PW,
I’m the funniest guy I know and much of what I post is with tongue firmly in cheek. The guy asked me how I knew so much about RE and I told him that I is was in the business and doing well. He was surprised and asked how I was doing it. My response was I work with mostly well qualified folks with solid net worths and conservative outlooks who are trying to find great properties at reasonable prices in the current market. That and cleaing up the mess of all the distressed properties that he and his buddies created. He didnt like that part.
He then asked me what I knew about the FHA limits going up so he could get back in the game. I told him to try Starbuck’s as at least they offer benefits. He didnt like that either. It was all very surreal.
