Part of it is just trying to cope while you see all the low lifes getting away with what they do.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889892549117508255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329419642567789295.post-67964789896817780802009-09-08T09:04:54.722-07:002009-09-08T09:04:54.722-07:00Seriously.

I'm almost at the point where I want to give up my now-expensive-but-still-cheaper-than-buying rental and move into a cheap apartment for 6 months to a year, and then maybe buy a house at a price that makes sense.Adrian Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747206784620016409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329419642567789295.post-68928412106968601012009-09-08T08:53:25.455-07:002009-09-08T08:53:25.455-07:00Damn.

The really messed up part is that even tho us renters have been saving up while we knew the bubble was coming, it's still pretty damn hard to save up $275k when all rents have been inflated to hell thanks to bubble heads. <br /><br />Now that the bubble has burst, the bubble head banks are the only ones with cash, thanks to the F'ing government intervention printing money and shoving down their throats. Now that it is supposed to be the time for non-speculators to jump in and reap the rewards, we get F'd again! I've had bids by me that were rejected over cash offers that were $50k lower than my bid. Man it really feels like we live in some sort of past socialist country like Russia.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889892549117508255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329419642567789295.post-91228363269387894532009-09-07T22:33:26.913-07:002009-09-07T22:33:26.913-07:00Yea, ya pretty much have to have the cash. And you...Yea, ya pretty much have to have the cash. And you better have done your research and made sure there are no liens you may be liable for. I have heard there are people that will float you the money to buy the house until you get a loan. I've not really looked into that though. Probably quite expensive. But if I coulda picked up that house for $270k I'm sure it would have been worth it. <br /><br />I'm seeing a lot of flips hitting the market that were obviously picked up at the auction for cheap. These guys are making a killing right now. One I liked last month was picked up for $370k, listed 30 days later for $469k and went pending in about a week (probably form more than $470k too).golfer_Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426050465032209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329419642567789295.post-77021840486297151262009-09-07T21:51:30.933-07:002009-09-07T21:51:30.933-07:00Do you have any insight on how to bid at auctions?...Do you have any insight on how to bid at auctions?
