Such an odd concept to some.


Years ago, had a friend that wanted a surefire investment. I suggested he only sell property to people that couldn't afford to make the payments. Even he wasn't hard hearted enough for that scheme. Evidently a lot of bankers weren't so squeamish, especially with government backing the loans. That whole deal didn't work out so well in the end either.
