Symbolic only.

Tim, I think you just hit the jackpot!!!!!!

Does anyone own any Farmer Mac stock, I am not sure what the ticker symbol is.

JACKPOT I thought.

You have hit the JACKPOT of resources for real estate investors.

I am not looking for some jackpot.

Radon is a chemical element with symbol Rn and atomic number 86.

Granted, there will be exceptions where a person could hit the jackpot with the 2% rule (there was another thread about people and their success with 2%+ properties).. but the majority of 2%+ properties seem to be pains.

Anyone who invests in anything knows there is a saying that goes something like this"whether you are bearish or bullish on [insert ticker symbol, market index, real estate, etc], you will be right sooner or later - the question is when"People who are bearish on real estate just keep pushing the year further and further out, until finally they see a pullback that is large enough to say "I told you so" when in all actually, I personally believe that todays highs will still be higher than next years lows.

Silll, buying a home that you do not enjoy and that does not make sense as an investment will likely be a painful waste of money unless you hope to hit the appreciation jackpot, in which case you're gambling and not investing.
