[quote=paramount]I wanted to get in the mind of the schemers of the Real Estate world, the very people who turned real estate into a market not unlike the stock market, where you buy a house low and sell high just like a stock 4-6 years later.

The same scammers who are as responsible as the liar buyers in decimating the only asset I really had – my house.

I figured I better start learning how these schemers operate, so at least next time I won’t be such a fool.

I would say 80%+ of the piggs on this board fall into the category of schemers IMO.

For the Love of Money…that’s what drives these schemers 24/7/365.[/quote]

I think that it would be accurate to say that bitterness and spite are weaknesses and that those who are bitter and spiteful are often fools or at the very least foolish.

I came to this site after several clients asked me about stuff they had read here.
Some was insightful and some was stupid.

For example, the assumption that land scarcity would push prices higher in the short term was a little stupid.
Semi-racist comments referring to south-asians as “sanjay” were stupid.
Discussions about making sure that purchases fell within a single deviation of the historical purchase-to-income coefficient was insightful.

I am really glad to hear all the conversations though. Even those I strongly disagree with help to broaden my understanding of the market and the actors in it. I just wish we had more happy hours. I really like talking shop over beer. I would like to see josh drink more though. He always seems a touch intense. It would be nice to see him relax.

[quote=4826monongahela]Several guys including Rich & myself were housemates in college. We lived in a large, cheap, run-down place at 4826 Monongahela in Clairemont. We did a big party once per yr called “party with pigs”. [/quote]

LOL
I lived there too.
From 97-99.

That fucker Akers sent me a bill for “cleaning” after I moved out.

Awesome.

“Crap bag” was taken.

I felt that something more absurd might reflect the silliness in my personality too much and cost me business if any clients read.

This is the same reason I first decided that I needed to have a silly picture of me on my business card (perhaps as a jedi) and then just decided that no picture was best.

Many of my best clients are far more serious than I am.

If it was all up to me my handle would be “beerandpool”, my business card would have a picture of me as a soul train dancer and my office would be the back patio of the Alibi with occasional outcalls to Wine Steals…

That is of course until my son was old enough to read or understand it.

Then, again, I would have to be a touch more serious.

So, Rich, do you speak that weird Uruguay Spanish?

[quote=sdrealtor]I just thought of another impact this will have which will likely be positive for listing agents. The new system will discourage multiple back up offers on short sales that already have offers on them. However, listing agents will still get sign calls from people driving by properties. When the 1st buyer does not perform it will be more likely that the back up offer would come through the listing agent now.[/quote]

Yeah that will be weird.

Will the bank consider the double-end offers acceptable or only pay one side?
