ParticipantBrian, short sales are also being cited as one cause for the huge increase in cancellations in June.

ParticipantThe property tax bill alone on a $1m cash purchase means you would need to invest another $150-$200k income property just to pay it. On the other hand with the mortgage interest deductible possibly on the chopping block that might be a consideration. A cash purchase will offer you better leverage on negotiating a better price. Why do you have to live in a $1m home? A high price tag does not necessarily mean a better home. You can find some dreadful homes in that price range and some nice ones in a lower price bracket. Your age may also be a factor. If you are older, are comfortable and have opinions on credit markets, an all cash purchase in a low tax state is the simplest route.

ParticipantI’ve seen a chart that purports to show the same, but with NY being the biggest draw. What can you buy in California for $100k? Why would foreigners give “It’s a nice place to live” as the main reason, when they legally can’t live here? Needs some verbal backup.

Participant[quote=GH]With all the pressures of life and the sheer complexity of our brains, I am almost surprised more people don’t go postal.
I tend to see individuals like this as people with a screw loose, or in scientific terms “nutcases”. This would include Timothy McVay and the Unibomber guy, probably throw in Manson for good measure and the nightstalker while I am thinking about it.
I am 100% convinced that this individual is a raving loony with a broken brain. It has happened before and will happen again. Probably more as things get more stressful in our world.[/quote]
Yes and no. As callous as it sounds, the human race is large enough to absorb isolated fractures. Containing the spread is important, and ensuring it doesn’t become mainstream is vital. A 1,500 page manifesto (I have only heard snippets), sounds like the work of a calculating mind. It may be that Hitler and Stalin were mad as well, but the important thing here is the damage creeds, causes, religion etc can do when they go viral. Who is more insane; the soldier or the general? They may argue, insanity is ultimately just a shift from what we consider normal.
