Do you read the daily articles in Yahoo real estate news?  How about DSNews.com?

These are two great real estate sites for keeping up with the everyday news and I happened across two articles today that I thought everyone should know about.  I will link them at the bottom of the page.

I have to admit, I was completely new to the term "extend and pretend" when I first heard it a couple of weeks back.  The investment real estate market, especially here in Memphis, TN. has been helped along by this strategy but also hampered by it. I was reading an article in my local newspaper and was shocked at what I read.  I was so dumbfounded after reading the article that I had to do some research on it before commenting here.
