docteur, you make some good points. And yes, powayseller can be overbearing.
However, I have to support powayseller’s right to express her opinions. Her sometimes controversial and over-the-top posts get the dialogue going.
If in our society, we have room for Evangelical Christians who think they need to save everyone in their paths, then we have room for a real-estate bear evangelist.
For God’s sake, we have too many bull evangelists already.
We’ve heard so much from the bulls in the last few years on how we’d better get into the market now that it’s nice to hear an opposing view. We are here on the Internet and there are millions more sites on investing and flipping properties for people who wants a more positive take on real estate investing.
In my view, one informercial on TV on no-money-down real estate investing do much more harm to the public than powayseller’s posts since the beginning.
Powerseller does not need to apologize. She’s got strong views and that’s fine by me.
My personal approach is that if anyone wants to invest in real-estate now, all I can do is wish them success. Or if anyone wants to get married to the wrong partner, it’s also not my job to dissuade them. I’ve learned that people don’t want advice. They just want cheer-leading and reinforcement for the decisions they’ve already made and empathy when things go awry.
I just do my own things independent of others. I have only a few friends I would be very frank and honest with.
In my book, powerseller is a little different. She’s an evangelist. She’s made it her mission to spread the word. I say spread away.
