I wouldn't call it getting worked up. He was asked how what he claimed was possible and didn't answer after repeated attempts. If his spectacular gain in equity was true it could be explained in a short paragraph. It was made up and he didn't have a story to cover the lie, so he ignored the question. I even then proceeded to tell him how to cover for his lie, so I think I'm actually a nice guy and not worked up at all.
The numbers he provided didn't match about 99% of most likely scenarios. Sorry if I don't just eat bull shit because it's said on the internet. If you can't own up to your mistakes and lies, you're done with me. I won't waste my time. He's on ignore and I don't have any intentions of talking about this any further after this comment unless he wants to finally acknowledge it was all BS in the first place. I guess if lies are acceptable, then I suppose you'd consider my comments being worked up.

I was here, just not commenting. Roberto backed up and explained his moves logically. While his brashness wasn't liked by a lot of people, I had no problem with him and he was at least believable with his claims and explained what he was doing. He wasn't just saying he put down $100k on real estate, now has $1.6M in equity with no further explanation of how that was accomplished.
Ultimately it's okay to not know real estate. 90% of people know next to nothing. You can just say this area looks like a good place for some appreciation and move along. No need to make up false scenarios thinking it boosts your real estate cred. as BP did.
Final note, real estate is not luck for the most part. It's numbers. The numbers either work for you or they don't with contingencies built in. The rest is just management and the best don't even deal with that on a day to day basis. So Roberto wasn't lucky in my opinion, he was just willing to do what others were too scared to do at the time.
Also, I think I'm done with this thread. Joshuatrio was just making a point that for his scenario the grass was greener on the other side. This is 100% indisputable from someone not in the same shoes as him. For others to claim he could have done better in X location over ATL is complete BS and I guess that's what got me "worked up" on this thread.
Hilarious seeing people getting worked up over BP's claims whether they are true or not. His numbers certainly are not impossible.

This reminds me of the time when Roberto was here and many hated him for his luck.

The problem is that today we no longer agree on facts. Winning for your side has become more important than the truth.

Raising taxes is bad. Left wing is just going crazy lately, all they want to do is raise taxes and scream obsenities at everyone about how they are oppressed. That kind of stupid needs to be contained so it doesn't pull the nation down. It's why I respect Trump, he isn't like Obama who just bends over backwards, he stands up to this crap.

Here are my thoughts in order of my trip so far.
1) Nice weather
2) Too expensive (I paid - errr my company paid - $7.95 for a bottle of water the other day)
3) White men are pussies out here
4) The homeless population has gotten worse
5) I don't miss the druggies
6) I watched a guy shit on the sidewalk yesterday
7) This morning a dude was walking around with no pants
8) There are a ton of dike like women
9) Peet's coffee's bathroom's are only for gender neutral people, not gender specific people - so it seems
10) I prefer living in my paid off house in Atlanta, rather than a shack, that's $2-3k/month
11) The hipsters at work talk about guns like they are evil
12) I like my gun.
13) Hot weather in the south isn't that bad, especially when your neighborhood has a pool
14) I can swim outside and take my shirt off in the south, because it actually gets hot enough
15) I had a good sandwich the other day at an irish pub
16) These tech companies want employees to think they have a "hip" place to work, but in actuality, it's a bunch of developers crammed on a small table - slave labor.
17) I love telecommuting and keeping my west coast salary
18) The tv/news out here, holy shit, talk about living in a bubble. Thank God you guys have the internet
19) CA has to be the most family unfriendly state
Would I move back? Probably not. It really seems that it's regressing (despite being "progressive") into a shit hole.
