“The end is near!” No, I am not talking about the end of the world (I hope!). I am talking about the securitized investment /cdo debacle which has precipitated this monumental drop in value in the real estate market.
Are we near the bottom? While I do not know any respected real estate investor or financial guru who is willing to call it – you must wonder?! Last week the Bank of Australia decided to mark their paper down to 10 cents on the dollar. Today, Merrill Lynch has tried to draw a line in the sand at 22 cents on the dollar. THESE FOLKS WANT THIS PROBLEM BEHIND THEM! It will still take months and even years to reconcile this mess – but at least these lenders are finally admitting… “I can not tell a lie. It was I who cut down the cherry tree.”
As a real estate investor, now is the time. Get your financial ammunition loaded up and get ready to fire. Whether you are a onesy-twosey, or blind or specified pool type, take heart. The end is near…
