Be cautious with someone like that as there is a big difference between blogging about housing and understanding the nuts and bolts of real estate transactons. I find it ironic when someone who is so anti housing realizes there is no money to be made in what they are doing and sooner or later they become the very people they have spent years demonizing. From what i have seen they havent been sucessful in their transitions. Powayseller?Mr. Mortgage? There are a few others but those immediately come to mind. Sooner or later we’ll see Ben Jones Realty & Mortgage.

FWIW, a buy vs rent calculation can be found just about anywhere on line.
