can you spell your crystal ball?  

We skipped on the third day and went to the library for 8-hours and wrote out our business plan and crystalized our vision.

@Crystal SmithLike when people go to the dentist and say " you're charging what?"..

This is just my opinion, I have no actual idea what the future holds for home prices or rent in this market, my crystal ball is in the shop)

I feel we are near the top but I don't have a crystal ball so I just think buying more conservatively will allow investors to ride the wave a lot easier.

Obviously, this is a speculative question and nobody has a crystal ball on this issue, however, I think close consideration of the fundamentals are important in making a decision about this.

I don't like to pretend I have a crystal ball, but if I had to guess, I don't think rates agree going much higher in the next year.

At this time I don’t see any value to owning a landline unless you need a crystal clear connection, you’re located in just one place, and you may wish to take advantage of some of landline’s cheaper or free international calling plans.
