In many cases the SFH valuations are not too far off from pre crash levels.  

The only problem is I usually arrive at a 'What now?'

I look forward to meeting you face to face at a BWI meetup once I arrive in Bmore.Jonathan, we have not sold yet!

If those things were done then giving out keys a few days ahead of time is not unheard of but only to move in small items before the movers arrive- not large items!

Should he not be offering information on how he arrives at the ARV he mentions?

My slightly over $500,000 purchase in 2008 (everybody was predicting an immediate crash} has a comparable just sell for $900,000 and a lesser comp on the market for $890,000.

He simply leaves his door unlocked and leaves a couple minutes before we arrive.

And it's an easy way to "crash course" through different REI techniques and learn what other people are doing.

Even my dog learns from mistakes; it all seems a bit 2006 round here.OK, but you don't need to be doubling your money quickly in order for leveraging to still be worthwhile ie. making you richer.Yes, there is NEVER a right time to be OVER-leveraged; and now is a very good time to prepare for the coming (arrived?)

I'm wondering where you think we are in terms of home prices since the crash?
