Thanks for the boosting there Jeff, I appreciate it.

Also as an aside, your comment on heavyweight/pants helped inspire me to complete a post I’d been kicking around for a while. http://tinyurl.com/24d2yc

Thanks Athol – successfully navigating The Feed Bag’s quality control filter makes my weekend!

Readers – Athol’s blog has two recurring themes, besides solid daily real estate content.

1. The daily ‘worst MLS Picture’ which is a reliable laugh.

2. The Feed Bag – which points you to what Athol judges are the best posts of the day.

Austin – Thanks, it’s a great time for oozing.

I wonder how many thousands of lives have been saved because of the incessant chirping?

Readers – I’ve said it before, but go to my blogroll and click on Real Estate Wives – you won’t be sorry. Austin has also recently been added to BloodhoundBlog’s lineup of real estate heavyweights.

No, really Lani, I didn’t mean that literally. Those pants look fine.

Jeff, what I love about your blog (namely this particular article) is your clear expertise that OOZES from your writing.

The ladder analogy is great- we all have to take some sort of risk that is calculated at some time. In Real Estate, there are numerous factors to consider before climbing that ladder, but DANG does it feel good when you have working detectors that don’t squeal every 30 seconds (oh, and that sweet profit when a well executed plan succeeds)!

Hey Cher – Thanks for the kind words and for summarizing so well what most investors don’t realize – it’s not the mechanics, it’s knowing where to tap.

Jeff, I really agree with you about “bad markets weeding out the do-it -yourselfers”
There are so many facets to being successful..credit rating, when to sell, when to buy, what to buy, what loan to get, how much to buy, how to NOT panic during a bad market, when to refinance, who to use as a lender, on and on.
An investor needs a guide whose seen all the markets and knows which stategy to use in which market.
This is an especially tricky market right now requiring a pro for guidance.
The path of wealth has so many land mines. No matter how much you have, or how much you think you know, you are so correcty we investors need you to hold that ladder for us.
Very good post. I like the analogy of the danger of purseing safety for the family only to crash and burn by not working smart.
