That house is definitely overpriced, but Hinsdale is an insanely expensive market. A 2,000 Sq. Ft. 60 year old victorian with 3 car runs around 1M to 2M. Hinsdale is near dead center between Aurora and Chicago.

Hey everyone, I think I'm going fishing out at the lake. In the no wake zones I think I'll use my Minn Kota TROLLing motor. See poo, pick up poo, throw!

Good post, if not debatable. I ask again though, how many other ETers are buying foreclosures? I've seen stuff in the Midwest go for 40% below appraisal value while needing very little turn-around refurbishing. Every market has options for making money. Where there is an exchange of money...

Las Vegas out west is getting pounded, Southern Florida is at a near stand still. As far as the midwest goes, only the Rust Belt is getting hit. Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, etc, etc. Chicago and St Louis experienced similar growth during the housing boom as the rest of the country, but still aren't...

My take? People shouldn't buy shit they don't need, and cannot afford. My home is probably worth slightly less than what it was last year, but then again I'm not selling anytime soon, and I could buy my house with cash if I absolutely had to. (I paid cash for a lot of it when I was building)...

To Paper Trade, Or Not to Paper Trade...? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1652154#post1652154 is that the question? In regards to which broker to use for paper trading:
