

Look forward to contributions from your background and experience in real estate and investing.

For spending 20 hours (roughly) per year per property, I earn $1700 (roughly).Further, I consider it a contribution toward my long term wealth.

Only seems to bring users already contributing to the thread, so if you want to mention a colleague who has not yet posted in the thread, you have to do what @Jon Holdman stated - type a few letters.

My intention was to sell the house completely but couldn't make it happen.Ren - I'm in a short sale position, yes....but, besides me not wanting to contribute to the American problem as well as wanting to keep my 800-ish credit score, I'd rather not go this route

I Want to say thx to you for your contributions and continued dedication to this site and for always trying to help others.WHen I first came here roughly 6 or 7 months ago it was one of your posts that I first read and thought to myself wow this is a great site with great people and I want to be part of it!

I plan on spending a lot of time here on BP, and hopefully soon I'll be able to contribute to this great site!

Thank you for your contributions on the site, your posts have been helpful in many ways.

BP is a great place to get answers and kick around different aspects of investing, so jump in and contribute as well.Good luck!

Two additional factors will also contribute to the real estate recovery......1) Real Estate returns compare very favorably to competing investments and 2) It is cheaper to purchase than it is to rent in the entry-level price ranges.
