Finding a house....my story...let's hear yours.

Nice skip over the Atlanta reference. This convo wasnt about growing or moving weed but rather buying a house that might be weed friendly. To advise people to invest such amounts of money in stocks without any formal training is bad advice. This thread isnt 5000 PLANT INDOOR GROW. Who do you think the audience is? Its not Forbes material, thats clear. Im not trying to get in your ass J. but damn some of this stuff just gets a little far-fetched for avg everyday growers. That other thread is for the dreamers.

Nice skip over the Atlanta reference.

I skipped it because I have absolutely no knowledge of what you were referring to. How can I respond to it when I have no idea what I am responding to.

This convo wasnt about growing or moving weed but rather buying a house that might be weed friendly.

And I addressed that, and, actually offered quite a bit of assistance to threadstarter in PM, and, they acknowledged what I had stated was correct.

To advise people to invest such amounts of money in stocks without any formal training is bad advice.

I think if you will take the time to actually read anything you are speaking of, you will find that no where, at any time, did I make such a suggestion.

(In fact, this is now amusing me since I stated the opposite very clearly, and also pointed out it was never the point....

Actually, both are applicable to anyone, anytime, anywhere......

If your sure enough about your statements, bring them into the other thread and let's see

I don't think having okay credit and buying something, and, growing a couple plants is much of a "dream"...btw.....If you consider that such, then, maybe you should do a little more reading......since it almost all is geared towards the "average" person...(okay credit, little or no money, etc).....

I also have to say I find it particularly annoying since, it is in fact, the case that I state consistently what one can do today...Now...I don't know if you think I read or watched some seminar.....but, nothing I have ever stated is not something I have done in real life, on a daily basis. Fact. These are my profession.

I would also suggest you re read thread and pay attention to posts #38, and #43 specifically.....

This is real...It does not matter if you believe it not to be.

It is

I would say, in your case, your first obstacle that you would have to overcome would be yourself ....I assure you, once past that, your home free ..

Ironic that someone so skilled in daytrading wouldnt be aware of the guy that walked into his daytrading office in ATL and mowed down a bunch of his peers:

I remember it quite well. I dont wish to get into a pissing match because Im not involved with the 5000 plant thread...and I do think your input there has been great. Carrying it over to threads like this and pretty much "suggesting" people become daytraders is nuts and dangerous. Like I said, Id rather put 200K on roulette and let 50/50 tell me the outcome. Or talk to a nigerian guy with a trunkbox full of stolen gold....

Well.....

1.I don't consider myself such......

and, again, relating to how things are misunderstood, "daytrading" classification is 4 or more trades in 5 business days...... Certainly not excessive.

Sometimes I do 1 in 5 minutes, sometimes, only 1 in 5 days....all depends....

I never stated such, and, have no idea where you have drawn that idea from.Period. Posts are above. All that statement proves is you did not read them before responding.

Your view of trading is neither something I can change, or wish to, but, again, it has no basis in reality. Not how it works, never has. Don't know what else to say....

 

[ItsGrowTime]

Say whatever fits your convoluted explanation. Seems to have worked pretty well so far I guess. Italics does wonders.

EDIT:

Why would I want to lay down 50k, 100k, 200k, 500k when it gives me 4x that in daily trading power.....200k is 800k daily trading power......only reduces payment by 1200+/-, yet with that trading power (800k) ......really unlimited potential....1200 is a 5 minute trade on a single day....(trading not my primary...but, sometimes, is greatest income stream I have...can be 10x my primary income...) Meaning in short.....wouldn't lock up 200k to save 1200 a month when that same 200k could be used to make 200k or even much, much more yearly.....

dude you edit your posts too much to even keep up.

 

[Julian]

I think you should read thread before making posts about thread.

(You missed these quotes btw )

I would never advise anyone to trade who does not already. Was an example.

Point still stands that it is easier for the average person to come up with $125 a month, then to save another 20k...

I think if you will take the time to actually read anything you are speaking of, you will find that no where, at any time, did I make such a suggestion.

(In fact, this is now amusing me since I stated the opposite very clearly, and also pointed out it was never the point....

and you edited my original quote, which stated:

Now.....(again, "average person".....) I think it's much more of a problem to come up with 20k, then $125 a month.,....

(Then, of course, you have just dropped all your money, reserves, etc, what if there is an emergency, etc, and, on flip side, 20k can also be channeled somewhere else, investment, etc......so.......anyway you slice it.....down's for "average" person really make little sense.....and, the more one is skilled at investing, it even makes less sense...)

I had same conversation with family previously regarding purchase of next house (home......primary....) about not putting anything/as little as possible down....

A further illustration......There are always many possibilities, my situation is one which illustrates one such scenario.

Hey back on topic kiddies. I need to ask some questions bout housing. I am currently going through a divorce and need a lil advice. I want to sell fast and get out but I don't have the money to make a lot of repairs to the house. What are my options? Can I sell without doing all this and how will it affect my sale in the end.

Understand I am just knowledge searching, I do plan on talking to a Realtor.

 

[Julian]

Repairs always cheaper than credits.....(people always want a 500 dollar credit for something that's 50 bucks.....) Better idea if "repair challenged" would be to go to craigslist and look for some handyman guys to do a bunch of quick little things.....paint a room, replace a screen, fix a leak, change a closet door, fix a gutter, etc, etc....

Competent agent or broker should be able to walk right in and tell you everything you should do, BUT........the reality is clear mind,and, take a look for yourself, trying to be as unbiased as possible and you might even see things they may not....(Really more about open eyes and mind than expertise.....)

ie: If you see it, they see it...Listen to them about price......too many people put too many factors into play when really about price......People get attached, but, have to remember, it's a commodity bought and sold.....all about price and value.....people bring too much sentimentality into it...

Now.....want to know some real advice?

DO NOT under any circumstances tell them it is due to a divorce.....not necessary, has no role in being disclosed during transaction.....(I say that because they will automatically use that information even in marketing....people buy it because they like it....all your doing by disclosing such up front is letting them know if they do want it and like it, you are more negotiable than the next guy....ie: your giving away cash even before you started negotiating.....

Also, be reasonable.......I've seen and had a lot of deals go south over pennies....When talking properties and negotiation, power lies in the property and desirability......ie: something special more leverage than something run down and overpriced, etc, so...your position lies in the property....the better it is (condition and price), the stronger your position.....

People think it's "kill and destroy the enemy" (negotiation)....but, actually, all about win-win, everyone being happy.......(real life examples: You piss off buyer and hate each other....well...you might be getting some mail...., and, you might actually want it, right? on buyer side...well, they might have questions for you, and, might help if they were actually able to call you with them .....so, always best everyone is on good terms with one another .....
