RE RE RE RE:Oh dearMy text was lost with my previous post... I just wanted to say there are many reasons why someone would want to sell to crystalize a capital loss.. Lots of deals going on that I wouldn't base my short thesis on assuming these real estate deals you are posting on here represent dire straits. I know a lot of people and I doubt very much that any of them have a mortgage on their primary residence. On our rental properties, sure. To the MAX. Why? Because we can write off the interest paid on the mortgage as a ddeduction to our rental income. Therefore, we pay less tax.
So "Dr" you just sound like a jealous renter who trolls twitter for these listings (tweeted by other disgruntled renters who missed the boat). Sad.
