Amazing how stacked the real estate industry is against the buyer. Realtors, appraisers, mortgage lenders, lawyers, even home inspectors, sugar-coating the deal to keep it moving forward.... so EVERYONE can get paid.

In the early 90's I saw/met many bankrupt real estate investors bidding at auctions. Housing could be had for 10 cents on the dollar; cash was king. Having seen the top, the failed investors knew they had to get back in (at the bottom).

Put your seat belts on!
