For all you real estate investors - a little humor: Very funny post about buying a castle

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Hard money lending for investors in NH and MA

Honestly, I think only real estate investors will like this, but it had me falling out of my chair laughing.

Biggerpockets.com is a website devoted to real estate investors.  An investor posted on the forum looking for a hard money lender to finance a castle.  Since that's my business, I of course looked at the post, even though I work in MA and NH only.  The castle thing got my attention, if only as a curiosity.

Well, there are 7 pages of comments, and eventually the moderator cut off further comments, but if you keep reading all the way through, it's highly entertaining.  Page 7 has a comment by Jeffrey K that that was priceless. 

Here is the post, but if you're an agent or broker and not interested in investing, don't say I didn't warn you. 

If you can get through the 7 pages of comments, it gets progressively funnier, with people calling the original poster an outright liar, posting the evidence of his lies, and then some people defending him.  Page 7 has the best post of all by Jeffrey K that had me rolling on the floor.   Enjoy!

Ann: I read a little of the blog and it looks like he is still trying to sell himself on the castle!!! He also said if you can find more like it he would BUY THEM!!! I wonder what his business is? (Good for a laugh this early Monday morning!!!)

Ann:

I'm buying that Castle, anyway.

Do they have 3% down FHA loans for this?
