eh? baysw2, you invested your money in a wrong place.. you lost it.. there are thousands and thousands in the world who loses their money with the wrong investments..some are losing millions…some even go bankrupt due to wrong investment… this is a game.. no one is obligated to return your money back once your shares (or property value in your case) go down… Look what’s going on in US.. people are getting kicked out of their houses as they cannot afford paying their mortgages anymore…. Stock market (and Real Estate market) is not a nursery.. Every one cares about his - and only his - money…Not about mine, and not about yours.. Accept this loss and move on..
Or wait till crisis is over and sell your place for as much as you can...
