>>>Buying real estate, now that is the way to go<<<

Well, if you are into bargains, they are out there right now... They just reported on the Sheriff sale of properties in Sussex County here. 46 properties up for auction - 1 sold.

The other 45 were returned to the banks. They will be soon going to great lengths to unload them.

I just have a hard time getting enthused in buying foreclosed homes... It would leave a ‘blood money’ feeling in the pit of my stomach. I know, someone will buy them - but I would rather sleep well not having that to think about.

I'm sure our area hasn't hit the bottom yet. So I'd want to wait a while myself.

I know what you mean. Not all are people that were irresponsible. We know of one that the guy put $100K down (from the sale of another home) and lost his job. So he lost all that money and his home as well. Very sad.
