Well as if the edge was not enough with speaking on stage, meeting great people, helping put people into the right mind set about only doing deals where everyone wins! Even thou I was sick as a dog on stage I would not have missed it for the world. We have been doing a rehab in Paso Robles Ca. for the last two months. We helped a family get out of the deal because the son had a heart attack after mom was placed in a home. Wife told him to get it gone before it killed him.

EDGE 2014 is in the record books for another one of Dean's events that will change lives! Heck, I might even say it will change generations! It will change neighborhoods and I believe will even have a positive impact on the economy by DGers doing one house, one deal at a time coast to coast!!!

Multiple articles and blog posts are telling us that home prices are rising in many areas of the country, making home purchases unaffordable for many buyers. Some of the cities where price increases have been most noticeable include:
• Las Vegas at 24.9%
• San Francisco at 23.1%
• San Diego at 19.4%
• Los Angeles at 18.9%
• Atlanta at 16.8%
• Other cities include Denver, Miami and Portland
An article at Nuwire states that nationwide some 33.6% of homes are unaffordable for buyers making median income. Even when they can afford a home, many buyers are finding themselves outbid for the best available. Some lenders are moving back to less-than-optimal loan types and lower down payments to aid home buyers … a little of the past perhaps coming back to haunt us.

Buying Cheaper than Renting
Currently home ownership is still 38% cheaper than renting, though the gap is narrowing. Some analysts estimate that interest rates will need to reach 10.6% before the gap closes. This is a national average, and it varies considerably in local markets. In Honolulu, it’s just 5% cheaper, while it’s 66% cheaper than renting in Detroit.

Subprime Lending Back on the Scene
A group of small lenders are bringing subprime loans back into the mortgage market. These loans are being offered to buyers who pose a credit risk, typically those with credit scores below 640. They’re not cheap loans though. Interest rates are as high as 8% to 10%, and down payments are required to be in the neighborhood of 25% to 35%.
