Barry:

You are way to charitable and well mannered…..

Once housing hits bottom I’ll be there to scoop up incredible deals on income properties for my portfolio. Hopefully the timing will be right and I’ll leverage them all up just as the inflation wave takes off so the mortgages will become real cheap and easy to pay off. Borrowing for tangible assets is the 2 pronged approach needed to beat inflation. I don’t want to be a victim of Kenysian Economics, Obamanomics or any other misguided, corrupt theories. Inflation is coming and will redistribute wealth like nobody’s business… acting at the right time is the key.
