Savvy Investor picks up on an Alberta Arts District fixer in Portland Oregon. As told in a recent blog right here Fixer_Buyers_and_the_Rookie_Mistake . The post tells the story of three buyers looking at the same property. All three eventually made offers. The story was factual. Yet today I recieved a comment from a reader suggesting the entire story was made up! In fact this is their quote ” Comment:
I think that the information in this blog is false! The stories are fake and the real world would never see anything like these stories. Thank you ” Now I for one don’t necessarily like overt frontal attacks. And I especially do not care for attacks that are based on no facts and are simply mean spirited and incorrect. I do though recognize the rights of people to have their oppinions.
Hence I did not choose to berate this attacker and make the comment open for others to respond. Instead I chose to give a response to that individual directly to their email.
Here is my response.
An Interesting comment that you left me on my post at www.portlandflips.wordpress.com and my Posting on Fixer Buyers and the Rookies Mistake. What makes this comment interesting to me is this :
- You do Not know Me
- You have made a unilateral decision on your own that you believe the information and the story was untrue
- You have not presented any evidence to support you allegation
- You have just chosen to lash out
I do not know why you would presume that I would waste my time creating a fabrication. To what end would that serve any ones purpose? I do not lie. I do not make up stories. I may embellish parts of a story to make it somewhat more interesting. But the basic tenants of the stories are Factual and Verifiable.
In regards to the posting the Property I was talking about is at 429 NE Webster in Portland Oregon 97211 and is a Fixer as you can see by the Picture. I have also provided here from the local multiple listing service RMLS the transaction history.
