LOL, agreed - that's what many people did during the housing boom and happy years of easy credit. Why put 20% down on a home when you can use OPM (other people's money), and then flip the house a year down the road for $100K? My blood still curdles hearing of stories of no-down, $150K payoffs. Then again, I hear the other side of the market: buying a $1.5M home on an option only loan only to find out it's worth 3/4 that within two years...

I expected interest rates to at least come up, esp. with auto loans. If anything, rates have gone DOWN recently. The market is an infinitely unknowable thing, eh?
