Are you kidding me? Hello? :shocked
Are you even reading the posts or just letting your fingers do the talking/babbling?
If you do not like the way the Forums…
Thank you for completely making my point… for old and new visitors… :beer

Wow!!
Apparently that experimenting in the 60’s caused more problems than the doctors first thought.
Maybe now that Positive has gotten the boot he will have time to finish his “rehabs” AND run his “multiple web sites”. :bs

I know you are going to take this hard but I do hope you will remain a member of this forum. Even though we don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things I do enjoy your videos (and I mean that in all honesty) and some of your postings are very thought provoking (such as this thread).
Chris, thanks for the kind words. Even though we havent seen eye to eye always, I enjoy your posts too… especially when were not fighting.
I will stay a member here. When I said I was going to leave (a while back) I was just getting really mad at that time.

That’s what I am thinking. To hear him/her tell it they were quite a multi-tasker, a little dense, but quite the multi tasker.
Hoosier and ALL members
To reiterate my offer ,it stands also…If you ever want to ask any questions on any topic I have posted about feel free to PM anytime…This goes for any poster here…The reason why I came to this forum was to learn about Real Estate(and the many different areas of investing that pretain to it) and many here helped me including Propertymanager Mike,my friend fdjake and others…I sent them tendless private messages and they helped me each and every time…If I can return the favor to anyone on this forum I feel its my duty to do so…In the end we are here to learn from each other and that has helped me prosper as a businessman…Im here anytime for anyone…Just drop me a line…
rookieNYC,
Your 2 book recommendations on notes sound fascinating and I’m ordering them from Amazon. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do note investing, it sounds fascinating.
I’m hoping that’ll be my retirement “job” if I get tired of pushing furnished rental units. Thanks for being available on this site.

seemed pretty intelligent, or at least web smart. Wonder if he was short? Maybe he had a “Napoleon Complex”
furnishedowner,
Both are great books…I think the hardest thing to get use to is not seeing the money in your account…Other than that after all of your due diligence is done I honestly love the business…I think a talented landlord/propertymanager can make a higher % or ROI but I’m not a patient nor very talented at being a good landlord…
example…I bought a 2 family property upstate NY for like 40k 2 years ago…Hated it…had nothing but issues with tenants,water bills,vandalism etc…I sold the property for 55k with owner financing…Took %20 down and held the mortgage at %10 with a 5 year call…A call means the buyer has to take me out of the mortgage at year 5…If you calculate the down money plus the interest over the 5 years plus the buyout amount at year 5 its unreal…Much better than owning it…Also in the event of a default I simply take back the property because I have a signed deed in lieu of foreclosure,keep the down payment and monthly interest payments made and find another buyer…But this owner is a good landlord and Im actually doing a similar deal with him on another property…The possibilities are endless…
I can attest to RookieNYC’s offer. He has helped me tremendously.
Same here…
I’ve learned and even applied some of the strategies he uses just from reading his posts.
This stuff is GOLD…It’s being done by REAL PEOPLE who are willing to HELP…Having access to them is priceless.
You know Positive is sitting at his computer seething right now.
I will say this to anyone who is reading this and feeling like he got screwed. I was absolutely done posting in Random Ramblings (as were several other prominent posters) because of Positive Outlook. Trying to reason with the guy was like banging your head against a wall. And the cutting and pasting along with his constant “prove me wrong” crap just got old very fast. Hopefully some of the others that have quit posting here will come back and start contributing again.
I was on my way out too Chris.
It just came down to a complete lack of respect for any thougth other than his…
I really enjoy this site…I know I can be opinionated and stubborn at times but I’ve picked up a LOT of great info here…Even the NORMAL debates are entertaining because you KNOW there are very smart people here…You better be able to back up your ideas, because the BS meter is sensitive on this site.
But his game just got OLD…
MY GOD…He may have been THE MOST ANNOYING HUMAN BEING on EARTH.
I can be opinionated and stubborn at times
At Times? LOL :beer
Glad your still here.
Wow, arent you guys afraid of the PO Army that are referred to in this quote leaving?
PLENTY of posts where people out and out tell me that they agree with what I am saying
Oh never mind. I looked and didn’t see any that agreed :anon

You ain’t kidding about rentals. I just can’t deal with tenants, just not worth it and hope new investors understand what they are getting into with them.
I’ll be interested in learning more about Owner Financing and Hard Money lending through your book recommendations.

I guess I don’t understand why he didn’t catch on that something big was going down when all of a sudden Mdhaas (Global Member Moderator) got involved in this thread and kept telling him he was proving his point. :rolleyes I feel he was given many chances to stop what he was doing, but was probably at a point of no return and just kept digging him deeper and deeper. Hopfully he will now have the ambition to build that blog.
Heck I think I was one of the two he kept hoping would join in the reindeer games (just because I’m a regular poster and questioned him on his timeline with his rehab vs. cutting & pasting on here). I simply wasn’t getting involved this time. I never had anything against him, but it was getting really old of the calling everyone out to stir the pot.
I was actually thinking about just doing a one liner this afternoon saying he was about to go the way of the Hooch.
It’s nice to hear everyone kinda open back up again and offer help to everyone. Same goes for me. I offer up what I can for areas where I have experience. I haven’t branched out too much yet because it’s been so easy to keep making the deals we’re making. I still want to do self storage in a few years after I retire.
That’s what I love about the site. If some moron posts garbage, he’s getting called out on it and someone is going to set the record straight.
It’s a special gift of wanting to be abused and willing to deal with stupidity. I had a tenant leave a message today claiming she’d been trying to reach us for 3 weeks (first I’ve heard of this). When I finally talked to her about this tonight, she said that my phone never rang and always went straight to a message. I had to explain to her that’s what cell phones do when they’re turned off…they go straight to voicemail and you have to actually leave me a message if you want me to know you need something.
Nicely played Sir…
and Thank You! :beer
