AN, I’m aware that my post on investment properties is slightly off-topic, I mentioned that in my intro. Going back to the topic at hand, I’m sure there are ways of providing liquidity to the move-up market. After all, it was very common (back in the days) that purchase offers be contingent on the sale of the current house, and to have a chain of several escrows closed in the same day. It’s nothing new. Also, the concept of a “bridge loan” isn’t something new altogether.
