Laid-off workers occupy Chicago factory like in 1930’s

[Coronita]

Just got back from L.A.

Anyway, paramount and Breeze. Frankly, I’m not trying to make a career out of RE (yet). I figure having a license might come in handy if I am in a position to buy something that I see is a good deal. Plus a little extra education in areas that I’m not knowledgeable that leaves me more informed than before, well I figure I’m better off than before.

FWIW, there has been some interest in some relatives overseas with buying homes in the u.s. when prices fall slightly more. So if that ever happens, I might as well split the commission with them than have them give it completely to a stranger.

[quote=TheBreeze]C’mon, FLU. The best you can do is a story about some laid-off middle manager from the toy industry?

Toys are the most discretionary item in the universe. Of course that industry is gong to get hit during a recession.

And middle managers? Companies can get the most bang for their buck by cutting the layers of middle schmanagement flab.

This guy was lucky to ever have a job. If it wasn’t for the housing bubble, he’d probably be working at some call center or something. Plus, I bet he’s spent all the money he made on frivolous crap and sent his daughter to some $50,000 a year private school so that she could get a worthless art history degree.

Let’s see a story about someone with real skills and a real job who has gotten laid off. [/quote]

Like sales ? 🙂

How long does it take to get a RE license? A week? Two weeks? Maybe I’ll get a RE license too so that I can partake in some of the massive government pork that is going to realtors and mortgage brokers.

Paramount, please point the posts that said real estate is going to come roaring back. I know sdrealtor posted that he believes there will be increased sales in the spring but I don’t think he used the terms roaring back.

I know it may be disappointing for some that things don’t fall directly off a cliff. Once more I will say secular cycles don’t go in one direction all the time. The secular cycle is still down so why is there so much distress about a rally caused by subsidizing purchasing power? I know it hurts to see San Diego county notices of default and trustee sales decline rapidly over the past 2 months but it is a fact. So instead of turning away from it, to me acknowledging the facts and recognizing them for what they are is more logical of an approach isn’t it?

Don’t worry, real estate will come down, while it comes down there will be cyclical rallies and cyclical dumps. That is pretty much the way things work.

Please post the threads about real estate roaring back, as I would really like to see them.
