Even the "gravy train" has a final "stop"...

...and we're there. I have a mortgage, and a secured line of credit at fixed rates. I haven't utilized the line of credit, and have the money to pay-off the mortgage any day of the week, but I'll probably never be able to borrow money at that rate again (during my lifetime). I liquidated a lot of real-estate assets, largely divested myself from the market, and am sitting on cash--which isn't earning shit--right now.

Interest is up (and it will keep climbing), the market is down ~1000 pts yesterday--the bartender is clearing the glasses and making last-call. A year from now (when all of the variable-rate re-fi's start setting-in), I'll get back in the game. Last I read, foreclosures are up 32% over last year, but housing prices haven't dropped yet, due to demand. It will all "catch up" next year. I'll just wait and watch.
