[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 522627, member: 7185"] Ahhh. Good point. And well said, sir. I went looking for unemployment figures on the Web last night. Chicago's unemployment is about 9.5%. The Metroplex is about 6.9%. I was thinking about a week-long trip to Texas to job search but my mother talked me out of it. Up until 2007, real-estate was the 'safest' place to park money. I'm not sure it'll be the same story for many years. I'd buy a house both for a Home and as an investment. LOL. You know anyone hiring?? If I had a job, I'd be looking. About three weeks before I left Denver to start that job in North Dakota, I was walking somewhere and went by a place with brochures out, advertising a house for sale. I saw my aunt later on that day and she saw me idly looking through the brochure. She said, "I thought you had a job in North Dakota?" I chuckled and said, "I do. If I didn't, I'd have to restrain myself from getting on the phone to this realtor first thing Monday morning." I showed her the brochure, she gave a low whistle and said, "Wow. I don't blame you. Good neighborhood and an amazing price!" Its very, very tempting, Rod. I've looked into 'distressed properties.' If I had a REASON to stick around here--like a job ;)--I'd very seriously consider buying a house. And not one of those condos, either. My uncle bought one of those from his parents and regretted it. I was told it was the first to lose value and the last to gain it. No, I'd go into a house. [B][I][U]Satellite[/U][/I][/B]....how's three acres, a dog and a Chevy 4X4 sound? LOL -Rocky [/QUOTE]
