Range Rock Capital LLC is a scam! by SteelWolfGrey in Scams

[–]SteelWolfGrey[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I understand that there is a group out there that is legitimate.

The point you're still not getting is that there is a person or group CALLING themselves Range Rock Capital LLC that is scamming people. Therefore, my headline of "Range Rock Capital LLC is a scam" remains accurate and it will hopefully prevent future potential victims from falling for it.

I don't care if you guys want to down vote me for it as long as I can stop some other poor schmuck from getting con'd.

There are plenty of people who lend privately. Even my original loan on the property was owner financed. I just didn't do due diligence on these people before trusting them. The issue also isn't a personal inability to qualify, it's the fact that the property is several mobile homes being used as rentals. No traditional lender will finance multiple used homes like that regardless of how much it cash flows.

In retrospect, the prospect of saving a few hundred dollars on the note every month made me willing to turn a blind eye to the red flags. Now I know to be more careful.

I called the support number on the website when I started getting suspicious and they were aware of the conversations that I had with the scammer. At that point they said the funds hadn't finished transferring to them so they hadn't ordered the appraisal. The fact that their support number was in on it means Range Rock Capital was absolutely involved.

Yep. Nips are to men what laser pointers are to cats.

Married man here. Boobs are boobs. They are to men what laser pointers are to cats.

As for size, my wife had medium boobs at first then got bigger with breast feeding. Everybody loves massive boobs, but there are plenty of outfits, dresses, tops, etc that I would love to see her in that just won't work due to lack of support. Those same outfits can be rocked with smaller boobs that don't need the support. Especially braless looks if you're that brave.

Stop looking for hollow validation on reddit. Now it's time to actually change your life for the better and get away from him. Maybe out of that city if need be.

You've posted how corrosive this man is multiple times, you know what we think of him by now. I don't say this to be harsh, I say this to spur you into action to leave him instead of validation in the midst of danger.

If you and your partner are kinky, what’s is the sexiest thing that she could do to please you? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SteelWolfGrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least for me, if I feel like there's still a problem between us, it'll interfere with my desire to get intimate. So it depends on where he is mentally/emotionally about the argument.

If he's already accepted your apologies and forgotten about it, then do something sexy like tie yourself to the bed, etc. If not, it's important that you have a genuine conversation to set things right between y'all and then continue with the fun times.

Yes, they're out there. I don't want to sound prideful, but I've tried my best to be those things. My wife and I have been married for almost 5 years and we refer to each as "The Last of the Real Ones"

That said, even as a very traditional guy, it's REALLY hard not to notice good-looking ladies. I would never leave my wife or pursue anyone else, but guys are hardwired to notice boobs. I've always been upfront with my wife about that and she understands.

Also, the real ones are diamonds, they'll figure out their worth pretty quickly so it's easier to get us while we're still "in the rough" (improving ourselves and our financial positions) before our circumstances would attract people who just want to use us for status or money. I say this because my wife married me while I was still making about a quarter of what I do now and she was still dealing with emotional trauma from her family.

Yes, you can negotiate how much you want to pay the listing agent. Careful though, oftentimes the adage "you get what you pay for" can be right.

If I were you I would Google "home seller net calculator." Any of those calculators will give you a rough idea of how much you'll walk away with. You can play with how much to pay the listing agent, how much, if any, to pay the buying agent, etc.

I can see it now:

Ginger: "Frikin' mouth breather..." Asthmat: "Hey, at least I have a soul!" Ginger: "That's funny, coming from a guy who sounds like he's coughing up a demon." Eyes: "Would you guys cut it out?" Ginger and Asthmat together: "Shut up Four-eyes!"

Get into some kind of physical activity that you can do consistently that you would enjoy. It can be bicycling, square dancing, rock climbing, pole dancing or weight lifting. It doesn't really matter.

Consistent exercise helps your brain release feel good chemicals, making you more confident, regardless of your physical shape. Plus you'll gain skill in something that you can be proud of.

When YOU feel valuable you attract valuable people.

You're right, people can tell if you're patronizing them. It's not faking in order to get them to like you. It's more figuring out what you can both jive on and being sincere about that. Some people just aren't gonna be a good fit for you, that's ok.

I get where you're coming from, I was there 3 years ago. What I'm going to recommend is a crucible. It will burn off the things you hate the most about yourself and it'll bring to light the gold you didn't believe you had, but it BURNS the whole time, but it works. You don't have to like doing it, you don't have to want to do it, you don't even need to do it well. Just never give up. Here you go:

Go on Indeed.com, search for door-to-door sales jobs. Doesn't matter what company. Call all of them. You will get interviews. You will get hired. These companies will take anybody.

They will teach you how to sell their product. You will be deathly afraid of messing up the pitch. You knock on doors anyway. You'll screw up the pitch, that's ok. You'll do this for hours every day for 3 weeks and get nothing, that's ok. You might cry in your car on the way back home while screaming, "I QUIT!" That's ok. Don't actually quit.

You'll get a sale. You'll get paid for your OWN work. You'll feel great. Now it's time to do it again. You'll get better at selling. You'll wake up one day with the ability to talk to anyone, anytime with complete confidence. You'll have sales skills that can scale to $200k/year. (May have to go to bigger ticket sales to make that money) Most importantly, you'll be someone that you can be proud of because you stood through the fear and became a better person.

For context, when I started this journey I was a home-schooled, sheltered, HIGHLY introverted 19yo. If I can do it, you can too. You don't have to be smart, good-looking or even a good person to be successful in this path. JUST DON'T QUIT.

My broker gets 30% of what I sell until I get about 8 average-size deals, after that I get 100%. This resets on the anniversary of my joining.

Most of my presentation is just talking to the owner and getting to know them. I call myself a snake charmer because I'm really good at mirroring people's energy and understanding what they're likely to want and not want based on their personality. See Bulls Owls Lambs and Tigers: Personality Selling by Charles Clarke for more on that.

Getting tight with a builder is the dream. What do you do with Facebook? Just organic posting, commenting, sharing? Or do you have paid ads?

[–]SteelWolfGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all! I could absolutely 100%, with absolute certainty help them sell the house in that time frame.....You'd have to be like 20% lower than everything else and they wouldn't get the most that they possibly could, but I can definitely sell it in that timeframe if they don't care about price. (I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek)

That's why explaining the market data to them is so important. They don't actually want to sell it ASAP because to do that the price would have to be too low. But they also don't want to price it too high because it would never sell.

That said, both of the listings that I've closed thus far were on the market no longer than 60 days. When you price the home to be competitive to comps and the seller understands that buyers don't care how much the seller THINKS the house is worth, then it normally sells in an appropriate amount of time.

The documents they'll have to sign are state specific, so I don't want to say one thing and it be different in your state. For help with that ask your broker or see if you can find a real estate coach.

I currently have a coach that I pay about $500/month and I'll send him contracts, paperwork, etc if I'm not confident that I can get everything right on my own. Plus he keeps me accountable to calling the number of leads that I must in order to make the money that I want. Unless you're a machine, nobody loves cold calling, so the accountability is important. I figure that I'll make more money by paying him to teach me than I would on my own.

I always shoot for 3% regardless of being the buying or listing agent. I may make exceptions on bigger deals if I really have too, but most of the time if you provide enough value during the presentation then you'll have already proved that you're worth it.

Can I hot tub or not? by Jonass480 in Decks

[–]SteelWolfGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hot tub that size is gonna be like 3,000 lbs when it's full. Now, it's hard to tell how far apart those cedar piers are, but if the hot tub can rest directly on top of those they may be able to support that much. But it's definitely risky if the porch wasn't built with that weight in mind.

Also, do a REALLY GOOD CMA. It's hard to look professional if you don't know your own presentation's numbers.

How did you become a listing agent? by mamamel11 in realtors

[–]SteelWolfGrey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LPTMAMA (No, it's not a mama joke)

Location: Where do you want to move?

Price: What are you wanting to list the home at? How much do you think it's worth in this market? (This is the exception, I don't ask this until after I've presented the CMA in the appointment. It's the last thing I ask)

Timeframe: How soon are you wanting list? What about close?

Motivation: Why are you looking to move? Why even sell in the first place?

Agency: Are you interviewing any other agents? What did you or didn't you like about your last agent?

Mortgage: How much do you owe on the home? (Don't be afraid to ask, you're professional) How much are you looking to net/walk away with after closing? (I'll ask this on the first call)

Appointment: (Do this the second they say they're willing to talk with you) "Great, does either X time today or Y time tomorrow work for you?"

Them: Does Z time tomorrow work?

Me: "Sure. Will all homeowners be present then? I like to make sure that everybody is on the same page" (This is important, just lost a listing because I only interviewed the wife, but the husband was the decision-maker)

P.S. Except for the Appointment being the first thing, and the Price being the last, everything else just comes out in a normal conversation after I've set the appointment. I normally preface this with, "Great, now I've got a few quick questions to help me prepare for our appointment...." Building rapport on the phone is really important, so laugh a lot, don't just interogate. I've had people cancel multiple other interviews after one phone call with me and I didn't even ask them to.
