virtual home ownership has captured the imagination of a
growing number of online gamers, who are plunking down real
cash for their own slice of the digital frontier.

The Real Estate Game
09/08/2004 08:51 AMSome of you have purchased homes before, so you know a bit about how
the process works: Mortgage Approval, Appraisals, Surveys, Title
Searches, Purchase Agreements, Stipulation Sheets, Closing, Whining,
Bickering, Signing 1,000,000 pages, Moving, blah blah blah... Even
though it's a scary thought when you first start, and you've probably
heard enough horror stories to not want to go through the process,
it's really not that bad. It's actually pretty easy if you take a
little time and learn about it. It makes more sense than most college
curricula, and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Literally
anyone can play the game if they have a dedication to making things
happen. This is an introduction to real estate investing using my 4
years of personal experience as a guide. While all of my experience
has been on the U.S. side of the pond, I'm sure enough of this
information will apply to everyone to make it worthwhile. (This was
originally submitted as a diary at the other site)
Real Estate Commissions are Too Low
Real Estate Commissions are Too Low
06/22/2005 02:23 AMPeople who sell $1 million condos often complain that paying a 6
percent standard (read "fixed by collusion" among realtors) commission
is too much ($60,000 for what might only be a few days of work).
Economists who have studied the real estate market, however, find that
in some ways the commission is too low because realtors don't work
very hard to sell clients' houses compared to their personal
houses. In other words they sell a customer's house relatively
cheap so that it will sell quickly rather than work for many weeks to
get the best price and 6% of the extra.
Why haven't we seen anyone propose a commission structure that says
the realtor gets a 25% commission... but only on the amount above the
assessed value of the property? Your typical $1 million NY or
Boston apartment is assessed at maybe $850,000 and could be sold for
that price with almost no effort in a few days so the commission paid
on such a sale shouldn't be more than $1000. If a realtor could
sell the place for $1.2 million via clever marketing, however, she
should be entitled to a fat commission.

Look closely at the third photo from the bottom on this realtor's

to notice two dogs humping

of highly sophisticated subliminal advertising strategies in the real

"I

Spencer's slaying
of eight school children and a principal at an elementary school

not an urban

seeking a bailout. The company lacks business focus and now it appears
it wants to add mortgage-backed securities (aka MBS) into the mix. I
wouldn't own AETH for a long-term position unless I had a high
appetite for risk and cared to roll the dice on a takeout or some
"white knight" funding. To expect funding from a savior seems like a
long shot, because white knights have their own problems these days.
