INFURIATING...
I was out showing property to clients today and one of the properties that I showed was a short sale. For those of you not up on short sales it is a property where the owner bought the property for lets say $500k and now the houses in the neighborhood only sell for $450k so the bank will have to take a $50k+ loss. I have some empathy for these people because they may have been taken advantage of but most of them just bought more than they can afford. The usual "Keeping Up With The Jone's" scenario. What really made me IRATE today was when I went to show the property and the owner rolls up in her BRAND NEW MERCEDES SUV with all of the extras (chrome brush gard and all). It wasn't like the car was two years old. It was a new model. You can't pay your F'ing mortgage and are killing our economy so you can drive around in your luxury SUV. It took everything I had to restrain my self from ripping the lady a new one. Why do we have to pay for you to keep up your image that is clearly all a facade? I think the banks should start repo'ing these things to make up for their losses. It totally pisses me off. I hope this Woman enjoys her 7-10 years of destroyed credit.
Ok. I feel better now. I needed to vent...
