I am seeing some interesting exchanges happening out in the wild world web. Some of them, strange reminders of what I was seeing just before the big real estate bubble popped. Whenever I see one writer get in a very heavy huff over some other personality showing concern about things relating to real estate, I tend to take notice - because it is VERY similar to what was happening back in 2007. Some folks were worried about what was going on in real estate and the reactions were loud and all tended to accuse those folks of fear mongering. Of course, the fear mongers turned out to be right. For those of you that have been listening to me for a while, you know that my concerns are less about real estate specific things causing the next problem and more about things external to real estate. However, there are signs out there - right in the middle of the places that caused so much trouble last time - that mistakes are being repeated. Will take some time to discuss that today.

There is a new way to get yourself into home ownership. A company is offering a service where they purchase the home you want then rent it back to you for some agreed upon period. At the end of that period, you get to buy the home.

While this is a great idea, the concept of doing this yourself has been around forever! For those times when the seller simply cannot afford to rent to you and needs to completely cash out, this service might be good to use. However, there is a much better deal to be had if you can find the right landlord/seller and negotiate the same kind of arrangement yourself! But in that case, all the extra money you save is yours!
