CrashIsUnderWay Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Just a suggestion - it would appear to me that most regulars on this board are just ordinary Joes (and Junes!) who simply want to own their own home and not become crazed 'investors' keen on inducting the rest of us into slavery for the rest of our lives so they can sit back in an easy chair and watch swedish porn all day. Given that, would it not be wise to establish a new forum called 'BTL Numpties' or something - anyone who wants to post 'Look at me, look how rich I am' or 'You should have bought 20 years ago you loser' type-threads can have their very own little playground. If the Bulls want to contribute to the discussion on house price inflation / deflation, fair enough, but to keep on dragging it back to BTL, when most of us just want a house to live in, is frankly irrelevant. If they REALLY want to discuss BTL pros and cons, do it in a new thread or p!ss off over to the Squealing Pig where such heads-in-the-clouds behaviour is the norm. I know, I know, they have probably caused this ridiculous bubble in the first place, but bragging about their 'investments' or offering retarded advice to 'buy now before they go up' isn't contributing anything. They DO have the ability to contribute something, but can't resist the temptation to 'crow' about their success (presumably as a form of displacement activity, as they must all have realised by now that the game is up) The upside is that we wouldn't have to waste so much time fighting back against their nonsensical 'arguments' and could devote more time to the important stuff, such as Dr Bubb likes to point out - when is the bottom likely, when is a good place to get back in etc. Mods? New forum? Just a suggestion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE MONKEY Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 BBB! Why don't you use your old username anymore? Oh yes, its because all of your posts had to first be viwed by a moderator after you constantly abused other posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashIsUnderWay Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Actually, KingoftheC0cksuckers, wrong, wrong and wrong. i think its obvious to everyone on the board (including you and your master TimeToRaiseMyPole) that things have moved on significantly now. The crash is well underway, and the time for frivolous chit chat is gone. In the past week alone I've been chased by 2 agents asking if my previously 'rejected' and 'insulting' offers were 'still on the table?'. Dunno about the rest of you lot, but now I am seriously interested - when is the entry point likely? Bubb reckons 3 to 5 years. Some reckon sooner. What's the preferred amount to knock off? Do we REALLY have to wait till rents cost more than mortgages again??? these are important questions, and fun as it has been to repeatedly stab you in the @ss with a hot poker, those days are gone my friend. Time to get real, I'm afraid. This stage shouldn't be clouded by your and your estate agent buddies' irrelevant and pathetic attempts to cheer yourselves up. If no one agrees, fair enough. Me, I just feel it suddenly got a lot more serious, and the opportunities will soon be hoving into view, so how do we capitalize on them? Sorry to not be 'playing' today Kotsucker, but as I say, time to get serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time to raise the rents. Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 In the past week alone I've been chased by 2 agents asking if my previously 'rejected' and 'insulting' offers were 'still on the table?'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I've always agreed that crap areas (where I'm certain you live) may be overstretched. Your comment clearly indicates I was right (and that you live in a crappy area). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzMosiz Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 KOTC and TTRTR why do you care so much about housing market if you're not bothered about house prices possibly sliding? Why are you on this board if you don't care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashIsUnderWay Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hi Ozz. Looks like the Mods didnt think it was a good idea, so the thread has been moved. Farienuffski. As for the dreamers you mention, I'd stop bothering now. We have to face the fact that the housing market is unravelling far faster than even we anticipated, and now we all need to make workable plans for how to deal with whatever scenario unfolds (30% off in 2 years? 40% off in 3? 20% in 1???) Time to get real again and stop playing with the trolls. My best guess is down 30% over 2 years including inflation. Tours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
