If you're flipping, hey... go for it. Thats all market timing and speed of transaction. If you're building, strap in. Everybody involved in the process knows the money is cheap these days, and they're going to pad every cost imaginable and grab every goddamned nickel from you. Repping developers is what almost drove me to resign without even a new job. But I stuck with it for the good feeling of helping a developer fuck over the bank, his contractors, his tenants and everybody else who got near him. Real nice business. Everybody's bankruptcy and loan workout counsel is a red telephone line away. I wish you well. I hope you make a fortune. Anyone who can hack that business deserves everything he can get.
No, the Porsche doesn't handle well on building sites. Try the Benz 4Matics.

good points all. I shall report back. I might flip, I might build. I might build one lot, sell, build the next. I look forward to fucking over the bank, the contractors, the tenants (actually it would be buyers) and everybody else who got near him.
either which way I have to do something. else. I can't do this for another 35 years. Plus as Slave knows, I still harbour bitterness about the bar deal I got fucked out of and need to clean the taste of cowpies out of my mouth.
