ParticipantSomething like “I can’t stand children” is too much to reconcile.
ParticipantParamount may be exercising some kind of double standard but if people come out and say something like “I can’t stand kids” I am going to write them off. Said to a parent? Not smart , not sensitive. Even before I was a parent I wouldn’t have like that …though it might go a little more under the radar. That’s is a lot like saying I can’t stand homosexuals or women or people of other races. Say that to them or about someone they love and they should value your opinions on anything? If someone told me I can’t stand any of those people I instinctually would pretty much write them off.

I’ll be a taboo breaker here –This week I retired. (If I live cheap, I’m done working forever.)
The week before I paid off my mortgage. (Public record anyway).
[/quote]Hooray!!!!!!!! 🙂
Congratulations on both paying off your house and your retirement! I thought you still had a year or so to go. You’ve certainly done your research and worked hard toward your goals. Nicely done, UCGal!
What’s awesome is that you get to spend time with your kids when they are still young-ish. Didn’t your DH retire recently, too? Travel plans, or?
I am so very happy for you![/quote]
Yes, good for you and congratulations!
ParticipantPledge of allegiance is crazy stuff. Really sick.
ParticipantExcept for making babies I had nothing to hide and my first son was the biggest c–k blocker ever. He had this Spidey sense and would cry and need attention the second any fun got started. We had to make separate doctors visits and do artificial insemination to get his siblings going.
ParticipantI was joking with the previous list..though there is some related type activities going on always…we haven’t skinned and eaten a rattlesnake yet because we kill then relocate them.
What we have done so far is really more like what scaredy would do.
We bought four tennis rackets from the Goodwill and also found this cool free Goodwill online tutorial center.
Participant[quote=HLS][quote=Blogstar][quote=HLS]I’m well aware of what goes on[/quote]
If you are responding to me [/quote]
Nothing to do with your post Blog. Read the OP.
I am licensed for both real estate & mortgage and well aware of what some others do OR try to do.[/quote]
Can you give some stories and examples of what people did and tried to do? What worked , how often, what didn’t?
Participant[quote=flu][quote=Blogstar]My kids have to kill and skin and cook a rattlesnake. Change the brakes on the truck and grow and can some okra. It will be just like a 1920-1930’s depression and we don’t have to leave it to the whims of central bankers as to whether they are spoiled or not.[/quote]
My kid said she was willing to work on the miata if I could find a pink set of wrenches……
That said, I’m not trying to push too hard. Just trying to get the kid to be more careful….There’s diminishing returns that to the point the kid gets frustrated and just doesn’t care….
I got my kid signed up for some drama lessons..In case my kid ever wants to be a politician…..:([/quote]
There must be some “Hello Kitty” tool sets out there?
Participant[quote=HLS]I’m well aware of what goes on but I don’t see how it’s possible for anyone who had “a bankruptcy AND foreclosure” in the last 6 years to have bought another house since then AND have enough equity to do a cash out refi recently.
I don’t doubt that you have ‘personally heard’ about 4 different people doing this but do you happen to actually know any of them ?
I’m just curious. I’d like to speak to any one of the four and understand how they did it.[/quote]If you are responding to me bankruptcy , foreclosure and subsequent purchase that is not what I said happened. The things I mentioned did happen and I said I won’t remember if anyone wants to know who, so no names.
I am pretty sure most busy agents can tell you about at least a few cases of each of the examples I gave, if they wanted to. I wouldn’t be surprised they happened a lot…especially some kind of kickback for cooperating with a short sale being a pocket listing steered to preferred buyers.If agents are or were steering short sales to preferred buyers…I don’t think anyone is going to catch or enforce that.
Participant[quote=spdrun]
The smart ones did interest only cash out refi’s short sold to themselves and cashed out again when the market went up.
How does one “short-sell to themselves” without a trusted middleman? AFAIK, short sales have to be arm’s length transactions.[/quote]
Trusted middle man/family/friend.
Other possible schemes.
Let the agent handle the whole thing and get a kickback from the agent and/or the buyer.I don’t know how much this happened. But with properties going pending with little real marketing. It does make you wonder. I would say I had proof of at least some of it but then someone might want me to give specifics and short of being water boarded I am not going there.
If real estate office walls could talk , I think it would be very interesting.
