music man Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I haven't posted since the new layout, however I thought you guys and girls would like this one. An EA phoned me yesterday seemingly offering the sale of the century. A 2 bed flat in a nearby town that needs a little work. He tells me with an accentuated voice that the asking price is £77K. I ask why he accented the word asking and he tells me £70K would get it and the argues that £65K would be a probability. He kindly offers me this once in a lifetime opportunity (my words) which I could rent out for 6 months and cash in at over £100K in the new year (his words). I mentioned that there is a long way to go yet IMHO and he replied, 'Oh you mean the double dip' to which I laughed and said yeah something like that. He asked my reasons why I laughed and thought so. I replied we are not having the biggest recession / depression in living memory / since the great depression for nothing, we still have a long way to go. Anyway - £65K buying with 6 months rent and then a sale for £100K = 50% profit. minus costs etc. It's that easy. If anyone wishes to buy into this, then of course I would be happy to accept up front costs of £10K for the infornmation on completion of sale. The prospective smuck would still get a return of at least £20K and I could start my first housing agency work a.s.a.p. Thanks for your time I'll kepp my phone on and await the plethora of enquiries.

200p Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 But you said it'll be worth £100K, but you said I could rent it out in six months? You got that in writing, huh, HUH??? You got it rent out, but I never said at a profit each month did I? What more do you want? You interested in this other once in lifetime opportunity or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scunnered Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I haven't posted since the new layout, however I thought you guys and girls would like this one. You can now get something pretty close to the old layout by choosing "IP Board Classic Blue (import)" in the box at the bottom left of the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
