My agent has been amazing. I've got nothing but great things to say about him.

I remember sitting in the u of iowa library late at night studying. I thought to myself "what should I do after I graduate?" then I thought "hey! people make a ton in real estate". so I picked up a book on it and was turned off completely. so instead I picked up a copy of the Silmarillion, which is easily the most boring, insane hunk of literature to ever been written in english. tolkien was out of his mind. sure he was brilliant but he was obsessive to a fault.

I studied Real Estate many years ago. I was asked to leave the profession for being a nice guy.
I chose design.

Prices going up, the Reserve Bank dropped interest rates for the first time in a long time recently, availability of housing is terrible, and there aren't enough new houses being built to cope with existing demand let alone the current immigration influx. That said, only a few banks were exposed to the catastrophe in the US and we're not suffering as badly as the US right now.
I read an article about one apartment block in Miami where over 200 apartments in the same building foreclosed at the same time... there's certainly nothing like that happening here...- Dog-earSep 25, 08, 12:02 a.m. – Permalink

Bail out the institution... to hell with the subprime borrower? Oh really...look a little closer
The real bail out here is for these Credit Default Swaps...OTC deriviatives...these toxic deregulated activities were blessed and passed into law by Congress in 2000...Thank largely in part to ex-sentor Phil Gramm...CEO of UBS...McCain finance minister...
Repeal of the Glass Steagal Act in 1999 was another one of the his feathers in his cap. The congress...the president...banks...insurance companies, hedge funds, pension funds...etc...let this ride for atleast 8 years.
These OTC deriviatives were called by Buffet as investments of Mass Destruction...he personally had to clean up and unwind a company that he brought that was wrapped up in these kinds of products.
Get ready for government owned entities that we as taxpayers all own but have no control of...remember, this is just the beginning.

Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are contracts that are traded (and privately negotiated) directly between two parties, without going through an exchange or other intermediary. Products such as swaps, forward rate agreements, and exotic options are almost always traded in this way. The OTC derivative market is the largest market for derivatives, and is unregulated. According to the Bank for International Settlements, the total outstanding notional amount is $596 trillion (as of December 2007)[1]. Of this total notional amount, 66% are interest rate contracts, 10% are credit default swaps (CDS), 9% are foreign exchange contracts, 2% are commodity contracts, 1% are equity contracts, and 12% are other. OTC derivatives are largely subject to counterparty risk, as the validity of a contract depends on the counterparty's solvency and ability to honor its obligations.
