Real Estate Investor
I was coming into work this morning, and I walked past this ancient, rusty, beat-up truck that had its bumpers held on with bailing wire, and several windows from its bed cover missing. It was a total disaster waiting to happen. The tires were even almost flat as well. I started to feel sympathy for the owner because I’ve driven cars that look like that in the past, but I saw a sign on the side of his truck that went something like this:
Looking for Real Estate Investor Apprentice
“Click a mouse, sell a house”
%$50% commission%
Call: XXX-XXX-XXXX
Typically an apprentice looks for a master to learn a trade from. If this guy is driving such a vehicle, then he is either incredibly frugal, or a dismal failure. Either way, I would not want to learn any kind of investment trade from him. Secondly, trying to flip real estate on the Internet is probably not the way to get rich quick. I just don’t see it happening, but I’m sure that someone, somewhere has done it. Lastly, is the commission 50%, or $50, or 50% of $50? Wow.
I’m thinking that this guy probably isn’t going to be getting many phone calls to his listed number because of the ramshackle state of his poor little truck.
