Not everyone that comments or doesn’t comment is scared or someone’s like Buddy @FR W…
Just saying…
Have a blessed Sunday.✅
Let's see what you guys are made of.
@Kevin S. and FR W, since you both are hiding behind no photo and limited information and think you are being bullied, let's meet up online on a recorded Zoom that I will then add to this forum. I will post the live link in here so anyone can come and help you.
I invite you both to come on with me, air your gripes for newbies, and explain where in the initial post you felt attacked. We can go word by word through the whole thing, or you can just try to debate me in person, live and recorded.
Let me know a good time for you both this week, and I will post the link here so everyone can come on at the same time.
"LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE MADE UP OF" !! Wow...just wow!
Not sure where to even begin. This is an entire book filled topic. After zoom then what? Physical meet up @ OK Corral? Your ego knows no limits.
You realize I ignored your last response because it was a general response with nothing personal. But you are not happy, still. Your ego has taken control of you.
That starting quote of your I haven't heard since high school days(maybe middle school). Nor have I heard from the likes of Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk. Could you please rank yourself amongst them so at least I have an idea?
What do you expect to get out of debate on Zoom that hasn't been discussed here already? As a matter of fact you left a 'respectable discussion' long time ago on this thread and took it to another level. Lower. In one of your recent comments you even resorted to calling "newbie babies".
For those of us who choose to maintain our privacy, it is just that. Our choice. Everything can be discussed here. You seem to have no trouble responding here hence I see no point otherwise. You on the other hand have no choice but to give up that privacy since your livelihood depends on seeking clients here. We don't. Sorry.
Do you even realized what you are doing to yourself by quoting your opening line? I hope your potential prospects do not come across this thread.
Come to think of it, you give seasoned pros a bad rap just like some newbies give newcomers a bad rap. So unfortunate. Even @Jim K who hurled personal insult (I did not respond in kind) did not go beyond a few comments, has closed out respectably. It's all good. We all make mistakes from time to time. It's not late for you to follow suit. We can be friends and you get to save face. What will it be?
Other seasoned pros are watching...
1. No photo
2. No name
3. Saying you don't respond when literally that is all you have been doing for days on here.
4. Chastising someone else for not agreeing with you.
No one is worried about me going after them. Do you not understand how this works? I made a very helpful post (see original) and you keep showing up crying and hyperventilating online.
You are embarrassing yourself. You will never "win" this debate, nor general favor here. Just pack it in. You are a lurker - no photo, no name.
TLDR as usual

If I had to do it over again, I would have used “Dan H”. with my last name I am very easy to identify. There are also many weird people out there. Some that believe all LL are evil and that they should not expect to make money for the risk, investment, and effort of investing in residential RE. I continuously run into more people like this (I am sure living in Ca does not help). What virtually all these people have in common is they know less than $hit about RE. They feel they have 0 opportunity but at the conferences and REA meeting I go to I meet young people with a different attitude that appear to be on a great path to success.
I recently attended the MTR summit. There were a lot of young hustlers. 2 local girls worked supporting the summit to go. They made a good pitch to try to manage my STRs. I loved their enthusiasm and hustle. As near as I can determine they own no Properties but co-host some and are eager to grow. Their mindset was so different than the socialist that believe housing is a divine right and they should be able to live wherever they want. I know who will be more successful and it is not those that think they should be provided free/low cost housing in San diego for doing virtually nothing.
My point is I understand wanting some anonymity. I wish I had more anonymity with respect to BP.
Anyone at BP want to help getting my user name changed to “Dan h” or “Dan R H”?
Bro, are you even serious here? You have been trolling non-stop, but are also busy? You aren't gaining any favor as an anonymous person on the site. You are hiding so you can do stuff like this.
Hi everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Chattanooga, TN resident, realtor, and (newbie) investor here.
A mentor told me real estate is all about building relationships, so here I am! I'll probably have some silly questions going forward, so please be patient with me haha. I've been listening to BP podcasts, lurking in the forums, and suffering from shiny object syndrome for awhile. I'm seeking financial freedom and lasting wealth for my family.
I'm not sure the etiquette on messaging to make connections, so I'm sorry ahead of time if it comes across as weird.
Hope everyone has a great day!
Spencer
You don't have to wait. I am already successful in what I do. In my world you would be lucky if you could be successful in 60 yrs. In my world we don't insult or have name calling. I wish you another successful 30 yrs in what you do.
Bravo, Kevin! Wish "them" well. No insults needed :)
These are here to help you make better connections in the forums. It's ok to be new, but if you consider these five tips, you will get much better responses to your questions.
1. Writing too little or too much in a post looking for answers. There is a happy medium out there. If you write a novel, most of us won't read it because it's just too much. If you write too little, we have nothing to go on. Ask one question and tell everyone what you have done up to this point to get the answers. Also, give relevant information on rates, prices, square footage, etc.
2. Asking for a mentor without having anything to give. This is running rampant. It's great to get in the forums and look to make connections, but when you only put your hand out and ask for help and have nothing to give back, you are only going to get people who are going to pitch you. A few locals may reach out (more likely local agents), but you will never hear back if you hop on that call and only want to take from them.
3. Being fragile when you don't get the responses you want. If someone doesn't give you the answer you want and you clap back, your time in the forums will be short. Not because you will get removed but because you aren't open to advice. Sometimes, you will ask one question, but pros will have other questions to see if you are even asking the right question. Open forums aren't the best option if you are prone to fragility.
4. Asking questions without researching how often the same question has been asked. See "Should I start an LLC?" as an example. If you want to get the best responses, don't ask a question that has been asked a million times. Do your due diligence in the forums, looking for other answers, and use those to frame a better question.
5. Posting the same question in multiple forums. This is a definite no-no. Please stop. Pick one forum where your question makes the most sense. If it's a good question, we will find it. If you post the same question in several forums, we all know it's spam. You know it's spam. Don't spam.
If you are an experienced commenter here, let everyone know what you think of these to help them even more. Add some of your own.
If you are new, please use these to help yourself get better answers here.
I think of these forums when answering questions for newbies as a service to help and guide others, whether in their questions or with how to ask or answers. If there is a question I don't like or how it's asked I don't answer it. I feel no obligation and want to foster a welcoming environment where people can ask "stupid" questions. Real estate can be scary and hard and some have a hard time formulating the perfect question to ask. Make it easier for people to learn and feel welcome in the community. I also agree that spam and guru's offering get rich quick have no place here where people are trying to learn. Also it does help new people more when they to do research and then ask a question to get better responses which I think what this post is getting at. I keep in mind that every one has a different situation and experience.
