Good move! The sooner one can eliminate debt the better life gets

@nooshinjohn , so which red dot is yours again? LOL
Inventory around me is very low, and houses that come up for sale don't stay that way too long, but sell for what I think are insane prices; an 1100 sq ft, 3BR/1bath ranch sold less than 2 years ago for $460k.

I am getting no fewer than 4 calls per week asking me if I would consider selling my home. It's gotten to the point that now they're calling and asking if I would be interested in selling the property my mom owns?!
Anyone else get these calls?

I get those buy your house calls and letters all the time.
Meaningless drivel. They lowball by 50-80k. My wife was
a realtor and can run comps very well. She looks at houses
for sale and constantly tells me when the prices are too high
Or low. Old habits die hard. Nobody fishing for houses for sale
Is going to pay a fair price. They are looking for suckers.

Commercial real estate is in free fall in most cities. A whole lot of store chains
are going under. Malls are dying. That means a lot of banks are going to be in
the hurtwagon. If banks go into duress, getting a loan is going to be tough.

It's pretty much the same here. Our mortgage is 2200 mth our house is 2850sq ft. The neighbor next to us (it's a rental) only 3 bed and about 1900sq ft is paying 2900 in rent. They are building these condos nearby a 3 bed 2k sq ft is 3400 mth in rent...What the actual F. Rent?!?!?!?!

Sometimes that’s the only peace we got when the kids were growing up
