Investor Alley VII

Property Taxes Are Still Going Up

The County Assessor’s office has been reassessing homes at values higher than recent purchase prices. The Assessor’s office has argued that homes that were reassessed were done so at fair market value although it is more than what was paid for the home.

Anybody having this problem?

Get Back In Your Kennel, Puppy

WARNING: The content in this post may not be suitable for children or those that are sensitive to sexual content. Reader discretion is advised…

Real estate agents are made fun of on the daily (most deservedly). Agents are often compared to slimy used car salespeople, but there are a select few that can actually make fun of themselves and have a little fun with it. Unfortunately, there are also agents that take offense to everything and anything and we’re sure this post will not make those agents happy. Yes, we recognize that we’re just perpetuating the absolutely inappropriate conduct that took place, but frankly, we have no problem with it–share the info is our motto ;)

Back story:

Over the weekend, we got an email sent to us from an agent of a major SF real estate company. This email was sent to about 100 agents and managers within the company. What happened is that somebody took their S&M a little too far and it seems the DOM pissed off the SUB real good and the SUB wanted the world to know how dirty this agent is. In just about any “normal” office, such performance would be swiftly followed by an apology, a firing and a PR blitz, but in the world of real estate, people laugh, point fingers and share with each other. Real estate agents do not have much of a governing body to tell them what is right and wrong (think SEC for securities). Instead, agents promise to follow a code of ethics and each company tries to enforce such standards upon their agents, but when emotions rise, these independant contractors act out like children, email blast everybody and their mother and share very private stories about who’s screwing who, who’s in rehab and all the other bull sh*t that agents get caught up in.

In this case, a disgruntled SUB (non agent) decided to send an email chain and 3 extremely graphic pictures to the majority of the DOM’S (agent) company. Just imagine opening up a work email to find this sent to your entire company.

Emails:

from DOM (agent) to “puppy”:

[I] Would like to hear more from you as to what you see yourself doing and what you would like being done to you. Tell me how you would be of service. You were stellar at one time; can you be that supper bitch puppy again? I want to hear your thoughts in details.

Schteamed Schnapper

By Jack Schtuff:

Hungry for a fish feast? Usually I’m a fan of broiling or Q-ing salmon or halibut, as the flame adds some color and unmistakable flavor. However the purists-especially with fresh or self caught fish–may prefer to steam their catch. It’s a healthy, easy alternative – and it’s really hard to over-cook. Snapper, sole or other white fish seems to work best for steaming, but I suppose you could use any sorta sea meat.

Recipe for 2 – 8 oz. fillets. Combine the following ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside…

  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled & grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped fine
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup bottled clam juice
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
