Wait, shareholders are suing to return dividends? WTF!

I actually rent a SFH with no yard... just a big driveway and some shrubs (which we never touched last summer). In terms of finding rentals, there are a lot of 0 lot line townhome (no shared walls) properties that were built the last 5 years... y…

The NAR has been running their "It's a great time to buy" ads during the NCAA tourney a lot... annoying!

Somewhere, I think the punchline was missed.

Pretty much how I see it, RCC. This last week and change was a delusional rally - "no bad news, everything must be peachy!" I'm waiting for C, AIG, and a few others to start the reverse splits to try and keep their stock price out of penny sto…

P&I on a 0 down loan at 7% would be about $1700/month. Even with taxes, PMI, and a really bad interest rate... no way. Interesting trail of public records... looks like a few refinances.

barista, several of the properties on your list aren't flops. The first one appears to have been a pile of dirty which was parceled into 3 or 4 lots, each with a built-in-2008 house. Probably still a net flop for the builder, but not to the degree…

Pretty much. The luxury tax is an extreme example of why high consumption taxes are a poor revenue source. If taxes are high enough, it justifies traveling to low-consumption-tax areas, whether that be across the river to Oregon, or across the…
