ParticipantRegarding remodel, I just redid the entire kitchen, 1 bath, 1 wet bar, for about ~$22-25k total. This is w/ maple cabinets w/ cherry stained, full extension drawers, lazy susan in the corner cabinet, 6″ back splash and full height back splash where the stove is, marble floor. I think you can save a lot by doing a lot of the general contractor job yourself. It took me ~2 weeks from start to finish. Marble floor takes about 5 days to do, cabinets took about 3 days, demo took 2 days. If you want reference, I can refer you to the general contractor I use.

ParticipantThe only problem is that you can’t time the market and long-term, i.e. in 15 years the home prices will be (hopefully) higher than now.

ParticipantSunny, like hell you cant time the market. I looked at the market in 2006, cried BS, and didnt buy. Ill buy in the future, when my social reality dictates. That is timing the market like no other considering that where I am likly to buy it is down 30%+.
You may not be able to time the bottom perfectly, I admit only one person will do that, but you sure as hell can time the market. ( basically I may not have been perfect, but this is hand granades and horse shoes territory. Close to the bottom counts.)
Sorry to be a jerk, but I heard this one today at work and decided that a Chemist needed a talking to. It was being used to justify some really bad past behavior.
