URI Foundation Donation

Not the most noble reason to make a donation, but URI provided me the education to get out of Rhode Island.
I'm sure Rhode Island is a nice place for many, but 21 years of my life there was enough ! I hope this helps:

Home loans failing at record rates; foreclosures up 257% over Jan. '07

Marc Carpenter, a San Diego real estate agent who specializes in defaults, says sometimes it's better for consumers to go into foreclosure than to keep sinking into debt.

One of those people is Dave Pierce, a veteran real estate agent who recently went into default on a five-bedroom, 3,864-square-foot Torrey Highlands home, which he bought for about $1 million 3½ years ago.

Despite his 30 years in the real estate business, Pierce says he misjudged the market, getting in over his head with financing much like thousands of other San Diegans. He can't refinance his loan because his home is now worth far less than he paid for it. He is seeking permission from his lender to do a short sale, selling the home for $790,000 and repaying less than the full amount of his loan.

I was wondering how many realtors were out there,
so I went to the National Association of Realtors website
Found this Nice table of members

A graph is worth more than a table, so I made one



It looks like 750,000 realtors were enough for several decades.
Now about 1.3 million, almost twice as many as we need ?
