We Buy Ugly Homes
Was it just about a year and a half ago that we would see billboards all over the highway...we buy ugly houses.
Well, now I would expect a sign to read....we'll even buy beautiful homes for very little money.
But no....these signs are non-existent...because times have changed. Yep. it all started with the housing market.
Everybody'sgreat American dream...homeowner. But who can blame. We all like to have a covering over our heads.
They made it so easy to own a home...no down payment....no nothing...just interest. That sounds so great.
But now our country is in doldrums. Banks have run out of operating capital...and they're not really interested in owning homes..that's not their business.
Maybe if I was young and had some available cash...I would fall for some of these schemes....but I'm too old to even consider for a second.
Obama has surrounded himself with some of the best heads in the country.
Can they come up with a solution...or do they know just as much as you and I.
I'm glad I own my little villa here in High Point...I have no debt. Thank G0d.
I pray every night that the unemployed with find jobs...that's so humiliating...and frustrating...and makes a person lose confidence in himself.
I would like to set the calendar back to the 90's when technology doubled and tripled our portfolios.
I guess just plain old greed got in the way...and I'm part of it. What would really make my day is to see a giant billboard.....WE buy Ugly Houses. I often wondered what an ugly house is...was the kitchen where the bathroom should be...were the stairs in the wrong place leading to nowhere. Did they still have coal burning stoves....did they have ice boxes instead of refrigerator.....rabbit ears on their tv...if they had tv.
Did you have to go thru one room to get to another one. Was it painted bright purple? What could make it so ugly. Anyway...I want to see that billboard one again...and then I'll know that times are stable.
