More Money Than Brains?
We know you don’t have to have been a genius to have made a lot of money in the real estate market over the past decade but c’mon…Either that or there’s little correlation between spelling prowess and investing acumen.

I found the exact same note stuck into the gate of my (actually my little old landlady’s) house in Bushwick a couple of weeks ago. It’s obviously a con, but I had no idea “Michael” was so organized and prolific. Interesting.
If someone chooses to sell to this type of buyer because the sale will be completed more quickly and they understand they are getting below market value in return then I have no complaint. But I still have a moral problem with people who seek out the poor and uninformed in order to profit from their condition.
I called the guy once just for the fun of it, cause i knew before hand that i wouldnt sell for their offered price, but the one thing i have to take Drew up on, is the fact that there’s a price for everything and if someone is desparate for whatever reason and wants his money “YESTERDAY” instead of being dragged around 6 Months, its their perrogative as long as he/she doesnt go back on their offer or use other gimmicks to force a change on the deal.
I hate that when I don’t call because I’m not interested (as instructed), they still leave more notes the next week. If I catch one of the mofos leaving Michael’s little note, they will leave with it stuck up their ass. And who cares if they pay in cash or get financing, the seller gets real money either way. It’s not like you get an IOU or something. And fuck these predatory real estate parasites (and fuck the survival of the fittest argument). There is a moral obligation on the part of all people to be honest and not take advantage of poor, desperate or otherwise uninformed people.
Pretty much everyone i’ve met who says “have a blessed day” instead of “bye” has been a moron. (Yes, I mean moron, not mormon).
I worked for a company based out of Utah. Many coworkers are LDS and the “blessed day” is Mormon all the way. They did this where I worked in Boston back and eventually bought up enough real estate to build this cathedral/temple that is the tallest piece of real estate west of Boston. It ruined the entire nabe of historic colonial houses and turned it in to Salt Lake Boston. The Governer, Mitt LDS Romney, helped swing the whole deal since it was built in his east coast “home town”. If you think Rattner’s bad you should see what these guys do,as all of us “sinners” (see: not Saints) can’t even walk in the door of these high rise nieghborhood destroying Temples.
Maybe it’s this guy.

Darn sweet of him to give me his permission not to call if I’m not interested. I was going to call just to say, “no thanks”, but he saved me the trouble.
These notes are aimed at the little old ladies who have owned their brownstones for 40+ years, go to church every Sunday and don’t follow the RE market. I know several of them on my block. But here’s the rub — they ain’t anybody’s fool and they are NOT about to be taken for a ride!
