LOL- Regardless of some bad investment decisions last year I still have the AMG... however the novelty of owning an 'elite' sports car (since it's one of my 3 vehicles) has worn off and I've decided to sell it. I'm making major revisions to my debt to income ratio in preparation to purchase another piece of real estate. The next 6-12 months is the optimum time to invest in property. We should see some progress with Fed interest rate decreases and increased stability within the housing market. Don't expect the boom we saw over 2001-2005 but it should be a more gradual stable climb.
