I never thought I …
I never thought I could feel anger towards somebody seeking sympathy, but this lady has accomplished it. A RE agent making $140k during the housing bubble, buys up investment properties, and now has to function in a slowing economy. Hold back the tears. RE agents are pieces of shit. Uneducated, lazy, overcharging pieces of shit. I hope they all end up broke like her.

Mushu, you’re right …
Mushu, you’re right about needing to live within your means. And ARMs suck. But $40,000 depends on where you live. Where I live, it doesn’t even count as middle class. It doesn’t mean you’re high maintenance, it means you don’t live in a cheap part of the country. New York City is more expensive overall than Mississippi for example.

She is a realtor …
She is a realtor that just expected to keep having her same income, and not planning for a lack of income. The Real Estate industry usually always makes money.

Second and third mortgages and equity loans are the problem .

I wouldn’t call Stacie a real estate ‘professional’. She should have called Suze to ask ‘can I afford it’ before buying the pool—HA!

She is just stupid Real State Agent. She has been a RS agent for 10 years, I am sure she had experience low and down on the markets, She should anticipated the market will go down, and be preparefor it as a professional. She shaould have follow the market close. ONe question that I have if hse is in that trauble, how many people she put on the same trauble.
