If anyone is interested in looking at the actual listings for the real estate that's for sale, they can go to www.citywithsol.com, then click on "Search the MLS" on the left, and enter the MLS number at the bottom of the screen. There are usually pictures, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-1149178548956983422006-06-01T09:15:00.000-07:002006-06-01T09:15:00.000-07:00At least for the properties that were vacant for t...At least for the properties that were vacant for the holding period, it seems obvious to also add in the holding costs (say, an average of 90% LTV at an average of 6%, since most "investors" probably bought using multiple "creative" loans) and inflation effects (say, at 4%/year). So, in a sample house that lost 10% of its value just in terms of the buy vs. selling prices over the past year, that loss would more than double when the holding and inflation costs are figured in as well. And on a cash-on-cash basis, it could be astronomical: a $550k house that was purchased for 10% ($50k) down and sold a year later for $500k would actually lose the speculator a combined total of $500k (selling price) - $40k (realtor fees and other closing costs of the sale) - $30k (one year's interest) - $20k (inflation effects) - $10k (one year's real estate taxes) - $550k (cost basis) - $10k (unrecoverable closing costs of the buy) = $160k. So our hypothetical speculator lost over 3x his/her original cash investment. In short, the magical leverage that magnifies gains also magnifies losses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25213986.post-1148888047133238712006-05-29T00:34:00.000-07:002006-05-29T00:34:00.000-07:00Great job, keep tracking, will help us understabd ...Great job, keep tracking, will help us understabd whats happenning on the real ground and cut through the crapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
