OK, pretend you're a realtor...

Nooo, not the part about having been a failure in your past careers so you ended up slinging houses...

Noooooo, not the part about having no understanding of economics or business...

Nooooooooo, not the part about being embarrassed to admit what you do for a living...

No, for today's exercise, simply pretend you're a realtor, and tell us why we should buy a $600,000 1-bedroom "luxury condo" in Miami, San Diego, DC, Boston, Tampa, OC, Sacramento, Phoenix or any other of our favorite bubble cities.

Tell us why we should buy that depreciating debt-trap even though it's significantly cheaper to rent.

Tell us why we should invest in real estate and not in stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, cd's or any other asset class.

Tell us why you think the crash is over, and the media is just making it all up.

Have at it. Convince us. Give us your 21 reasons. Or hell, just one.

Good luck!
