then maybe if it's so easy you should just start real estate speculating yourself. forget this IT/management, get in on a real estate firm, because if you know how all this works you can find real good money working real estate.
the condos are only worth what people will pay for them. if nobody was waiting to buy them at 400,000 there would be no investors buying them at 2. there is no moral or ethical obligation to house people in your houses, if you want them to sit on your balance sheet there's nothing wrong with that. and if what you're saying is true, then at some point the house of cards falls and you get a luxury condo for 98K in a foreclosure auction.
If only I was born 8 years earlier I could've had the top level penthouse suite in a waterfront condo in Bremerton for 450K, now it's worth 2.5 million. but when the market crashes again, I got money and employment potential. so why buy a condo today at 200 if in a few years you think the market will collapse, because then you'll have it for 90K. You need to start thinking of how to adapt to the system instead of demanding your MP adapt it to you, that will always be more lucrative in the end.
and stop with this "Work-life stuff" you see the pictures I post on the member pics thread? does it look like I don't have any life ? having money is why I can take vacations to Missouri, and Montana, and Canada, and tour the coast, and do everything I like to do, I do not lack work life balance. I simply put more in the work column, because in 25 to 30 years I won't have my health, so actually burning down the work fuse early in life to stockpile money is the smart thing to do. if you don't have any children now's the time to work and work like sled dog.
