 If I was selling something or providing some sort of service I would have my last name and picture. Since I'm on here for knowledge only there is no point in letting the world know how or what I invest in. 

But I get where you are coming from.

Classic response.  Love it!!  It sounds like the negative nancy you speak of though is more of a Realistic Nick.  Cant confuse the two.   Realistic Nick can at times sound negative but has good intentions.

Negative nancy on the other hand does not have good intentions, is a glass is half empty person, and sometimes says hurtful words to other posters that provides no value.

@Jason C. 

Completely forgot about that one and yes I see that one all the time.  Super Annoying!!

@Mark Freeman 

Haha, no worries Mark.  The pain is not that bad but at least your conscious of what you did.

@Brandon M. 

haha, so true my friend. I love newbies and all I mean we were both one at some point but I totally agree with you on 1 and 2.   When I first came onto this site, I spent probably a month just reading over everything I could possible learn before I even posted my first comment.  That should be a requirement.  Read for at least a week or two, then post.

Ahh i just thought of another one.  

- How many times I see people misspell the word "lose".  I constantly see people spell it as "loose".   I mean I get a bunch of people on this site arent accustomed to losing money but at least know how to spell it!  (notice I said "losing" and not "loosing")

Im going to wait until its a buyers market again before I start buying more rentals in this area but honestly, I would look for houses near 130 in pflugerville.  The houses there are still not that over priced and what will be happening there in the future is huge.

see article below on pflugerville future plans.

No problem. I figured it might be a controversial topic.  If it gets out of hand feel free to delete the thread but my intentions are all in good spirit.  This site is awesome!

So I thought i'd be fun to ask this as sometimes Im reading posts and get annoyed.  Dont get me wrong, I love biggerpockets and If it wasn't for this site, i would not be even close to where I'm at right now with my real estate goals.   But anyhow, here is what annoys me about some of the posts I see on biggerpockets.  

1) When reading an ad on the market place that advertises a zillow or tax appraisal value as a selling point.  Really!?

2) When reading an ad on the marketplace that advertises what the max zillow value was back in 2006 as a selling point.  (Ridiculous!)

3) When turnkey sellers offer their product and dont state the most basic of expenses like maintenance and repairs.  

4) When the same negative nancy posters comment on peoples posts.  You know who you are!  I have certain names I just skip now and dont even bother reading their comments.  I dont have a paid membership so I cant block people.

What annoys you?   

Ive been using evergreen note servicing for the past 6 years on my one owner finance i sold.  Ive never had any problems with them and neither has the borrower.  Look them up.
