GNL says

I don't care if you don't care either.

I don't care if you don't care if I don't care, boy

...

GNL says

Wookie knows everything and everyone else here knows nothing. You haven't told me one damn thing I didn't already know about the GFC. And even more projection.

GNL says

No worries, I was just seeing if I could learn something from you.

You literally don't know what Ad is even talking about currently in this thread. Yet you have knowledge about the housing crisis and how it went down? Take the pictures and stay in your lane. You're no different than an inspector trying to justify your role in real estate. Except now a basic phone can take photos as good as you can. Enjoy your industry while it last. Brokers are dip shits, but they can do your job with the phone in their pocket.

Make your money off brokers as long as you can, but don't think anyone respects a thing you have to say about real estate. You don't work in real estate. You work in photography. I have a doctorate in real estate compared to your high school drop out knowledge. I don't care if I'm younger, over half my life was involved in real estate as young at 14. Let me know the last subdivision you helped develop? Let me know the process and what needs to get done. I was doing that at 16. You're throwing darts and they're completely missing the board. You get insecure and defensive and fall to the level of name calling. Just because a narcissist out games you doesn't make me wrong. You simply don't know real estate and I'm a cocky ass hole. I don't give a fuck because I know what the hell I'm talking about after you ask question after question about basic real estate stuff. I'll own narcissist, you can own idiot.

No, MOST of them are boomers.

The Silent Generation is... mostly silent.

Wookie's a property developer now. Haha, you Crack me up. Your bloated sense of self grows every time we banter. Understanding what happened and how it happened ain't that hard to understand. You have 0 insider knowledge. And "knowing" what the fed is going to do with rates at any time would be a great gift enabling riches. Ad doesn't know where rates will go and that's what I asked him. I think @ceffer was the ONLY person here that called higher rates correctly while people, maybe you(?), we're shitting on him. You only know one thing about me. If agents didn't need my business (geeze, do you really not know that some agents still can barely register on a website) then why does my phone ring? My photographers make $300-$400 a day. You're more clueless than I thought.

GNL says

My photographers make $300-$400 a day. You're more clueless than I thought.

No I'm not. So you're McDonalds? I don't wake up for less than $1k a day for my family. The other thing is what do you make? You're maybe pulling 20-30% margins. Congrats on $150/day paying other real photographers. You're maybe making $60k per year off those numbers and that's giving you the benefit of the doubt that they work 365 days a year.

AND if you're paying them $400 day, that also says a lot about your business acumen. You're paying them $60-80/hr???? Maybe more? For taking photos? My oldest can take as good or better photos with his iPhone than your photographers can. You're out of your element dude. Stick to the photography and stay away from RE. You have no idea what you're talking about.

And yes, I've developed multiple website that have grossed well over $50M in revenue. Any other stupid comments. A retard can build a site with modern tech. If I'm a retard what does that make you?

You're not remotely a business person. I don't think you get out of bed at all. You're a self proclaimed drunk even. Go steal some $$ out of your wife's purse.

WookieMan says

AND if you're paying them $400 day, that also says a lot about your business acumen. You're paying them $60-80/hr????

Now you've really shown your ass. You have no clue what kinds of $$ a business can generate...in any business. I know a millionaire who owns a cleaning business. Damn wookie wookie, even that's better than you.

WookieMan says

Wow, wookie wookie is a "website" developer now. There are websites that do a hell of a lot more than just post static pages. LMAO. There's nothing he can't do and nothing he hasn't done and nobody he doesn't know. But lordy lordy, he's still trying to purchase a 2,200 square foot house half the size of a lowly photographer. He's so rich, powerful and smart that he lives in a cornfield in Illinois. A shotgun shack is it?

I live and work in one of the top 2 richest counties in the US. I look at even the richest 20 counties in the US and wow, none of them are in Illinois. My daughters went to one of the top 50 high schools in America.

Poor wookie wookie, always trying to prove himself...anonymously. On the internet. Bwhahaha

You've again proven my point. YOU pay photographers $400/day. There are no margins if that's what you're paying. I don't care what zip code you live in. The numbers add up to $60k/yr and you're getting all defensive about it. I'm sorry you didn't get married to a wife that kicks ass and makes money. That's not my fault. If you suck at that, I can only imagine the photography part of it.

And yes, my 2,200 sf will be better then your nasty house you overpaid for. Custom built. In ground pool. 1 acre. $2M home in your yuppie county versus what I'll pay. I ain't losing. That's for sure. Keep it up. I've clearly hit a nerve.

If all you say is true, it's not, you aren't fooling anyone, you wouldn't waste your very valuable time mucking around with a person beneath your status.

Not gonna lie, this is 100% my last attempt to help you.

Please call

1-800-hel-pme!

There's no shame in asking for help.

GNL says

I have plenty of time. It's called passive income. Your active income makes you a McDonalds manager. Congrats. You probably don't even have a wife, yet proceed to shit on people that are more successful than you are. I'm sorry you can't handle a woman that makes $300k. I can. She wants me. You sound like an ass dude. I've never disrespected you or you family. Jealousy is not a good look dude. Get me a big mac when you get a chance. You're one of the worst pat netters I've dealt with maybe ever. Grow a pair and man up. You take pictures for a living. An idiot can do that.

who am I to say but I guess that is enough to prove your point/opinion, no need to go personal level that does not add any value.

Blue says

I hope you're not talking about me. Look at the comment history. I ain't the bad guy. GNL has insulted me, my wife and family. I fight back. Is what is it is.

WookieMan says

Actually on both sides, though I don't read fully, just take it easy!

Generally I do. I'm proud of my wife and I've mentioned her on this site. I'll be blunt, you're (not you Blue) a dirt bag cunt shaming another man's wife. A fucking pussy. Sorry someone is so weak from their own insecurities. At no point on this forum did I ever attack GNL (wine horror and other names, lol) until I was attacked. I have the higher ground in this. He looks weak and jealous. Because he is.

"you're (not you Blue) a dirt bag cunt"

That's a personal insult, no?

No, mentioning that Blue is NOT a dirt bag cunt. He didn't insult my wife or my family like another user did. I also didn't mark any comments as personal. But I also will get personal when a user brings up stuff about my family. I have no issue with Blue at all. Was just explaining how and why a user has taken a dump on this thread for no reason and is wrong and doesn't know a lick about real estate. Again NOT Blue.

Sick of people that don't know shit about what they're talking about insulting other users. I will fight back.

"This is sustainable, never mind 7% mortgage rates! You chicken Littles!"

"This is sustainable, never mind 7% mortgage rates! You chicken Littles!"

You left off the end of the chart where the prices go back up after January 2023. Many people have this belief that this time is different, and that prices of real assets will decline during this period of inflation.

Since most real estate transactions have historically been done with financing, I can see why people would think that based on only a slightly higher-take-home pay, that the massive increase in interest rates would curtail the buying power and hence the price of SFHs. This begs the question, "What did the price of SFHs do the last time interest rates were at this level?" - The answer is...they went up.

Misc says

I snapped the chart exactly as it showed by default on the St. Louis page.

The last few decades were freaks. Demographics are all negative for the housing market. Boomers aren't gonna live forever, and many are depending on getting the cash out their house. Those who aren't, will need to sell due to health or death or fixed income from having to carry their old house and their retirement property. Sure, for a while people can hold out. But not for years and years.

New House prices are now cheaper than Used Houses, and builders are offering superior financing to most banks.

However much Boomers don't want to lower their price, because they can't climb up the stairs to the bedrooms...

Gotta hit the Lifealert Button. Which child do I phone ?
My lights are out and shining. But all I really want to know...

I need to sell my house, can't climb up to the Loo
Gotta take $100k less, so I can do my ADUs.

Now my kids live 3 states away,
They can't do the shopping for me...

I understand. I'm not going to moderate comments I'm involved in. I have no issue with you whatsoever. I know you had quoted me and I think Patrick made a mistake or someone else flagging it. No biggie. I'll stand by anything I've said when you come after my family, again, not you another user, I don't care about the rules. Another user attacked me under bull shit premises. He needs to stay in his lane.

Not you. Called him out by name already, but am not doing it again. You and I have had disagreements in the past, but you've alway been civil with me and we can have a conversation/discussion. This wasn't that. I have no clue what's been flagged at this point and don't care. Keep my fucking family out of it. I don't give a shit what I share here. You have another thing coming if you do that. Again this is not directed at you AK.

A steal at $450k! You won't find a basement lounge like this in a new build! My ex-wives and I got down in this room, imagine the chicks you'll get in here.

Interestingly, the building inspectors didn't take issue with the pods themselves.

Within five days, the firm must replace the lock with a type that doesn’t require a key to leave, in case of emergency, and must obtain permits within 30 days for the shower installation, the notice says. Brownstone also has 30 days to file a “change of use” permit to legalize the conversion to a residential space and the installation of the sleeping pods or, the notice says, the firm could revert the property to its “last known legal condition.”

True, as I would think in a progressive urban area that safety and hygiene would be a top priority.

What is the guideline on occupancy ? Is it based on number of bathrooms such as no more than 3 occupants per bathroom ?

Bro,

I was immersed in departments chocked full of H1's. For a while, I even reported to an engineering manager who was H-1. Funny story about that guy below.

It's true that there's warrens of the folks you mention packed like rats into apartments in places like Sunnyvale. That said, the typical path to the H-1 is to complete graduate school in the US. First, a BS degree "back home", then transfer to the US for the graduate degree. Grad school is where they make connections to be hired for a US job that will sponsor the H-1.

It takes money to get a solid BS degree in places like India. Lots of money, like the 1% of that country of over a billion people. And it takes money to send them to the US for their graduate school, - foreign student tuition, living expense, etc. I know about the warrens of exploited ones like you mentioned, I've even seen them for myself. But don't forget many, maybe most, of them come from billionaire 1% type families "back home".

(*). If the guy left the US he'd have to reapply for the visa. So, during one of his long vacations, he went to Mexico. Caught flights from there to Mumbai where he found his wife (probably she was already chosen in prearrangement between the two Hindu families). Came back home through Mexico, paid a coyote to get him back into the US. He only told us about all this after he was safely returned.

When he finally got his green card his wife joined him here.
