So now I'm in the wrong for responding to your insults? Apparently, you should just be free to post insult after insult against me and I shouldn't respond. How exactly does that work?

And good for you for admitting you are an idiot, not that it was necessary.

Yes. You could try this thing called "ignoring" them but I guess you have to stay busy while Roberto gets hard again. Are you incontinent from all your Roberto sex or is he so small that it doesn't even faze you?

Why should I ignore your insults? How about you simply don't make them in the first place - you know, kind of like how you behave in your normal day-to-day life when you aren't empowered by the anonymity of the internet.

Bigsby says

It would be a lot easier if you simply didn't insult me in the first place,
wouldn't you say?

No it would actually without question be easier if you just ignored me.

Bigsby says

In fact, it's remarkable how similar your two posting styles and content are,
wouldn't you say? Uncanny in fact.

I have only this account. The remarkable thing is that you just wont put me on ignore. You absolutely have to defend roberto and than whine about me giving you shit. The funny part is OTHERS have noticed that this is your MO. Stop endlessly defending roberto, or just ignore me. It is really that simple. If you keep coming on here to defend roberto I will continue to give you shit. Roberto can defend himself, he does it all the time, he doen't need your help.

I haven't put anyone on ignore. Why should I? And yes I comment a lot on the responses to Roberto because they are bloody hilarious - that is why I respond - because they are the threads on here that offer a bit of light relief. I'm not interested in endless discussions on monetary policy or American politics, so I tend to focus on the RE stuff, which just so happens to have degenerated into an almost constant bear vs bull type argument with the bears clearly having been overtaken by events. I'm perfectly free to comment on this just as you are. It's nothing to do with defending Roberto. So no, I won't put you on ignore because I like responding to some of your posts - it's just that your constant cock remarks have gotten extraordinarily tedious, and as such, if you keep insulting me, I will continue to respond.

But, in the end result, being right matters more than being popular on here,
when you are making financial decisions.

If anyone is making financial decisions based on posts on Patnet they need to have their head examined.

You are the one that is fixated on it.

Now I have used the term you blow roberto, extensively. Of course that is what you do.

Nice edit? I added it to clarify my fucking point you dopey fucker. Your constant blow job remarks are cock comments, or are you from a planet where those two things are not the same? Or perhaps you'd like to explain to me what I'm supposed to link to when you say show me posts with that 'term' in it, that term being, if you hadn't noticed, 'cock remarks'?

No, I continue to point out the stupidity of your remarks and the fact you have constantly been shown to be wrong in virtually every real estate argument you have had on here. You are just a pro at being in the wrong. Presumably that is why you have resorted to your constant insults.

I find Rob really attractive, that is why I post about his c**k...

Yup1, you really should go see a good psychologist... does your company have someone you can talk to?

I agree. Someone who thinks a fat, balding, old man with a bestiality fetish like Roberto is attractive obviously has some serious mental issues.

robertoaribas says

No,

Again, I have warned you about my family. You don't listen.

That is your problem, you don't listen. You don't read.

You got lucky, won't admit that, and don't know what I said about the price of housing.

I'll say again, the tax credit, then Quantatative Easing pushed up the price of hoiusing. Low monthly payments don't translate into value.

Sell professor, while you still have the equity.

Oh yeah, 2010, to 2013 in the big scheme of Real Estate is nothing.

robertoaribas says

I will avoid them.

But then you didn't.

Let's tell the nice people here what you are upset about.

You cyber stalked me so you already know the story.

My wife, who is educated in accounting in Peru, came here to the United States.

So she had limited choices here in the United States, as an immigrant. Her degree had no bearing here in the United States.

I gave her a choice of any business she wanted, and she chose house cleaning for a wide variety of reasons.

So, when I say I make more money than you, which I do, by different methods, you know I also mean she makes more money than you, with her business, the numbers of which I have already shared with you.

She came her with nothing, no degree, didn't speak English, or drive a car, and now makes money, her family, meaning brother, and sister, also make money, as you well know.

You, who doesn't listen, spent years in college, being a good boy, saving your nickles, and one day you hit a big score, by luck.

Now you want me to be impressed, but I'm not.

Do you want to tell the story of how I met my wife, or shall I?

As you know I had a one year contract in a hotel here in Seattle. The owner either wanted to sell, or refinance. The place needed a lot of work which I helped direct, opened a restaurant in the hotel, and found a buyer.

In the mean time I met a woman from Peru, who had a sister who was visiting. I took her to my church which has a Spanish Mass. She left a few days later, and I didn't give it much thought.

She returned about six months later, during her stay with her sister, I went to Peru, to travel. When I came back I had a keen interest in Peru, and my future wife.

She's great, her family is great, but I wasn't paying for nothing.

I started her in business, but that was it. She built the business by referral. I took over advertizing with the domain name Seattle House Cleaning dot com, in about 2007, when I was done selling off my properties.

So, professor, my wife who deserves your respect, has brought her entire family here, and they all make more money than you.

You are like thousands of Americans who look down on immigrants because you had chances they didn't get.

You want to be a big shot with me, but I'm a guy who makes money by doing deals. I've been doing deals since 1978.

Been there done that, but leave my family alone. Leave my wife alone.

Did you really imply that my family has BO?

What a maroon.

David Losh says

Low monthly payments don't translate into value.

If you really believe that, then you need to go back to school. Low payments most definitely equal value.

robertoaribas says

you don't know how much I make,

professor, that is all you talk about between insults.

robertoaribas says

The name Roberto Armando Ribas

I'm well aware professor, by the way we had our children born in Spain, I like Spain a lot, and had planned to retire there, that was the original plan, but the economy changed.

I like Tangiers, but would have liked to live in Spain.

What many people don't like about me is that as unintelligent, and uneducated as I am, I do pretty much whatever I want, whenever I want, and always have.

I worked in construction, had my own business since I was 19, had a partner, and his mom did our books.

I play chess, and my economics professor, who was interested in Real Estate invited me to play a game of chess. He had questions, lots of them before he asked how much I made. I was making $24K a year the same as him, in 1973.

My impression is that he thought that was good money for a student to make.

I worked a lot with Real Estate investors, and developers to a lesser degree. We also did high end home refurbishing.

In 1982, we finished three condo projects for developers, we literally finished them out. They were all in serious bank loan trouble, and we worked directly with the banks to get paid. The developers did step up until we got towards the end, and they were getting out of trouble.

That was when I started working as a Real Estate agent apprentice for a great company here in Seattle, Advance Properties. The owner is a builder developer, but also ran a residential Brokerage. He sold sold the Brokerage long after I left to a guy who ran it into the ground, another retired CEO of some place who thought Real Estate was easy.

I bought a sport coat, some slip on loafers, and started showing properties for another agent. I think my license was ready to go in 1984, but I don't really remember.

By then my income was $24K a year from investments, plus I had commissions if I chose. Our house was paid off in like 1986? So life was sweet.

Was that good? because I kind of thought it was, for working part time, and donating most of my time to charity, specifically, working with Peopel with AIDS since 1980 as a patient advocate.

Oh, I forgot that we invested heavily in Genetic Systems, a bio tech company that went up like 100% when it was all traded out, split, and whatever those people do.

Then, as you know, I left that, and the fiance, with everything to buy a restaurant that was my listing, no one wanted, told me it was worthless, but I turned it into one of the best places in Seattle within three years. It's still there, I sold to a guy I like.

You came here to this country to make your own way to a better life, then you end up like this.

You, and many guys, and it is usually the blow hard guys, who lord around, like you made it baby, give our community a bad name.

So you are right, every one will tell you you are right, I'm unintelligent, uneducated, and I make a lot of money in Real Estate.

That's the way it used to be. Anyone could make money in Real Estate, but the realities of the market have changed.

You don't see it, you don't learn, you don't read, so you create your own fantasies.

Like about my businesses, they are successful, very successful, and I don't mind sharing.

My brother, and sister in law took over our original business in 2005 to have thier own company. We started the Seattle House Cleaning when they were all set up. I did retain the company names.

Everyone who works with us is on the path to citizenship, which you know is a hard road, and it was a learning curve for me. We have a great immigration attorney.

The business I'm setting up now will be for another gentleman. It's a business he will retain, but it compliments our other businesses.

It's all about you contribution to your family, and community, right professor?

Now for your last bit of ridiculous nonsense, my personal Real Estate business, and holdings are being liquidated. It's the smart move to make.

I am deleveraging, as you know, because I have been very clear about that. I don't intend to take on more debt than makes sense.

The problem today is cash investors looking for a return. Like with my primary residence loan, I called the investor who held my loan, and offered him $350K on a $500K Note. He sold to Douche Bank of Germany instead.

I make offers on debt every week. People either settle or don't get paid until they go to the expense of litigation. Most people are settling.

It's hard to deleverage $1Million in bebt, but doable.

To recap, I make money, and give money away. We pay extremely well from what I'm told, and it is pretty easy to make a good deal for every one, where every one wins.

People can win with me or fight, those that fight lose. I am a brutal negotiator. I'm negotiating with banks, so don't get that confused again either.

You are projecting your own fabricated fantasy here about me for reasons I think I understand, but find morally offensive.

You should think more, before you write.

SubOink says

At this point - you got bottled water - its worth $3.50 a bottle whether its really worth it or not. That's what you can get for it in the free market - that's what its worth.

This is just a very un-nuanced and specious argument. I'll get down in the grain on it if you really want, but I honestly, I have a feeling you're smart enough already to understand why it's bullshit.

robertoaribas says

so, your business plan is to stiff anyone stupid enough to loan you money.

You know banks make loans to people, every one, like in terms of credit cards who in 2008 were charging 28% interest.

I call that theft by deception.

Now professor, think about the stories I just shared with you.

Does my situation seem complicated? Well, you would be right, it is.

Has it ever occurred to you that some one may think your comments to me could constitute a liability? Because I really resent your implications about things you know to be untrue, but you continue to present them as facts.

robertoaribas says

Very successful, indeed.

You have no grasp on what success is. You demonstrate that daily.

David Losh says

That's not theft by deception. They clearly state the interest rates. If you take the card and are late on your payments, then how about you take responsibility for it? If the rates are too much for you, then don't get a credit card in the first place.

robertoaribas says

I guess we have different views of success.

My view: investments that pay me money, and go up in value.

your view:

1. not paying your debts, and blaming it on the banks.

2. getting IRS tax liens filed against yourself

3. suing and getting sued by people, per your own quote.

4. cleaning homes for $30 an hour.

As a final note, I occasionally hire companies to clean my rentals. So someone like you, works for someone like me. I know which side of htat transaction I prefer to be on.

Don't you think this pissing match has run its course?

Bigsby says

Don't you think this pissing match has run its course?

Guess not.

Prices continue to go up and the jealous haters continue to hate. I bet some hater punched his screen when he saw the title of this post, "case shiller up 8.1%". The appraisal estimate on my place increased another 5k in just one week. High end is 115k. Not bad for a 43.5k investment that was made less than 14 months ago. Who wants to kiss the ring? :D

robertoaribas says

2. getting IRS tax liens filed against yourself

OK professor, just to make you happy, I'll go in and make a deal to have the tax lein removed.

The banksters I'm still thinking about, but every one of them has an offer from me on the table. The ones who go to court get less, but I will think about the poor banksters you are so concerned about.

and your last point, hmmmm, let's see, would I be the guy getting paid, or paying?

It's not exactly what I'd call a stretch to suggest that economic volatility and consumer credit are two sides of the same coin, minted by the same tin gods who helped pull the chain on the American economy four years ago. I know if I was in the business of issuing consumer credit at usurious rates, it would sure help a lot if I had some venal lapdogs in the legislative branch that could help me engineer a playing field where such credit would be all but impossible for the middle class to live without.

It's a business model. You know what you are getting into when you sign up. That isn't deception.

Bigsby says

You know what you are getting into when you sign up. That isn't deception.

I know what most people are trying to get OUT of when they sign up: financial hardship. And I don't think it's a happy accident that the same fuckheads who are issuing this usurious credit to the working poor in America are the same financial institutions that helped gut the economy. You call that a business model; I call it engineering desperation.
