Sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield joke. Great punch line, don’t you think?

It was a joke, of course, and he exaggerated for effect but the joke was a big hit with the dog group in the park.

I laughed hard and told it to multiple people that day.

This sounds like it might be the truth for this price range. If it were a true story and in the price range in the 190K-225K the truthful statement would have to be I live in a home I bought for 189K and it’s on the market for 52K and not selling, I wonder how much it will drop when it goes to auction, the neighbors house had a mortgage of 225K and it sold at auction at 52K. What is happening the homes over 500K are getting hit at 40% but the low end homes are getting slaughtered. Yep even in these times the rich lose less and the poor lose more at least percentage wise.

This is funny but when I first read it, I thought of a listing I came across recently where the owner is a Realtor and short selling their home. They want to stay in the home and rent it out - so they prefer an investor. In effect, the person downsizes their mortgage to a simple rent payment that is likely half the cost.
I wrote about it at LortiHomesBlog.
It is almost like a new product in the marketplace - ‘just short sell your home and become a tenant in your own home for half the price!’
