Participant“You fly sailplanes Rustico? I’ve been doing the RC sailplane thing for years. Finding thermals and staying in them is still a challenge some days.”
Golfproz< I don't have a history or flying any model planes. My oldest is five and I recently noticed that he doesn't just play with paper airplanes he studies aerodynamics. This was prompted by videos he rented about an air show in Oshkosh where he learned about bernoulli's principle and a book of foldable planes with instructions for experiments. We have thermals in our front yard that the red tail hawks use to gain altitude. The other day I saw two of those little light weight plastic grocery bags float up about 700 feet over the hills next to my property.I think they came off the roof of the house being built next door. The next excursion with my kids was borne. I might cheat and make a hot air ballon out of crepe paper and send it up with manuafacture heat if the thermals are a flop for us.

ParticipantSorry Matt if I came across as rude on this one. It honestly surprised me.
I am not going to hurt anyone JWM. All my clients are still on the sidelines. They claim to appreciate my having saved their necks since 2003-2004 when I quit selling houses. SDR or sdr could verify this. They can verify that anything I have ever said regarding real estate that wasn’t a minor inadvertent mistake is true. Go back to the big chunk thread and read it again. I have a client who has been talking with me since then who wants to buy in Penasquitos. I recommended that he wait for six months and then talk to me again. Perhaps we’ll think about waiting another six months. It’s the same as I was telling him in 2004 when he first called me to buy a house. He will probably be my first client to buy because he is squandering rental income from a nearly paid off house in Mira Mesa. If I had clients in Temecula, which I don’t, I would be telling them the things that I have been saying for the last two weeks. If I had people who wanted cheap properties, I would be warming them up. Which I do and am. My counsel has been full of caveats in accordance with the multiple variables at play and I intend no deception. I want my clients to use their full faculties and make the best of mine. The fact that you are calling me on this and that you are only worried about the last two weeks when I shifted my bias slightly tells me that you know I have been honest since I got here. I am the same person. I need money from real estate less than when I got here. When I first got in the business, I faced this dilema. Do I care more about money or clients? I thought about his little cartoon I saw when I was a kid where two guys were stranded on this little island. They got real hungry. One started seeing the other as a big juicy hotdog and his counterpart saw him as a hamburger. I decided I wasn’t on a deserted island and wouldn’t allow myself to see people that way. If I don’t show people how to make money in real estate, that is just the flip side or telling them to buy stuff that is going to kill them for me. Yes I ahave an incentive to have clients buy it can not cut through my integrity. I see myself as an advocate first and, when I do that, I am also selling. The stuff that I have been saying for the last few weeks and that you guys are now so hostile about is useful for that advocacy work. It is not a denial of anyone’s genius to make money in another asset class. It is how I got where I am, how my friends got where they are, and how those I work with will become relatively wealthy. I want to share it. You are welcome to check my sales record and you are welcome to come over for ceviche and a beer or two one weekend. I will have at least five past and future clients here that you can interview. Then we can talk.

ParticipantYou Just showed me that you haven’t read my posts in context, not even on this thread. Not even on this page of this thread. That would lead me to believe that you also did not read the other posts you are unhappy with in context. Sorry about our differences JWM.

ParticipantThere are so many free or very cheap that are fun and coudl easily replace atrp to the flower gardens.If we jsut come down to the level of our kids and do the things they like to do with them intently that is valuable too. Next mission with my five year old. Try to find thermals and see if we can get an airplane to take off up into one. Four year old…plant tomatoes. Baby play horsey. When they are older it could be a game of basketball or body surfing. The list is infinite.
