Securing loans is one thing. The hard part is securing profits on your "investment".

I think we all agreed rentals can't cover the mortgage even at record low BLR. Even agents will admit this.

Now, then the only way to make a profit is find another sucker to take it off your hands for a higher price.

As a very famous trader once said:

"When you sit at the trading terminal you look for the sucker. When you don’t see one, it’s you.  In this case it was me."

Mark Cuban (millionaire trader who lost millions on Facebook stock).

So, since prop investment has reduced to be trading, how many suckers you think are left to buy? 

Now there's always a danger in changing your mind on something after a gigantic rally, because that looks like "capitulation" and that usually happens at the top, and then you're made to look like a fool twice. First you end up looking like a fool for being negative at the bottom. Then you look like a fool for changing your mind at the top. You see this kind of thing happen all the time, because humans are herders, and it's difficult to have contrary opinions, especially in markets where the price moves against you daily.

Yup tinking and hoping bt times will give out sum firesales and for me to grab... it already unsustainable.. the more rampant and freely the prop price go.. the worse our future be.. we be bind by debts forever.. I just want house which is affordable to me..
