ocenter – thanks for the followup. Very interesting…
lookoutbelow – interesting perspective. My attorney helped me get back my rental deposit. I don’t share your aversion to lawyers. I believe in division of labor and hiring professionals to improve my outcome.
nhamlin – good warning. I was told that nationally, all markets are cooling except Texas and North Carolina. But I’m sure their turn will come. I never could understand why people buy properties in areas they don’t know. It’s like buying a stock you know nothing about, just because you like its name. But people are doing that – buying real estate sight unseen, or they visit the town for a day first and think that gives them the necessary information. These stories usually end badly, because the seller inevitably overpays, since he doesn’t understand the local market.
