Saturnfan,

it is a real shame, because he took hook, line, sinker, and rod and reel.

And he IS a very nice feller.

I work out in the gym between 3-6 AM daily and it's amazing the kind of real estate get rich schemes that abound on wee hours TV.

Homes for $100 tax liens. Sure you'll get one in a great area for that.

Once saw HUD selling a house on my grandparents' old block, Atkins Ave Booklyn, for 50 bucks. In the East New York neighborhood where this was located, 50 bucks was way too much. You'd need an Abrams tank to protect your home and family.

Shame good folks like the one you mentioned really believe this garbage.

Default forced

No is forced to buy a home.
no one is forced to buy an overly large home.
No one is forced to keep up with the jones
....to have granite counters
.....12 inches of crown molding in every room
....to buy a new vs resale home


Yet it happens. If noone buys the home it will sit, be reduced, sit, and then maybe sold with non public upgrades (=reduced more).

Or it gets rented
or it goes to foreclosure


this is how EVENTUALLY you get to real market value but no builder wants to go through this (and no buyer/owner too).
