“Thank You” to Rich Toscano. He helped prevent my family from committing financial suicide by falling into the real estate trap.
Exactly! I’ve had a bad feeling about the housing market for a long time (since 2002 or so) but could never find anyone that backed up my emotional response with facts and figures. Everything I could find was pro real estate (including family and friends). I was at the point where I figured that I just did not understand, and I was being foolish not to sign up for a ridiculous mortgage.
Then I finally hit on Rich’s articles in Voice of SD and Piggington. Finally I had found someone who knew what they were talking about, and had the facts and figures to support my general feelings about the market.
I could have been one of these people now in foreclosure, but Rich pulled me back from the edge.
