“And you can’t tell me that there is a major bias to this site. ”
I can tell you there is a major bias – a bias towards looking at data and using it to make good decisions.
When the market turns the other way, watch this space to see it coming well ahead of time.
“Most of the people on this site are up to their neck in debt. I heard about this site from a handful of people, and all of them are bitter cash poor renters. ”
In the name of “looking at data” I have to call you on this one. You have no clue of the financial make-up of the posters on this site. Is 1 handful a statistically significant sample size?

December 3, 2007 at 12:37 PM #108108ibjamesParticipantAfter thinking about it, why would a debt ridden renter want to be on this site anyway? It would not add any value to him. We are always talking about good credit scores, lack of debt and need for down payments. If you were a debt ridden renter it would be a constant reminder of how you are screwing up. It doesn’t make sense.
Negative press? I don’t get where he is going with that either. It’s called bringing data and analyzing it. While tons of articles are out on the internet and in print hardly any of it really chews it up to get valid outputs. Especially for an area like SD which is in the middle of it all.
I look at this site as a beacon for many potential buyers and often refer people to it because of this. Many are thinking this is the chance to buy without checking out all aspects, I refer them here.
Look at the thread titles, it’s not like they are “I hate my landlord” “renting sucks” “how come I can’t buy?” In fact, one thread went on about making a rental property yours for the long haul. It wasn’t because we couldn’t afford to buy, it’s because we knew we were going to be renting to weather the mortgage fiasco that was unfolding in front of us.
I think we get a new poster like you once a week now, if you don’t agree with the site’s principles then move on to the “multiple property we are awesome!” forums and you guys can pat yourselves on the back all day! I’m sure you would like it there.
My wife and I moved here a few years ago and basically stated that buying a house isn’t worth it if I have to take out a crazy mortgage to do so. Crap, I wanted to post more but I have to turn my PC off, I’m trying to cut down the electricity bill because I have to make my rent payment this month.
