Very good article--one of the better ones I've read. However, I still think that when the fear begins to subside and unemployment begins to drop, that people will realize SOMEONE has to own the property they are living in. Why pay rent to a landlord and pad his/her pocket when you can pad your own? Owning real estate is still the number one way to get rich--just ask Donald Trump. Yes, there are ups and downs, but as Americans, I believe we have the capacity to recover from our mistakes. I just went to a 15-year mortgage at 3.75% and I couldn't be happier about my decision, even though the value of my home has dropped. I will still have SOMETHING to live in (or off of) at retirement, and it will be paid for. Kimberly Davis Village Real Estate/Nashville
Teresa, thank you for this article! When my business started to suffer, I got lazy, started sleeping in late, and couldn't figure out why my business got even worse. Awhile ago, I got back on a regular work schedule. Get up early, read my Bible, pray/meditate, work out, then go about the business of being a full-time Realtor. My business has exploded!! I am going to post your article over my desk to keep a reminder of how to keep on track. Thank you for all your great input--you always have something timely to say.

Wow, what a great article! Tara-Nicholle is right on. It's so difficult to understand how and why we could still be getting these questions from people who just don't "get it." But it's our job to educate them the best we can--not just tell them no, but point them to people who can help them get where they want to be. I find a good start is always one of Dave Ramsey's books.
