    I think the point was use others cash when you can, but in the end cash opens doors when you need it done. I would agree that nothing is for certain, but I have just tried to hold somewhat close to these, and it has been good so far. My Dad’s biggest issue was not deals gone bad with sellers, but issues with partners. This one is not his, but I also liked “When business is good, who needs a partner.”

    Christian Menegatti, lead analyst at RGE Monitor, said the firm predicted more homeowners would walk away from their homes if prices continued to drop, regardless of their financial circumstances. If home prices drop an additional 10 percent, Mr. Menegatti said, 20 million households will owe more than the value of their homes.

    According to the census bureau http://factfinder.census.gov
    there were 51,234,170 owner-occupied homes with a mortgage vs. 23,852,315 without a mortgage. About 75M owner occupied homes. However, there are 126M total homes. 8.8M homes underwater represents 10% of what exactly? Total owner occupied homes is the closest. A little more clarity in the article would be great, but it definitely doesn’t seem to mean 10% of mortgaged properties. 8.8/51 is more like 16%
