Kewp, that is so key! Everytime I hear “new paradigm” a red glag goes up, and I realize, I’m about to hear BS.
I was getting a lot of pressure to buy from my parents in 2002-3, so I started researching the market. At that point it was literally shooting up every month! Plus, the inventory was very low. I remember approaching one realtor about a place he had advertised, and when we met up, he said it was sold. “To whom,” I asked, wondering who had beat me to the punch. “Me.” he said. So when I realized I was competing for homes with the very people who were supposed to be helping me buy them, I was definitely in trouble. I came home, googled “San Diego Housing Bubble,” found Rich, and became one of his paying subscribers. That was fall of 2004, and now I count him as my financial adviser. Becoming a Pigg was one of my best moves ever.
