Bidding war on houses

[Squeeze]

This is what I've been running into since last August. They scoop them up and put some cosmetic improvements and the cost goes up from there. Of course I'm looking at a much lower numbers market than most of you folks.

Yep. I cannot express the amount of anger I was feeling when experiencing this. I now lump those people in with the same types as used car salesmen, pawn shop owners, insurance appraisers/claim adjusters, etc.

I was in real estate investment over a decade ago and prior to that I was a used car salesman for a brief stint out of high school. I guess we're sworn enemies then.

Point is individuals are more than their profession. I try to approach all people the same way (with a smile, caution and a plan to kill them if things go south) and let them show me if they're a shit head or not.

Sounds just like how I hate all clowns, doctors, and astronauts, for all the same reasons.

All right. I'll take one for the team and ask...what are those reasons?

I was being facetious because claims adjusters have nothing in common with used car salesmen or pawn shop owners. I was going to make up funny reasons to carry on, but I decided I didn't feel like it today.

so, you hate capitalism? you buy kydex, fix it up and sell it for a profit. different? not really.

I see it quite differently. I'm not trying to screw anyone over.

I'm not picking on you directly, but you're one of three people that I have heard complain about real estate investors recently.

How is making savvy business decisions trying to screw people over?

If you had the opportunity to buy low and sell high, would you pass it up? I doubt it, but maybe you are the one person that would in this world.
