Considering the declined value of the US dollar that would be more like 3b + 1.2b = 4.2 billion dollars. 3 Billion dollars!

That CC doesn't shock me. MY QUESTION! How is Red Fin holding up on cash. I can't imagine you making any in this environment. Not alot of buying going on for the next few years. Will you burn through the cash? How are you going to compete with the 500 Realty model thats opening offices in Kent, Lynnwood, and Des Moines next year? They give 75% to the consumer and only 500 to list. Who's backing them? Just like Zip realty both of your models seem to be inferior. Will you be giving more then 66% soon? Will there be additional funding to Red Fin. ?? Scott an Avid Investor I have been shorting SLM for awhile now and ALL the home builders KBH, LEN, BZH and many lenders including NFI and CFC.
