A price on a home nowadays is completely plastic and an imaginary number. Reality has nothing to do with Realty these days, Watch out.

What's up with the infomercials encouraging us to take advantage of foreclosed properties? The bottom line is that if a for sale sign is not in the yard the home is not for sale under any circumstances.Banks sometimes hold onto those properties for years before considering selling them.A person has to have political connections to aquire the "steals" that the infomercials speak of.
