<\/p>\n

From <\/span>Mike “Mish” Shedlock at SitkaPacific Capital Management comes this great piece on winning a home.<\/p>\n

Those attending the iProperty.com International Property Expo in Singapore, to learn about “the best property in Asia” can win a free house by attending. <\/span><\/p>\n

Guess where the house is located.<\/span><\/p>\n

One might think somewhere in Asia because that’s the focus of the expo. But No! The free house is located in the mother of all choice spots, Detroit, Michigan.<\/p>\n

Check out the image.
<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note the creative description: “Yes, it\u2019s true we are giving away a home! This is a gorgeous 3 bedroom brick home located in an excellent neighbourhood just a stone\u2019s throw away from key facilities like the Triumph Hospital and the Bel Air Shopping Centre. It boasts a garage and basement and has just been newly furnished. It\u2019s Freehold Landed U.S property with 3 bedroom and 1 bathroom. A lot size of 4,225 sq ft with Garage, basement and tenant included! This property has a net selling price US $38,000.<\/em>“<\/span><\/p>\n

Is this ad supposed to entice people to attend or scare them away?<\/p>\n

It’s Too Late<\/strong><\/p>\n

The iProperty promotion clearly needs a nice corresponding “better buy now before it’s too late” message.
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

I think it’s too late.
\nIn fact I know it’s too late.
\nHow do I know?
\nWhen you see stuff like this, not only is it too late, it’s way too late.<\/span><\/p>\n
