How's this invesment strategy working out for you?

So, you want us to all believe, at your young age (<25), that you own this beautiful house? What a bunch of BS.

Don't sweat it. Think about what motivates a guy to show off a car and a house like that. If he is that young then hopefully he will figure it out in time. And as an architect I can tell you that if I showed a client a design like that I would be fired quicker than that car can get to 60!

For that matter....who owns a 12000 sq ft house and drives a 335....and spends time modding a steering wheel. Seriously. Are you trying to impress people on the Internet by showing off your dad's house?

If people dont want to believe what someone posts about things they own why not just move on? Does it make you feel better to question and criticize someone? Especially considering you have no way of knowing the facts.

It's not like this post had some porsche technical or informational merit that need clarification.

I don't have a double wide, just a normal everyday single, but your more than welcome to take a pic in front of mine.

I will have to cut the grass before hand so you can actually see the trailer.

And why exactly would you be fired quicker than you can get to 60? Above your clients means? Not your clients style?. Location not desirable?
