Discouraged Buyers

They couldn't have bought a home before 2000, either.People who were only able to buy in with the bubbly loans, got into a highly leveraged situation, or who lost their shirts on overpriced houses may not buy again for a while, either.Many more folks will struggle to pay of a loan with a higher balance than the value of their house.Many folks will have missed out on this entirely becuase they bought before the bubble, and didn't refi over their heads during it.I do think its possible net demand for houses will fall to a point below where it would have been had the bubble not occurred.

This is an acceptable return considering you're making a sizable investment.Now, here's how I would make money even if I violated the 70% rule...I propose to the seller that I can pay him $190K but it has to come in 2 payments: $20K cash now and the balance in 6 months or when we sell the house.
