I have many friends who share with me that their bosses are out of their mind. Some would also tell me that their bosses refused to pay them a competitive salary and even the bonus is low every year for the past many years.

Property Investment 101: When there’s a crisis, home prices will drop

When a home owner is worried about potential financial crisis, he is just worried. He does not suddenly decide to sell his property at a super huge discount unless of course the financial crisis has affected his financial standing. For example, loss of income or even a sudden need for cash. This is why not every property is up for sale even during a financial crisis. The good areas, with stable owners, we will find a couple of units up for sale and for these, it’s usually snapped up pretty quickly by people not affected by the financial crisis.
