In spring 2002, ABC’s The Bachelor was a hit, MTV’s The Real World was grabbing its biggest ratings ever, and that network’s The Osbournes became its highest-rated series of all time and a cultural phenomenon (albeit not on the scale of the original Survivor or Who Wants to be a Millionaire).
Whatever the case, reality TV is back with a vengeance -- an indication that whatever “changed” culturally after Sept. 11, the effect was only temporary.

 Reality check - Jun. 1, 2004
The motto of many real estate investors is "you need to borrow money to make money." Not only do many of the real estate investors we profile take out mortgages on their investment properties, they often borrow the money for the down payment and other expenses.
If you buy real estate with the assumption that prices will keep going up at a double-digit pace, you're setting yourself up for disappointment — and possibly foreclosure.
In addition to making sure you can afford the extra mortgage and building a reserve fund, be conservative about how much you borrow from your home equity — particularly if you're borrowing from a home equity line of credit, which is likely to carry a variable interest rate.
