Doesn't that smack of the DotBomb.com business of a few years ago?  There is 
a [sort of] documentary flick, available at chain rental places, called 
'StartUp.Com'.  
It shows the results of thinking new wealth was suddenly rising up like a 
mist out of the ground.  The present model of real estate owners continually 
trading up and paying off the previous real estate purchase with the 
increasing 
equity in the new purchase is the same paradigm.  Both agents and buyers (and 
sellers) appear on paper to be racking up vast amounts of wealth, just as the 
DotBomb investors and operators seemed to have been doing.

Gene's "Missouri or Bust' plan might prove to be very savvy indeed.
