He seems to be doing well because he takes fishing trips to Canada with the boss every year.I told my realtor to see if they would respond to an offer of 200K down from 220K and she told me it was a bad idea.

@Jemel Cooper sounds like you caught a big fish on your line.

I'm a former contractor, so this doesn't scare me, but I talked with the REA and he tells me he's got an over asking offer O_o So I'm thinking he's just fishing.

No I’m not joking and real estate is what caught me like a fish on a hook.

OR, they could be baking cookies for the scout troop, or selling fish dinners for the church occasionally.

There's right around zero chance you'd get in trouble for that since the IRS has much bigger fish to fry. 

I don't want to come off as begging or this little fish that no one wants to notice either. 

Now if your in an investment were you think there is going to be some major appreciation or up side that's another kettle of fish all together..

I was sold the idea that probate were like fishing in a barrel, an uptapped market.

I thought it could be a fishing scam because he asked me to fill out an application upfront.
