@Cynthia Brooks I am somewhat excited. I have always thought it was unfair that a bunch of people got into real estate in 2013 timeframe and got houses super cheap and then enjoyed all the appreciation. I was sitting with my money waiting for a crash and the business is also throwing out cash. I want a crash in the real estate market like in stocks - I also deserve an opportunity to get in on the money machine. I understand that affects people on this site. I just want us to acknowledge all the good things that will come from this - wealth will be transferred to people who didn’t get a chance to get in during 2013.
wow! That's a horrible attitude! So, you want everyone to lose, so that you can make money? Sounds just like all of the corrupt people in government today. Who do you think you are, that you deserve to cash out on the backs of all of us who took chances and worked our butts off and bought when you didn't?
You are the same breed that I am. You built your wealth off the backs of the misery and suffering that was the 2008 real estate crash - where investors and normal people alike lost their homes. The banks then put the houses out on market for 30 cents on the dollar in some places. You bought in 2009-2013. You are just the same as I am - you caught the upswing on a different crash than me. But you are the same. I sit now with money and this is my time. Why are you so appalled - this is the cycle right?? Investors = buy low, sell high. Is this the whole game. So yes I am hoping everyone looses their houses so I could do what you all chose to do in 2010 - mercilessly offer 150k for a house that was worth 350-400 just 2 years ago (or were you generous enough to offer 350?) no you weren’t because you are a investor.
Investors are vulture looking for dead carcasses that can someday become racehorses.
There's a huuuuge difference between us. I took advantage of an opportunity that was not of my making. I didn't want anyone to foreclose or lose their business and I did nothing to make that happen. I bought REOs that were offered by the banks after the fact.
But you actually wish for all of us to lose everything, so that you can profit of that. That's makes you an absolutely horrible person !!!
We are getting stuck in semantics. You can phrase it saying I wish you all lost your stuff. Which sounds bad. I can and will phrase it as “I hope the real estate prices become lower so I can buy in” sounds nice finance like but it’s the same thing.
Also I am not actively making anything happen for you all to loose stuff - I am just hoping for it so the prices go lower.
Why didn’t you help the banks out?? Offer them more than asking price in your day - bet you bargained then right down to the bone - you knew they were desperate and savored every advantage you could from it. You know the last crash was a bloodbath for many smaller banks right? Those are people - those are jobs - those are families. Easy to point fingers at the rats and vultures like the rest of us when you already done the same and already built up the fat reserves.
I am not a horrible person. I didn’t create Coronavirus. I did start a business which has generated a lot of cash in the past few years along with my job before that. I saved it and say out 2018 and 2019 and felt stupid missing those upswings because I thought a crash would come. Now it’s here and I will enrich myself off of this - like you. I didn’t create the Coronavirus - the Chinese did. Call them horrible - not me. We are Both Americans, let us stock together against the real enemy - the country who has stolen our jobs and now given us this virus - the criminal Communist leadership is to blame here.
