Real Estate Woes: The End of the Great American Housing Boom

[MyVapez]

I just spent $54,000 on my teeth alone for a full mouth smile makeover, and that was the cheapest quote I could find in Oregon!

There's no economic depression in dentistry, they are raping the uninsured like never before.

If you want to get rich in this bad economy, become an oral surgeon specializing in dental implants, you'll be rich within months like my dentist, he's only 29 yrs old and already owns a 2.4 million home, 3 Mercedes Benz and flies to his 2nd home in Bermuda 4 times per year...

Real estate speculation needs to go away completely and permanently to make housing affordable and have an alternative way to drive the economy forward. Since real estate speculation is all about cashing in on the rise of land values and not improvements the solution is to move all property and other taxation on to land values. This will end the incentive to speculate in every form of real estate not just housing and steer capital investment into the real economy where real values are created.

Montgomery Alabama is still during well compared to the rest of the country. Great place to invest.

[Saban1983]

Tuscaloosa, Alabama is a fine market to invest in as well.

Gold has quadrupled in the last six years. Google has gone from $85 per share to over $700 in less time. There are over 20 mutual funds that have returned 500%+ for the last five years, including one that is up over 1,000%. You still think Real estate is the best investment? I don't.

[mgilbo1]

Yes I do. If you buy a house, its not a great investment but if you buy apartment complexes or multi-units, they are much better investments than any stock or mutual fund because it gives me cash flow. Mutual funds don't give me cash flow and stocks don't either unless you get dividends. But even then you have to tie up ALOT of cash to make money on dividends and even then they aren't guaranteed. Single family homes are not good investments but you have to live somewhere.

Politicians use the mobocracy system in housing by charging taxes every year on the property you have already paid the day you cant pay you lose your house, like a mafia movie By increasing taxes every year there would come a time

where you cant pay that high. The result is inevitable mass homelessness for the middle class and rising rents for the poor while wages stay low. SO you can thank god for a housing crash.

Uhhhhh...Every fact presented seemed as important as every other fact presented. I don't feel any smarter.

Don't worry. The people of today won't behave at all like those of the 30's did. But rest assured, when folks turn upon and eat each other, the cannibals will do fine...

The current trials and tribulations of the home mortgage market stem from a re-pricing of risk (impacting the financial institutions and institutional investors who bear the risk for home loans). There is no shortage of mortgage money -- this is not the case; as you have seen on television and/or on the internet, there are lenders desperate for customers.

[alanhowitzer]

Humm... Are you in the mortgage industry? I think people are not buying not because they can't find a mortgage but because houses are too freaking expensive.

As I see it,a fat America getting fatter,cancer holding its own, many "newer' problems associated with life styles-It's going to get a lot worse as aging America deals with illegal America in an effort to stay alive in the near future. Who worries about terrorism when it's a self-destructing social nightmare?
