Tropicana Imploded Early This Morning: The historic Tropicana hotel and casino was demolished in a dramatic implosion, marking the end of an era.

I think this might be a low point because the Canadian government is trying to pump the housing market before the election next year by lowering rates, relaxing mortgage insurance conditions etc.Yes they have been putting in all these measures to prop up the housing market as they see the pending implosion writing on the wall. 

And if I were such an investor then I would be especially wary of investing in a time like now where a significant number of these types of deals have imploded...or are making unplanned capital calls to avoid implosion.

., this I think is longer term implosions as I am seeing people who absolutely should not be buying a home as they have no money buy them sub-to because of little down payment and will eventually lose the property and that is when many whose mortgages are still on the property come out and sue.

That uncertainty in risk calculation almost always ends up as the root cause of the worst real estate implosions, like his.

I don't think the fundamentals are there for an implosion like 2007, but I think we could see demand lower as interest rates rise.  

Also you can say the same thing about BP and everyone is talking about buying rentals.. its the herd mentality and when all these folks started buying in the deep trench after the GFC they expected the 2% rule or more that's where it was spawned.. now its 1% is acceptable and next thing you will know its .05%  etc etc.. the herd is alive and well in buying rental real estate in the US>. and I for one am happy to see it.. if the herd was not buying in many markets those markets would be flatt on their  @$$  and devolving but with all this out of state and out of country investment it saved many many cash flow markets from implosions.. since the organic market in the actual area IE local investors is not sufficient to buy all the homes that are there.. think about that one.. !!! 

This was around the time we had a recession and then home mortgage issues....heck implosion :-(.     

This weekend it'll only get worse before it gets better.It's kind of odd how we could have our biggest stock market implosion, yes bigger then this past Monday, in October.

The sub prime implosion has closed a lot of doors.
