This piece comes right in on the aftermath of a contextual misunderstanding in my own RE career. What amazes me is while fixing the mishap involves repeating back what I know I said the first time - the client agrees to hearing what they know I said the first time. Life and people are funny - I've decided to enjoy them both. www.walidmrealtor.com How true this is! This piece comes right in on the aftermath of a contextual misunderstanding in my own RE career.

I've been guilty of it myself many times. We start as little kids right? When Daddy said 'maybe' we really heard yes. :) I think the Boomers' kids will indeed see that wealth as it passes to the next generation. Their problem is how long we're gonna live. :) My grandma just entered an assisted care home at 94. Up 'till four months ago she was still walking a mile with friends -- twice a day! This doesn't bode well for my kids. :) Chantal — It’s such a commonly seen example of human nature. I’ve been guilty of it myself many times. We start as little kids right?

We were discussing how clients often hold onto certain statements we make during our conversations. We deal with a lot of investment properties and often have to get aggressive to bring in clients. The problem is, no matter what you say, the client WILL hear only the lowest price or the lowest interest rate you quote...even in the loosest of context. You also brought up another good point about investing in real estate. With the baby boomers hitting retirement (80% of this countries wealth hanging up their hats), the younger generation are going to have to start looking to real estate investments over their 401k's and other annuation funds. The money is just not going to be around for those in their 20's and 30's now. Just like your client, it's never too late to start looking at investment strategies. Better late than never.

Simply put, he gets it. He's also the most knowledgeable mortgage guy I've met in person. This story is indicative of the sort of expertise and added value our clients enjoy with Brian on board.

(That's what I asked) The strategy appears aggressive until you realize that the rental income could pay off the home, albeit over a 30 year period, but it services the debt, nonetheless. Let me digress to my old training. If you could buy bonds with and 8% yield, and borrow money, locked in at 7%, why wouldn't you borrow as much as possible. The financing strategies we're pursuing in TX are awfully "old skool" but they're working...REALLY well. How is positive cash flow, with a fully-amortized loan, aggressive?
