Real Estate Will Always Have Value. Ahem… , we all saw real estate fall in 2008, 2009 and 2010 – but do you believe that it is now on the rebound? Some believe that we are in for an even bigger real estate bust in the 2014 – 2016 years. Are you snapping up property at low interest rates?

Although we think of the Great Recession starting in early 2009, it wasn’t until 2013 that the 5 year CD interest rate fell below 1% – and has stayed there ever since according to Bank Rates interest survey data. Financial moves in a low interest rate economy. Pretty much nothing. Investing requires financial backing.

I was questioning whether, with the sad state of the real estate market, throwing money at my second mortgage was really the intelligent thing to do, since I don't know whether I'll ever get that money back (I'm thinking not). I got some really good (and thought provoking) comments on that blog post.
