Golden Age to Dark Ages


When I started in Real Estate it was the "Golden Age". Phones rang, buyers looked, multiple offers came, lenders loaned, sellers sold and life was good. After 4 years I have seen a lot. Today is a whole new age. Granted we have very low rates and now homes are more affordable than ever but what happened?

Credit is good, but does it become a false sense of security? When everything is bought on credit who ends up paying. The banks do. But what happens when the banks aren't paid? Well then the feds buy them. Where does the fed get this money? It is a trillion dollar question? Ultimately, it is you and me, joe and jane taxpaper. 

Is this right?
