Real Estate as a hedge against inflation instead of a wealth building tool! Different strokes for different folks! I’m glad Robert said it but I was definately thinking it!

After weighing options some feel better only putting in 25% (since that's the point where interest rates take a big drop) but some still feel like paying all cash. I'm a realtor, I sell. I may say "Hey, did you think about this or that?" But I don't turn away someone because he has a different philosophy than me. And besides, most of my clients have net worths 10 to 50 times mine. Sometimes I shut up and listen to them. :) Robert - As a professional investment realtor I can advise but I also have to keep in mind it’s not my money.

Okay, this is a polite forum but I couldn't help myself. Zero leverage is every bit as bad an investment plan as is excessive leverage. Pardon my French but cash buyers are idiots.

Some smart person once intoned "lenders lend." I'm pleased that for the first time in years the lifeguards have put up the float barrier so only the good swimmers are allowed in the deep end.
