Oh, one more thing Jumby. If you post on this site you are not allowed to talk about doing well or gaining wealth in real estate. If you do, you will be labeled as an attention whore or someone who claims to be better then everyone because you have done well. This is the reason why 4plex was coy with his answer.

I’ve never seen anyone on this site be mean or spiteful just because another poster has done well with their investments. And I’ve been here a while.

I think I would have to echo what Borat posted. There are many posters who have done very well financially and post here. I don’t believe that there is a disposition of hostility towards them.

Surveyor who has not posted for awhile has done quite well in real estate and continues to do so. Anyone who contends that you cannot make money in real estate even today is somewhat limited in the scope of the possibilities. I would say that making money in SoCal real estate today is difficult at best. Conversely there are regions around the country that present tremendous opportunity, you just have to work hard and get it done right.

I think that the demographics of posters on this board is largely skewed towards the discussion of San Diego real estate AND that most of the participants are not in the business of creating wealth through real estate. I would say they are a cross section of folks, mostly buyers or potential buyers, who want to try to learn more about real estate. Furthermore they want to try to reduce the risk of thier own purchase in light of how volatile the market in San Diego has been over the past several years.

There is no argument about the tone of the posters, I grant you that. However if you have hard data behind your arguments, you can go toe to toe with them in the forum and at the very least be respected. It is the speculative statements within bullish arguments that gets them to bare thier teeth. The bitterness part…. that has been well chronicled and maybe even overblown.

SDR: I concur with your observation, and would offer an observation of my own. That is, the more intelligent and open minded posters (IMHO) also tend to be the more considerate in their responses and considered in their logic and reasoning.

Some of the more hyperbolic and vitriolic responses have also been rife with misspellings and grammatical errors. This probably sounds somewhat judgmental, but there it is.

I have had my head handed to me a couple of times here, and by the “pros” (those with the data and the sound arguments), and, because of how professionally it was done, I had no hard feelings. To the contrary, nothing is more enjoyable than a good argument (in the truest definition of the word) with a good opponent.

Some of the more ad hominem attacks are simply over the top, and they really detract from both the spirit of this board and the overall quality of the posters/postings.

Just my $.02.

On a personal note, I have really appreciated your hard work in disseminating some truly valuable information about the local RE scene. I have gained new insights as a result, and it forced me to rethink several of my positions (for the better, I should add). Regards.
