and considering the enormous amount of energy needed to pump that water from either the Colorado river, or from the Delta and over the grapevine

Actually it goes through the grapevine. There is a long tunnel going through the mountains there.

I tried to find pictures of it before it was put into use. I found them once before. In addition, energy reclamation techniques such as siphoning (the water going downhill in the pipe is used to push/pull the water up the hill) and using the downfall to generate electricity are used. Even so, moving water around CA requires an incredible amount of energy.

$225k at 6% interest rate will cost ~$1350/month with 0% down. Those houses can easily rent for $1700-1900/month depending on condition. PITI – Tax deduction will bring you to about $1200/month.

Don’t forget HOAs.. $258/mo. I think that the fact that it is attached will take the price down a little further from you $325k, not too much. HOAs may also pull the price down too (HOAs are not deductable). Otherwise I think you may be in the ballpark.

I do wonder if rentals are going to take a hit as well. I noticed that the apartment complex I am in had a special offer to sign people up for 6 more months at the current going rate. You don’t do that if you think rents will stabilize or go up.

I think the last two paragraphs of that reference say it all.

“Bernanke told lawmakers it’s ‘important’ for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds and stocks to rise…Paulson said the two companies are ‘essential’ because they represent the only “functioning” part of the home loan market.”

Check that out. Bernanke said it’s important for the stock market to rise (specifically Fannie Mae). How many mandates does the Fed have now?

Bernanke doesn’t seem to understand a basic principle that most stock investors do.. don’t catch a falling knife. It is ok to pick up the pieces after it fell.. but not while it is falling. Looks like he is planning to do this with taxpayer money too.
