You’re right, it sounds crazy, LOL

Would be worth $150k opening up at the bell this morning.

 What would I do? right now - I would purchase a 595 lot of 445 Call Options on $SPY 18 Oct Expiry for a total of $49,980 or $0.84 per contract Immediately at the bell.  At the strike price of 445, it is immediately worth $75,000 dollars including the premium I would pay. et al strikes ITM; 446 - $106K, 447 - $129,000, 448 - $171,000, 449 - $217,000, $450,000 -$267,000. I would pawn it off as soon as possible. I would then take that profit when available convert it into $USDT and play a 100x futures bet short or long ( most likely long) to return 4.8% profit per twenty-five dollars of movement. Funding of 50k is already paid for + interest. Then I would acquire shares in $BTU, $ORGN, $CLOV , Gold and Uranium as well as make straddles on $UPRO. This would be the the start of financial freedom for me, all in a couple hours.

This may sound crazy to you all and the topic at hand does not really fit the niche on this site. I'll just get straight to the point. I'm looking for an entity that is interested in funding me. For what? Great question. I don't have much interest in seeking large sums for a house flip. I am seeking a smaller amount that I can flip in the stock market. That's crazy you may think. Well yeah someone might say that. In my opinion, I would much more be interested in receiving a small amount to flip, make profit from and return the amount in whole within terms of a legal contract between both parties. It's easier for me to get my toes off the ground and then remove myself from the liability as soon as possible. That is much more of an interesting venture over holding a large loan balance over a longer period of time. Less risk for me and less risk for you, while still receiving the satisfaction of changing someone's life. I am an experienced trade who watches pre-market to the end of the day at least 4 out of 5 times a week. If anyone has interest in the stock market and feel inclined or consider something like this. Let's talk. After all, trading up in the market is nearly the same as flipping a house. I just want to use the market to reach my real estate goals. It can happen quick. The ingredients are just a little different.

I would definitely keep my eye out for VERY hard to pass deals. And in that note I mean, wait a little longer... maybe another fiscal quarter. The economy is about to shift very soon and that could change tour options... knut for the good or bad? That’s the gamble... Either way—you want to find a home. If it’s feeling like perfect to you, then clench. If you could have got a better deal on six months, don’t worry it will make up for itself somewhere in your financials.

@Cory Thorbeck no it’s not inaccurate, and I don’t appreciate your condescending attitude. I know all about the ghost ship. Main point is that both situations are serious fire hazards, when significant and blatant misuse of illegal sleeping areas/room are made from structures not designed for that high capacity of use. 

You are so right ! i’m so ignorant, golly. 

Your profile says it all. all about the money. But you know what— maybe you should lower your rent prices.  

Over here talking about dozens of innocent lives taken like it’s no big deal and trying to call me condescending. You should pull the mirror off your bathroom wall, hop off at fruitvale station and hold it in front of you, walk around reading your profile while you reflect about how much money you make. Housing is to house people to have a decent place to sleep, not gouge prices in mass for profits that ultimately displace people into situations as you are ‘defending’ Don’t forget to stop and the local Wendy’s off international.

I agree with Brian. In the marketplace you’ll usually see 2/1’s being illegally changed to 3/2s, which still has risk,  but at least is a more common occurrence. But taking a 2/1 and adding 8 illegal bedrooms and 6 illegal baths!?!  That’s seriously No Bueño!

That could lead to ALOT of trouble. It’s a serious habitability and fire hazard (google Oakland ghost ship). city could easily construe this as an illegal attempt to make a boarding home, etc. which can definitely lead to big fines, and having to dismantle everything.

I’d run away!

That’s an in accurate reference to such a tragic event.  You should do some reading. 

I have learned that, good sir. I'm not looking for someone to represent on this platform. I've probably talked to 7 out of the 30 or so I've reached out to. Not to mention 'clinics', or pro bono services amidst the area. I'm just looking for an opinion on a harassment situation.
