deadzone: Dude! Don’t hold back now, tell us how you really feel!
All kidding aside, I have to profess that I too am tired of this incessant whelping from homedebtors about how their realtor/mortgage broker/bank/etc misled them into a toxic loan.
Purchasing a home represents the single largest financial commitment you will make in your life (generally speaking), and the responsibility for reading the fine print and knowing the terms of the loan is yours and yours alone. The majority of these people bought into the hype and now want to duck their responsibility because they weren’t able to flip their property and make an obscene profit quickly.
Any investment banker worth their salt will tell you about risk versus reward, and that there is no such thing as either a free lunch or a sure thing.
I agree about traffic, too, by the way. Especially on that 15 corridor.
