I have made tens of thousands of dollars using information gleamed from this site. In addition, I’ve learned a lot about housing, mortgages, foreclosures, investing, renting, HOAs, NODs, NOTs, REOs, HELOCs, taxes, and the cyclical nature of real estate. Zip code specific areas are discussed FREQUENTLY and tables of rent, sales, prices, you name it are posted regularly. People even post stock ticker symbols for which I am eternally grateful.
I’ve also learned that irrational people who say things like “we are not in a bubble” or “rents never go down” cause a lot of unpredictable behavior on all markets. Forgive me if I sound slightly hostile, but I promise I have done my best to not say things like “you’re a friggin’ idiot” or “brainless buffoons like you got us into this mess”.
If all you’ve learned form this site is “we are in a correction” then you have not read enough or you’ve ignored what you’ve read because you’re in denial and nothing anyone says can convince you otherwise.
There is an entire blog on 4S Ranch, just search for it and read it, lazy.
