Are there any bold ideas for the housing market?

There are two things that need to happen to help restart the housing industry: Houses that are in foreclosures have to be sold, and folks have to have a job that will pay their bills and help them keep their homes out of foreclosure.

On October 2, 2010, we’ll host How To Profit From Foreclosures 2010, which will feature top foreclosure and short sale experts as well as the pros you need to add to your team, including brokers, lenders, tax experts, lawyers and others. Join us for our special “After Hours” event at 3:30 where top financial planner Kay Shirley and bestselling author and Registered Investment Advisor Dan Solin will discuss what’s going on in the stock market and what you need to do to keep pace with an unpredictable stock market.
