ParticipantHLS, how would only having 10% down affect the rates?

Participant[quote=lostcat92120]I heard on the KPBS this AM that oil will drop to around $25 a barrel by the end of next year. This was based on a merril lynch study.
[/quote]Don’t forget, a mere six months ago all the news was that oil was going to continue going up, gas was going to $5/gallon the the end of last summer, and we’d reached peak oil. I have stopped believing in extremes (except as a response to an extreme: i.e., the housing drop as a response to the absurd bubble).

Participant[quote=EconProf]As a landlord for many years, I’ve found the best policy is to discover the average market for my units, then ask slightly less and be very picky about chosing tenants. I also raise them slightly each year, always keeping them under (presumably rising) market comps. Tenants are told up front of this policy.
Yes, I’ve seen foolish landlords ask for higher than market rents and then sit on vacancies for a while, or else rent to dregs as tenants. Can’t cure stupid.
[/quote]You’re the kind of landlord my family looks for. We take very good care of our rental, have very good credit, and try to pick up the cost of incidentals to avoid nickle-and-diming the landlord (i.e., we’ll pick up the $100 for a plumber here or there, I painted the trim on the house, etc.). In return we ask for competitive rents and general consideration.

Participant[quote=marion]DWCAP, a decent, family man does NOT leave a crippled wife. She was a model or former model when he married her, and he left because the horrible car accident she was involved in rendered her “ugly”. His reasons for leaving should be obvious by virtue of who he cheated on her with and subsequently married: Blonde, statuesque, WEALTHY Cindy. An exact replica of “Barbie”.
McCain has as much character and integrity as a street rat. And that’s not to say that some of the dems are any better.[/quote]
I’m worried about McCain myself, but I think ascribing the divorce to his first wife’s accident when the woman herself claims otherwise is a bit unfair. Not to mention that McCain divorced her 17 YEARS! after he returned to find her crippled.
Now he may have left his first wife because she wasn’t young any more, or he hit his midlife crisis, and having an affair and leaving his wife for some other woman doesn’t make him a decent guy, but let’s try to stick to reality without trumping things up.
