Where to Buy

[Dan732]

Why is 100k in 9 months such a big deal to believe?

Think about this.

decent to good copywriter makes $100+ per hour. 40 hour week = $4000. Four weeks of this = $16,000. Nine months of this = $144,000.

Does not really matter who makes what IMHO. I enjoy hearing about deals though.

So grats to all making profit :D

Evergreen it's not about the deal, it's his agenda. He's a Real Estate Agent, he want's you to believe everything is Great and Happy in Real Estate all across America. That is what I have a problem with. If he's a true believer in his kool-aid stand, he should be out there buying all the 500K he can scarf up!

"He's a Real Estate Agent, he want's you to believe everything is Great and Happy in Real Estate all across America."

Everything IS GREAT AND HAPPY in Real Estate across most of America.

You're advising people on an investment website to "sit it out and watch" during the greatest Real Estate Bull Market in our lifetimes!

That's mind boggling. Moreover, I'm anonymous...I don't stand to profit by stating my convictions here.

Finally, what in the world are your qualifications? Do you have any?

I could ask you the same question sir

[evergreen]

Ah ok well.

Just like any market at any time in history. There are winners and losers. Even in the great depression there were winners.

Where you stand depends on your intelligence and the moves you make.

Perhaps we should all go watch Cramer on CNBC and buy all the stocks he recommends, which are at 52 week highs :D

Hey don't forget Real Estate, Cramer has been pushing that lately too! Wasn't Joe Kennedy a big winner during the Great Depression?

[evergreen]

Cramer is scary.

I like how he was pushing CAT today, which is near a 52 week high. He stressed that you should do a limit order (you should never do market anyway) for about $50.50. He said don't be mad if you do market, get in at $52.50 and get hosed. Um, so we are investing in this $50+ stock for a $1 play?

I like how he thinks we are coming back to being an industrial player. Not until we learn chinese and work for $9 a year. Oh, and destroy all the Wal-Marts.

I think someday his head is going to explode.

Usually when Cramer starts pimping something, you know someone is trying to get out of it. So I don't know what to think of his Real Estate advice.

I'd be happy to answer that question.

I hold a Broker's License. I work for another Broker on a subcontractor basis...so I'm considered an 'Associate Broker.'

It's my opinion that this License trumps every Real Estate Designation available...as it basically allows me to start my own business. Any lesser license or designation will not permit one to do so.

Additionally I am a State Certified Residential Appraiser. Although I no longer offer appraisal services...I appraised for 14 years & we estimate I've completed 4,500 valuations of & for: residential, condominiums, multifamily and vacant land for banks, savings and loans, mortgage firms, employee transfer companies, private parties, attorneys, marriage dissolution settlements, and REO appraisals for companies handling FHA & VA foreclosures (including cost to repair estimates & "as repaired" & "as is" value).

I'm a former Home Inspector & Commercial Pest Control Consultant. I've allowed that license to expire as I must recertify every two years w/continuing education for the afore mentioned licenses, and cannot afford the time for this license any longer.

I'm also a real estate investor, and have had an interest & education in this arena going back aprx. 20 years.

I've worked hard, and I'm proud of my accomplishments, and feel these various licenses offer me a unique insight into the various complexities of our real estate markets.

Your turn...

That is so true 100% I could not agree more if you are thinking you are going to go under BUY MORE.

I do not generally make it a point to involve myself in other converstions. However, I have been watching this topic waiting to see what the next comment mr. 732 was going to be. Most have been completely asinine.  
It is a shame that most of the comments posted sir have had completely nothing to do with real estate (which is why most of us come here).  It is also a shame that you have nothing to say about your positive experiences in the industry. Especially with the obviously thriving market we reside in.  I would make it a point to educate myself on the  difference between real estate agent and an investor. Until you read those books, if I were you, I would unplug my keyboard as to not look like a complete fool in public.
This will be my last post in this board due to the fact that I know certain parties can not and will not resist replying to this message. I am sure the remark made torwards it will be of no intelligence or class.
I apologize if I have offended anyone with this post. I just thought somebody should tell a certain member that his games were not appreciated nor his lack of respect for those of us who come here to learn or listen to experience. I wished there was more to learn in this topic but, the clutter of complete personal attacks and junk on this board makes it a disappointing example the lack of self examination and tactful converstion in society. Infowell I will look for your other post. I wish you luck in your ventures as well as all the others that have had something intelligent to say.
Thank you

If Cramer knows so much, and he has been in the industry for over 20 years, thru the raging BULL market of the 1990's, how come he is still working.  
    He should be worth millions by now, but he spends his lovely afternoons in hot, humid New York city in July and August telling you what to do with your money.  He is full of himself
