Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=urbanrealtor][quote=captcha]The most popular Austrian?
Arnold Doubleblack[/quote]Okay.
I might be wrong about this but I have been told his name is not Schwarze/negger (black/black) but instead Schwarze/n/egger (black/conjugation/hollow).
This would be consistent with the Austrian and German habit of giving those without last names (peasants, Jews, Gypsies) surnames that were animistic or occupational in nature. Like why Jews have names like Gansler (good herder)or Einstein (one stone).Anyway, its what I have heard.[/quote]
Dan: Bingo. Translation of which would leave you with either “black plowman” or “harrower of dark (fertile/fecund) fields”, not “double black” (“schwarze” in German meaning black, combined with an obvious play on “negger” sounding like an American colloquialism for a black person).
Depending on which part of Germany you hail from, surnames can be tied to geography, profession or trade or lineage.
Also, don’t forget we will someday rule the world and all of you will… Shit! I said that out loud, didn’t I?[/quote]
Ah… the next you will tell me that Negerkuss has nothing to do with its color.

Arnold DoubleblackParticipantIt might be an exception, but my 25% down offer on a $450K bank owned was accepted after I approached the listing agent directly. It closed a week ago.
Prior to that I made several offers. More than one later closed at less than what I had offered.
Most ‘investors’ are industry insiders. They know listing agents or they know people who know listing agents. And I doubt the listing agent is just a silent proxy. The agent might be able to remove you from the race with a simple verbal remark.
I interacted with few dozens of agents over the past 24 months and very few gave me any reason to believe that they would not enhance their compensation at the expense of any of the parties involved.
