Darn right about a beautiful day… it is smoking outside… really nice.
Rustico after your post and then my response I did rethink it and where your point does make sense could be in the way that the purchase is made… that is, one advantage they have in the current situation is that they will qualify for more because thier salary and assets are indeed stronger based on the imbalance right now… When we get into the financing side of the equation I back off… In that sense it does make one think…So no, not really a duh by you at all… The waters do get more complex when you bring the financing into the issue and the strength they have gets them the better rate, which saves them moola in the long run… However if we are talking pure cash then it is a clear cut answer…
