Buy! Mark Twain once said to buy land because they aren't making any more of it! One area to explore is vacation home buying with a group! I know many groups that rent homes for the season at the Jersey Shore, Why not buy? Low interest rates and low home prices make it a good time to explore this avenue.

If you have money and a secure job, why not. I think most people are nervous that their job wont last to support the investment and rightfully so.

I know they are nervous, we are finding a lot of buyers are looking for good deals, low cost, and in great condition.

I love the quotation - Mark Twain or Samuel Clemens had a great sense of humor and his one line zinger rank up there on my all time list.

I've used quotes from Zig Ziglar as well to convey the need to have a winner's mentality and step up to the plate.

thanks I will have to check that out. As a volunteer for the Red Cross and retired teacher, I have put the " for the good of the client" attitude in front. Today's market is so crazy and our clients are so unsure of how to proceed that I try to be a source of information so they can make an educated decision, I am hoping and only time will tell, that this will inspire trust which will bring more clients.

Hi Janice,

I goggled Twain and got his quotes, I had remembered something about the land and wasn't sure. I goggle everything now. Complicated OMG just using the internet, not sure if I am getting more done or just doing more.
