No, Homebuilder, you are “spot on”! You are taking a very realist (see “life rule” below) approach – if you buy speculating that prices will rise and they don’t that’s a chance you take…and , no, it’s not the builder’s fault! I wish anyone that knowingly speculates the best of luck…just as I do fellow blackjack players – but it’s not my cup of tea!
Life Rule #3: “An optimist says the glass is half-full, the optimist says it’s half empty. The Realist says that’s it’s just twice as big as it needs to be!”
