Real Estate Gets Sick But It Doesn’t Die


Many of you out there will recognize this saying so beloved of those in the GCC.

  2. How long the convalescence is.

Sadly, each time his stack of chips seems to get smaller.

Here's a link to some other stories detailing how one can make a small fortune in the real estate business. As another old saying goes, the first step for many is to start with a large fortune. Link here.
