Very true... Clearly a sign of the Malinvestments being made in our credit bubble...

I talked to someone the other day about the situation in Orange Beach, Alabama... He said (as you'd expect) the "investors" he knows have gotten zip in vacation rental income since the September hurricane hit... plus, many new condo owners are now looking at $25K to $30K in special assessments to cover rebuilding costs...

So this area may be amongst the first shoes to drop...

We have mailed a letter summarizing the results of the board meeting and included the individual invoices for the special assessment.

Just judging from S. Cal., where rents haven't risen much if it all, I wonder what will happen when the speculators can't sell, and the realization hits them that they can't rent out at a high enough return to cover the mortgage payments? Looks like a lot of looming defaults, with less shelter in bankruptcy available.
