@Bawldguy I was the clown at those rodeos! You are also so right about Investing according to core business principles – people got to get back to the idea that you have to invest something to get a return.

@Charleston and TJ Thanks for the kind words.

@Larry That’s the absolute truth, Eh!

@Greg La De Da De Da and the beat goes…and so do we

@Dl Swanepoel Thanks – we need to stay on the bull and refrain from shooting the bull!

@Monika – One of my favorite sayings, and one that needed to be remembered to avoid congestive heartburn (again)

This is my second Rodeo…it always repeats itself doesn’t it.

I and many other REALTORS, used to say Dear Lord Please give me an other real estate boom and this time I won’t p**s it all away! LOL..I learned my 1st lesson well.
What goes up always comes back down.

My favorite line because its so true: “Learn to meld old techniques with new technology to reach the audience of potential consumers who need your guidance. And learn more about the business as a core human need, and how it affects your buyers.” Well said. All Realtors should aspire to ride that bull for as long as possible; those tips are excellent and the analogy to a rodeo is great. Keep ‘em coming:)

Everyone forgets that we are in a repeating cycle. This is my second down cycle and I don’t see it being any worse than the last one.

It will change and when it does very few people will notice until the up cycle is in full swing and everybody has forgotten the down cycle.

and the beat goes on

Bill,

This is “good hay” for those who have forgotten or never knew that a bronk will give you a long ride for many years if you feed and water it every day.

Bill: That post is a full 8 seconds on the toughest bull in the corral: a 100 point article. Once we stop daytrading our houses, and start purchasing them as a home, hearth and refuge from an ever more turbulent world, we will be on our way to a more sustainable housing market.

Absofrickin’lutely. You said, Remind home buyers that they are buying a home, not an investment.

That one change in thinking would alter so much behavior for the better.

I would add on the investor side, it’s ok now to invest in very carefully researched growth regions. NOT ‘fad’ regions, but where real growth is happening in real time, with real jobs, etcs.

I figured out where I knew you, Bill. It was at the previous rodeos.
