The “Life is Short” argument didnt cause these problems. Far from it. What caused this problems is the “Money is Free and Easy” argument.
As for me benefiting from RE transactions, I just realized something (over a nice big glass of Cabernet and a block of aged Gouda) after entering another closed sale in the MLS. No one on this board does anything that helps me (save helping me maintain my sanity) and I’m doing more to help you all than most anyone on this board. Everytime I close another of my short sale listings I pull the comps down another 3 to 5% in whatever hood I’m working in.
