Every time anyone posts one of these "woe is me, no one will hire me, why even bother" threads, I post advice on how to make a living without needing to get hired anywhere. It requires no specific skills or talents, just imagination and energy. But every time I post, I'm completely ignored. It can't be any more obvious that the reason you people are NEETs is because you're fucking *lazy*. Even if jobs were falling from the sky, you'd still be lying in fucking bed playing Mario League or whatever the fuck it is you people play.

Is your method perchance saving money for a year, than risking it all on an investment that may or may not pay off in a decade?
>>
>>25891794
>>25891802
Alright, I'll try this again. You need to *hustle*. Hustling is how you make money on the street. It means being creative and turning a quick buck on the grey market by finding or creating a market and then getting in and getting out quickly, then switching to something else. The important thing is always to keep an eye out for the main chance and jumping on it quickly.

For example, I was in Vancouver and happened to spot a whole bin full of leather belts on sale at Army & Navy for 50 cents. I bought the whole bin for $20. I had an itinerant's license for occasions just like that one (for which I paid $75 a year) which gave me the right to sell things door to door. I took the belts and sold all of them for $5 each in an afternoon. Then I took the money I made from the belts and made a bulk purchase of incense for 15 cents a pack, which I then sold door to door in the student ghetto for 75 cents a pack or three for two dollars. I managed to turn $20 into abour $350 in the space of two days.

I do stuff like that all the time. I made my living from that for years. All it takes is some initiative and creativity. And what's more, it's all cash, so there's no tax to pay. It's not as easy as punching a cash register and having someone hand you a paycheque, but it *anyone* can do it.

That's a decent idea. Where I live, door-to-door sales are very uncommon so I don't know how people would react (most probably in a negative way). Do you think an online shop will work (maybe selling things on etsy or ebay)?

retail will hire anybody as long as you can pass a drug test
>>
>>25891955
No. See, hustling works because you are creating a tiny market no one else has exploited, and then emptying it out. If you want to sell shit on eBay you're going to be competing with thousands of other people. The whole idea behind hustling is to avoid competition by doing something no one else is doing. Like you said, no one does door to door sales any more. If you know your market, you can exploit it. For example, I knew students were likely to buy incense, were likely to be willing to open their doors to a stranger, and wouldn't mind spending a couple of bucks on an impulse buy.

You don't need to sell stuff door to door, but you need to do it in a way no one else is doing. Make your own homemade air fresheners in mason jars in unusual scents like beer or coffee (you can find recipes on Pinterest) and sell them at flea markets. Buy a batch of janitorial cleaning supplies wholesale and sell them to businesses. Those are both things I've done and made a lot of money with, so I can guarantee it works. Be creative.

I feel for the ones lumped in with the rest who legitimately try and are actually able but just get declined for someone who had that few hours a week job.

Where I work now being my first proper job, I excelled quickly (chef) just because I was so sick of not having work and tried my best when I finally got one.

And it is fucking shocking how many people who have supposed experience can just come in and be total shit. And whats more horrible is that they're usually old people who probably should have retired or found a better line of work then entry level pay.

I really tried to help one girl who just joined as her first job, I am quite hands on with new people and insist on teaching until they're comfortable but nope, the older employees wouldn't let me get in on a shift, they didn't tell her what to do and made a conclusion on that alone they were shit.

>>
>>25892062
I do have a couple of pieces of advice. First, not everything is going to work, so never blow your whole wad on a single scheme; always keep enough back so you can try something else. And second, stay small. The capitalists don't care if you nibble around the edges, but if you find something really profitable, the temptation will be to go back to the well a second and third and fourth time. Don't. The capitalists will use taxes and bylaws and zoning and police and the courts to shut your ass down. Always take a small bite, then move on, so you don't attract too much attention to yourself.

Are you sending thank you letters? I'm in a similar situation, my contract ended and I just didn't get re-hired. Maybe you should phrase your employment there as a temporary thing and your employment simply ended. I'd end talking about it by emphasizing what you learned there and your enthusiasm to gain more experience. It helps a lot that you have a good reference, I was lucky in that as well. It was only three interviews, I went through 3 for just one company and then wasn't called back after the last one. Feels horrible but you just have to keep trying, it's a numbers game 100%. Just realize, as an HR major, this isn't anything against you personally. You are one among hundreds of applicants to weed through, it's all a game of phrasing shit right and going through the right hoops.

>>25892822
Not sending a properly formatted thank you letter/cover letter makes you look like an idiot. Having a nicely formatted resume and going through the employment hoops pays off more than half-assing it. A closed door isn't always closed. Besides, you should send the thank-you letter after the interview/before you know their decision regardless

actually if (s)he's been this incapable of finding a job for years, it probably is because of some kind of prejudice on the hirers' part (disability, race, social ineptitude, etc). it happens to a lot of people, sometimes without whoever is rejecting them realising it. some people just have certain characteristics that results in them getting discriminated against on a regular basis.

1). that's the same logic we throw at rape victims. whatever misfortunate one experiences must be brought on by them in one way or another.
2). even if it's on them, it's still discrimination through-and-through if multiple individuals are actively rejecting you for it.
3). it is a disability because it incapacitates your ability to function in any given social situation.
4). social ineptitude is a common symptom for a lot of disabilities (schizophrenia, autism, etc).

Sure, sure. But the problem is, someone has to pay the piper (insurances, taxes, pensions). So whatever you get can't be more than 30-40% of what you charge the client. This implies the corporation charges the client +$350/hr. This is possible, but I don't see it being anywhere near common.

Pension? Is it 1955? Very few private positions in the modern US get a pension.

No, all I said is that they often charge $150hr. The take home part was of your own creation.These guys are probably taking home about 75% of what they charge the client. They do very well for themselves.

Now I've given up completely and I have good reason.

I am literally NOT a part of society. Everyone has made that clear, I'd be a complete cuckold to keep trying. Call it an excuse but I don't see why I should continue this futile effort for the rest of my life just to prove I am a good person to people who seem to hate me whatever I do.

If the excuses were viable enough to keep a person out of work then they should be in a halfway house or group home. Places where they can be assisted in developing themselves or conditioned to join society rather than being mollycoddled.

Turns out, at least according to SSA, it qualifies for benefits because employers don't like having workers with issues regarding anxiety or depression. Enough so, that some states give tax breaks to businesses hiring disabled people as a means of encouraging them to get into the workforce: https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Tax-Benefits-for-Businesses-Who-Have-Employees-with-Disabilities

Depending on your career choice and major, most employers don't even consider your diploma or your college work as desirable 2 years after graduating.

>>25896221
Dude it was night time custodial services. It's perfect for me since I stay up late to begin with. And I can just chug through work and not have to talk to people since I don't really like talking to people to begin with.

I'll just put it like this. My previous landlord offered me to work for him in lieu of rent while I went about finding a job. Dude was born in the 1950's Navy Seal and all that.

This guy complemented me on my work effort. But I couldn't find work, so when the lease was up, I became homeless for a while. The sad part is this guy actually got me a MANAGER'S REFERRAL for working at a Lowe's as an overnight shelf stocker, I did not get a call back.

That's the major disconnect here between all these people saying that there's all these jobs. How about one of them take up a hobby, posting resumes resembling what many of our resumes would look like, and see how many times he actually gets called to interview.

Look dude, I even did the door to door, asking for work thing.

Half the places didn't ask me for a resume, they asked me to write my information down on what amounted to scrap paper. Like not even a full sized piece of paper at all.

But after facing experiences like that, how demoralizing it becomes. I don't collect welfare at all, nor do I agree with those who post wagecuck threads, but for the average neet who did try only to be faced with treatment like this, I sympathize with them.

How wonderful that you still seek to condescend to others whilst identifying as a never-were, an I-give-up or whatever the fuck.

Thoughts and emotions have never been proven. Actually that's even true. Thoughts snd emotions are just thoughts and emotion and not the truth.
On the other hand psychosis for instance is real. I knew a woman who made a ritual with an animal organ in a park (it was in the news because there was a mess in the park of course). The woman wanted to summon a demon and tell him to heal the world. Do you think that psychosis isn't real?

But seriously, you should've picked a career path with high demand and low supply. Even when i can't get any directing jobs, I have a minor in computer science so I can basically find a job anywhere.

And why are self-proclaimed NEETs so cancerous? Like, they're... proud of mooching off taxpayer money, but at the same time constantly make fun of people with jobs who fuel their "lifestyle"...?

It barely matters whether NEETs want to work or not. The fact of the matter remains, there are not enough jobs left for the population. This is in part due to increased automation, but it is largely because of the fact that we're simply running out of cheap energy sources. The huge amount of growth from the past century was mainly from the plentiful amount of untapped fossil fuels. Now that they grow scarcer, economic opportunities in turn grow scarcer.
We don't need this many people working anymore, and entire sections of humanity are becoming redundant. In the next 50 years this will lead to either a guaranteed universal income, or a mass die-off.
I'll let you figure out which outcome is more likely.

Actually, it's worse than that. It's an attempt to redefine science. Science, redefined, is no longer the empirical analysis of the natural world; instead, it is any topic that sprinkles a few numbers around. This is dangerous because, under such a loose definition, anything can qualify as science. And when anything qualifies as science, science can no longer claim to have a unique grasp on secular truth.

No thanks.

NEETs are just ahead of the curve. Society is getting automated at an alarming rate now, and this economic system will eventually implode as a direct result of it, the jobs are just not coming back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU

The idea that everyone has to work is already ridiculous. We're entering the age of abundance, all we have to do is correct the distribution system so that everyone can have a reasonable living, instead of billions of of people starving while some can literally swim in money like Scrooge McDuck.

People who are angry at NEETs are just clinging to the dogma of the past, where everyone was indoctrinated into thinking that everyone had to work. This was admittedly true back in 1890 or whatever, but it's not true any more and never will be again.

In part due to the NEETs leaching off of the system (yes, I'm lumping you in with the dindus and white trash sitting at home all day puffing on a pipe).

So yes, I suppose NEETs are more prepared to live as filthy scavengers because they basically already are. Of course, I'd love to see a NEET HamPlanet try to forage for food, would make the entire apocalypse worth it.
>>
>>25900581
NEET's are sustainable for the most part whilst the dindus and chav mums are not. We live minimalist lifestyles and could survive quite comfy in one of those japan style pods.

chavs and dindus just shit out kids and expect the government to raise them further adding to the problem, NEET's are unlikely to reproduce and have any sort of impact.
>>
>>25900804
...then how are they ahead of the curve? You can't have a societal impact if your "culture" dies out after a generation.

NEETs will still exist, but since the only people having kids are non-NEETs, they'll only come from the same percentage of children as before. They'll always be a fringe reaction to a shitty world.

I almost sympathize with them, and will probably live as a semi-NEET for a while, but it isn't a sustainable movement. They're basically like antinatalists, except slightly less stupid.

My area has undergone a lot of gentrification in the last decade or so. Maybe more than any other area in the country. Obviously what comes with that is a seismic change in the population's demographics. There are still a few holdouts from the old days. There was a women on my street who was a NEET shut it. She hung a sheet in front of her porch so it was difficult to to see, but every once in a while you'd catch a glimpse of her, I guess getting some air. She was easily 400 pounds. A few of my old timer neighbors told me about her. She never worked, and had inherited the house from her parents. She died last month. 46 years old. Today some men were cleaning out the house. The men doing it had to wear full on Hazmat suits. It was crazy.

So keep it up NEETs, and welfare pimps. Once you pass a certain point, there is no going back. And I assure you, there is not going to be a happy ending to your story.

Untrue. H1s are there for positions where there is a lack of US talent. No one wants to deal with H1s, it's a pain in the ass. It's always a last resort.


>H1B visas who they can basically hold as slaves cause if they fuck up they fire them and eject them back to their home country.

This is somewhat true. Except most of the company's that hold H1s are of the same ethnicity (chiefly Indian). But yes, they exploit them, and it's basically a form of indentured servitude.

Bullshit, they love them cause they are basically slaves. Why do you think Indians are all over? They work for slave wages, not cause they have any actual skills that aren't here. They don't want to pay a guy a competitive wage here, which is what we expect to move positions. It is well known they have non-competes and deals to keep wages from going up. They will go for years without filling certain tech positions at a lot of places just cause they won't pay. The talent is out there, but capitalism sucks when they actually have to adhere to it.

The H1s are most frequently consultants. The Indian consulting agency holds their H1, and contracts them out. And H1s are transferable. You can't force them to stay anywhere.

You can't even legally put an H1 in any position you want. Only certain positions are even eligible.

If you want to hire an H1 directly, once you throw in the transfer fees, the immigration attorney, green card sponsorship etc., hiring an H1 is actually more expensive.

I work in the industry. I do it everyday. You sound like a pol meme.

>>25902927

Yeah, no they aren't. They are lobbying constantly to allow more H1Bs based on them lacking the skills here. That is their requirement, they have to be unable to fill the position with an american. So they play games until they can make that happen.

Of course, it's not a perfect system, and there is abuse. But 98% of the times we deal with H1s it's they are highly educated and highly skilled, and they're in areas, where there is a VERY noticeable lack of American talent.


I'm a landlord too. If you're making 160k, you'll spend 3000-4000 on rent. As long as you don't live in one of the most expensive areas you'll be fine.

Most people move further out when they have kids. Only real ballers raise families in the most expensive neighborhoods of NY.
>>
>>25903242

That number was pulled out of your ass and there isn't a lack of talent. We have shitloads of talent, they just won't pay for it. I have dealt with it hundreds of times when dealing with internal positions or positions for friends, people I know who have companies, etc. None of them can figure out why they can't find someone, then you see the pay rate and tell them to raise it and they will get someone. Again, supply and demand is always lauded until it affects wages, then suddenly company welfare has to save the day.

i've worked at places where NO ONE was mediocre. not really exceptional either. but everyone was sharp, and was college educated. and then i've worked at places where people literally couldn't maintain consistent style in an email.

http://study.com/articles/PeopleSoft_Developer_Career_Info_for_Becoming_a_PeopleSoft_Programmer_or_Developer.html

Outsourcing of jobs may limit opportunities in the U.S.; candidates with a relevant 4-degree, up-to-date skills and experience with a variety of computer programming languages will enjoy the best opportunities.

Cause they outsource everything. A peoplesoft programmer isn't some magic unicorn, a developer can figure out most shit fairly quickly even if they don't know it, again, you just don't want to pay for it.

Also, I am willing to bet you base your "almost no" number on the fact that you got barely any responses to your job openings cause you pay shit. Like most idiots in any business, you think supply and demand only applies to things you sell, but conveniently forget that supply and demand also works with labor as well, until the system is fixed with cheap labor from 3rd world shitholes.

Indian programmers are fucking horrible, literally any developer will tell you this once they see their spaghetti code. Hell, work with their software for a bit, it is always a mess, mainly cause they don't give a fuck cause they are just there long enough to move to the next job.

And btw, you sound like a corporatist who hates actual capitalism.

>>25903739

Oh christ, recruiters, HAHAHAHA. That is like the next real estate for failures.

Banks do nothing but dumb shit when it comes to systems and IT, know quite a few people who work for banks. They still do shit like buy T1s, use traditional telephony, use 20 year old systems and code they could have redone and saved millions over a standard lifecycle on.

They are in financial, so it is hard to not make money hand over fist even when you make terrible decisions, much like oil companies up until recently.
>>
>>25903803

Yea, but you already lived there, why would I move there now? SF or NYC were probably great before the insanity, but now it is retarded to even suggest someone move there and try to live for 160k a year, they will have to live in a shanty.

>Banks do nothing but dumb shit when it comes to systems and IT,

You sound like a compete fucking idiot.

Banks pay the most and outside of maybe the Googles and Facebooks of the world, have the top talent.

How much of a fucking egomaniac are you? Do you realize how much money these banks would loose if their systems fail when the market is open? I'm not even going to mention the quant groups.

Don't listen to that idiot. NY was plenty expensive when I moved here too. You start in a shitty place with roommates and work your way up. I started in an SRO, and now own 2 houses. Oh btw, If you're making 160k a year, you're going to have a very nice place. That dude is just running his mouth because he is mad at the world.

here are the methods i've tried. usually 2-3 per interview:

>i need this job to earn money for grad school, to become a more qualified employee
>this job would allow me to live comfortably, opening up more free time for me to engage with the community
>i'm better than almost everyone you'll interview because i'm not a typical douchey millennial
>i'm funny in the office. here's some banter.
>i'm a complete follower, and will never cause discord against management. here's me demonstrating absolute passiveness.
>we wuz kings and shit. i duhmand muh job.

which of these should i emphasize more?

>>
>>25903937

They pay a lot, but they hardly get the top talent. No top talent is amped to go work for a fucking bank unless they are doing investments as they don't really have interesting projects. It is clear you recruit, not work in the technical field or you would know this.

>How much of a fucking egomaniac are you? Do you realize how much money these banks would loose if their systems fail when the market is open? I'm not even going to mention the quant groups.

Failures on what exactly? Every large company makes changes outside of production in a lab, old code sucks and is slow/clunky/hard to find programmers for, but clearly will continue working similarly. Depending on whether they are doing HFT or not, they might have top of the line network equipment, but generally it is just older kit with normal update cycles every 3-5 years. Granted it is redundant, but it isn't top of the line or some shit. They are all cheap as fuck, I have done consulting and know people who work in banking and HFT, the HFT people will pay, banks don't give a shit as long as it works and aren't interested in updating old code.

All goes back to, I'M A RECRUITER, I TALKED WITH A FEW TECH PEOPLE. You aren't technical, give it up. People who are actually interested in tech projects and innovation go to startups or companies like facebook/google, etc. No one wakes up and is like FUCK YEAH, time to go do some innovative shit at a bank.

Yea, those 4 years were right at the end of the major housing collapse, so now you are going to tell people how it was all your hard work when in reality you just caught the opportunity and then just gloss over that fact. You probably nearly stole those houses and now pretend like you were just a hard worker.

Welcome to luck, right place, right time.
>>
>>25904223

Never said they were, just that those people generally don't care about MUH RICHES as much as a challenge/project and the passion behind it. You don't seem to understand what drives a lot of those people and it isn't being a billionaire, otherwise they would just go into investment banking and make millions. Hell, just pursuing math or physics and working for banks on trading algorithms you make a killing if that was all they cared about.

Top level people generally start their own companies, work at startups in hopes of shares and a buyout while doing cool projects and the startup lifestyle that comes with it or they work highly prized positions at already existing tech giants. No one in the tech field that is top of the top is pushing for banking first, they just end up there if they didn't make google or hope to just pursue some bank money.
>>
>>25904443
Buying when the market bottoms out is luck? Kek.
>>
>>25904686

Sure, you have to be around the right spot, have the cash and ability, catch the right deal and then move in. Tons of people were out of work and broke at that time when the market shit. Basically you are giving people advice that would have been helpful 5 years ago, but not now. If the market starts to shit again, then sure, that would be alright advice.

I don't think anyone is perplexed by the concept of buy low, sell high. You just have to have everything line up to take advantage.
>>
>>25904580
Dude plenty of tech people like $ as much as anyone else. Banks attract lots of elite talent. Esp. non-white suburban millennials. All those start up people are chasing cash too. . In the long run, banks are frequently the smarter play.
>>
>>25904744

Sure, they like money, but if you give them the choice of bank projects which are a fucking snorefest or some dynamic startup/google type environment, I think we both know what most will choose.

Banks are fucking boring to work for, so you have to just be in it for the money. That isn't bad, just not the drive behind the majority of tech people, especially the elite as they are usually very passionate about the field. Rarely do you get a top tier talent person who is just kinda meh towards what they do and only pursue cash.

>>25904731
The NYC market wasn't hit very hard. More stalled development projects then plummeting housing prices.

I moved to Brooklyn when I was young, because it was cheaper. I invested in my neighborhood (Wiliamsburg) because I saw value. Turns out I was right, and I made a lot of money. I wasn't born here. It wasn't luck.

If I was 25 now, and looking to buy my first home, I might looks in Ridgewood. Frankly you should ask a 25 year old, because they would know better than I do. Point being, a smart 25 year old would know where there is value. It changes constantly.

Buy low sell high is the aftermath. First you have to see value. Then you have to accept and mitigate risk. That's what separates the guys who get rich, from the guys who complain.

>>25904794

White millennial hipsters, yes. Older people, foreign born people,conservatives, and some nerds aren't so much into that culture. It can be cloyingly juvenile and twee.

Banks are boring to you (me to), but plenty of guys (even tech guys) get off on putting on the suit and heading down to Wall St.

They get plenty of elite talent. PLENTY.
>>
>>25893502
we are all but cogs in the gears of fate
>>
>>25904939

The problem with this mentality is you assume it was due to skill and again, not just luck. If you did it over and over and over again, then it could be argued, but you did it once in a place that you said you live in in a place that is a world hub. That would be like if you invested in London property and said you made an amazing investment. No shit it is going to do well, it is London.

Also, counting your investment as gains before you sold is a bit rough.
>>
>>25905012

The problem is most of those people aren't innovators or major talent, they are just good enough to work there, people with revolutionary talent, especially developers, can make tons of money working on their own, much more than a bank. They are a bank, the fuck do they need top tier programmers for? They aren't doing innovative new tech, they are just using databases and front ends, a few pieces of simple banking software for in house and some apps for customers. There isn't anything revolutionary going on there, so they can claim this top tier talent, but why would they need it? Sometimes good enough is all you need.

If they are doing HFT, then they have guys that just sit and work on trading algorithms all day, generally they are just math/physics majors. Nothing fancy going on at most banking institutions, it is similar to working for any other major firm that isn't tech focused. You become a cost center, not a revenue stream, so they don't give a shit other than make it work.
>>
>>25905076
Believe me, Williamsburg, Brooklyn was no blue chip investment when I moved here. If anything it was distressed.

Also, I own multiple properties and have been buying and selling for the last 10 decade. So you're accusation is a bit rough.
>>
>>25905185
I agree to a certain extent. But again, you're thinking of a certain kind of white millennial (and Asian) talent. Most startups never amount to anything. More than most, almost all. Do you think guys with families and mortgages, want to deal with looking for a new job every 8 months? People value stability too.

How many people have 'revolutionary' talent? A handful? I talk to guys all the time, who only want finance. They won't even consider startups. Can't say I blame them. They're mostly bullshit, and the people are beyond annoying.
>>
>>25905187

Right, you bought in an area during a recession that has inherent value due to proximity to major world hub centers for finance and other large money businesses. That is a no brainer. Try it outside of NYC, people do that all over in other non-sure markets and make tons of money, but it requires a lot of work.

Considering what you are talking about has been happening all over NYC since at least the 70s, it wasn't some magic prophecy on your part, you just watch for it to dip and you know people will eventually move to it when the other spots get too expensive and the economy recovered.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/12/new-york-brooklyn-williamsburg-gentrification

There is an article talking about it and how they are already working on finding the next hot spot. It isn't going to stop as it has been cycling for like 40 years and the area is going to be the last place to ever die off in the country, so it is a fairly sure thing.
>>
>>25894417
That is such bullshit. Such a fucking lie and you know it.
>>
>>25905185
Also, my IB clients won't look at anyone w/o a degree in CS or EE from a top 10 program for their trading desks. I think that qualifies as elite. I don't know what you're going on about.
>>
>>25905322

People with families generally give up on the passion you have to dump into a career and focus on family, which is normal. You only have so much of yourself to give, so you find a safe spot if you have a family, which is banking. If you don't spend tons of time honing your craft, constantly keeping up, etc., you will not be cutting edge or even top level talent. Unless the person ignores their family and just says fuck it, they aren't top tier talent in these positions.

>>25905403

I made it clear HFT is different, but that is mainly cause they have to deal with specialized algorithms for trading, speed is of the essence and they can't have failures. But this is still horribly boring work, so it just attracts technical coders, not the creative top tier you are suggesting. Just cause they made it out of a top school doesn't mean they are somehow the best at coding, plenty of the upper echelon either have degrees from meh universities, no degrees or unrelated degrees.

Again, you just need it to work right, not some technical marvel. They aren't creating something that's never been done, they are just crunching at the bit to shave microseconds of latency off things like network and program run time. It is boring, mind numbing work and not the desire of most people in the field.
>>
>>25905375
>That is a no brainer.

If it was a no-brainer, everyone would have done it. Big money was in years, after me and my friends got it. Now I get asset managment firms calling me everyday wanting to make me offers on prperties I bought 10 years ago.

>Try it outside of NYC

I'm not sure I would invest in real estate in the US outside of NY and SF. Too volatile.

>Considering what you are talking about has been happening all over NYC since at least the 70s, it wasn't some magic prophecy on your part, you just watch for it to dip and you know people will eventually move to it when the other spots get too expensive and the economy recovered.

Nigga, am I claiming to have invented the wheel? I saw value, invested, and made a lot of money. End of story.
>>
>>25905477
So no elite people work at the banks, except the ones who do. Great.

Anon, not everyone is the same. Not everyone is chasing the startup golden ring. Most of those people are in SF now anyway.
>>
>>25905493

Everyone can't do it, might be because the risk is too high for them at the time, they don't have some insider info in this case that it sounds like you got. That neighborhood was eastern euro immigrants, I assume you fall into that and the community talked and you snatched it up. Try it in china town or something, you won't get a word in cause you aren't part of the club.

Even then, you lived there and saw the writing on the wall when a few people started coming in to change the neighborhood. You won't do it anywhere else as you say it is volatile, but that breeds movement and therefore a chance for gains. The real reason you don't is cause the ins you had aren't there. Let's not kid ourselves, you won't do it in SF either.

Your suggestion that anyone can just wander in and do what you did is ludicrous, if they come swinging in now, they will pay shitloads for garbage property and have to live in a shanty. Even if you do well there, you still have to live your life for decades in a tiny little craphole house. They also would have none of the local knowledge of the area that you had due to living there.
>>
>>25905562

They aren't really elite though, I know a network engineer that moved to a HFT company in Australia, he wasn't the top of the top. Basically your claim is all graduates from a top university are top tier, which is false and you know it. Between admittance for diversity and variations in levels of the person meeting the entrance requirements, some might blow it out of the water, some might barely squeak by and then you run into people who barely make it through, some cheat, etc. Hell, India has a whole culture built on cheating, so these magic H1B visas that are apparently top of the top are from a place that literally rioted when politicians suggested policies to stop cheating at universities. You seem to have gone away from that point in the first place, the H1B visa problem. Hell, hire americans all day for all I care, but the H1Bs are the issue.

>That neighborhood was eastern euro immigrants

No, not really. Back in the day, the North and South side were mostly Hispanic, and the East Side was Italian. I am part of neither community.


>Try it in china town or something, you won't get a word in cause you aren't part of the club.

Again, untrue. Maybe true when renting an apartment, but when selling property, people take the highest offer. If you don't believe me, take a walk around what was once Little Italy.


>Even then, you lived there and saw the writing on the wall when a few people started coming in to change the neighborhood.

My brother lives in SF, and that and business takes me out there regularly. NY and SF have a unique advantage, not only because they're major business centers, but also their geography deters sprawl. I didn't invest in SF, because managing a property from across the country is a pain in the ass. I did make my brother buy a place 5 years ago though. He sold it last year, made a ton of $, and moved to Marin County.

>Your suggestion that anyone can just wander in and do what you did is ludicrous, if they come swinging in now, they will pay shitloads for garbage property and have to live in a shanty. Even if you do well there, you still have to live your life for decades in a tiny little craphole house. They also would have none of the local knowledge of the area that you had due to living there.

I never suggested anyone could do it. But why am I so special? Of course you have to pay your dues. No one is saying otherwise. But guys bought in Greenwich Village in the 50s. And guys bought in SOHO in the late 70s. And people bought in Tribeca in the early 90s. It will happen again, and smart young people will capitalize.
>>
>>25905981
This poster is actually exactly right. Bushwick has already become the new up-and-coming Williamsburg, and the new Bushwick is basically Bed Stuy/Crown Heights. Right now there are a few buyers picking up shitty old apartment buildings and gut renovating them. If I had the capital, it would be a pretty good investment, honestly.
>>
>>25905981

Not talking about selling, obviously they will take money from whomever, I am talking about getting local information, but yes, Williamsburg was heavily eastern euro and still has some of it around however gentrified it has got.

So, you have a family member as an in in SF, that is why you are comfortable with that. Also, if you had the money you claim off this, you would just have a management company manage all this property. Any millionaire I know with properties has a company do it for them and anything past about 3 properties and most people quickly move to property management companies. Everything from a few homes to multi million dollar apartment buildings, they all used management companies.

You did suggest anyone can do it, but they don't have the same connections you do. Moving from some other spot to NYC randomly at this point would be awful and you know it, but you are in real estate and gain from people moving there, so I see the drive to talk it up. Never trust a man's advice when he has something to gain off it. By the time most of them get enough capital to buy anything, they will have had to live in squalor for decades and hopefully the climb hasn't stopped or gone so high they can't afford even the trash property. One person has a good idea, everyone does. You were just stuffed there from outside the country, worked like most people do, then invested. Not a bad thing, but not something you did without some luck of the draw.

Most millionaires I have met and have befriended will at least admit they had a lot of lucky breaks or helpful situations to get them there, you seem to be adverse to admit it.

>Williamsburg was heavily eastern euro and still has some of it around however gentrified it has got.

I think you're thinking about Greenpoint (Polish). Williamsburg was never heavy E. Euro. It was Hispanic, Italian and Hasidic Jew.

Why would anyone invest in anything you don't know a ton about or aren't comfortable with? Yes, management companies. You could do it. Still a pain in the ass. And I'm a millionaire. In fact a multi-millionaire. But I'm not that rich. I don't just throw away $. I've got a crew of contractors that I work with, when I need them. Why would I need a management company? To collect rent checks? It's not that hard.

>Moving from some other spot to NYC randomly at this point would be awful and you know it,

I don't know it. I moved to NYC randomly, w/ very little $. Kids who work for me do it. Fuck, there are TONS of young people here. Why are you r9k people so invested in talking yourselves out of things? All I hear is what you can't do.What's impossible. If I had your attitude when I was in my early 20s, I'd be some miserable cubicle jockey now.
>Most millionaires I have met and have befriended will at least admit they had a lot of lucky breaks ...

IDK, 'luck' can't be qualified. Was it luck that I was an indifferent student, and wound up in commission sales, because I didn't have that many other options? Was it luck that once I found myself in commission sales I got super competitive about it? I mean really, whose to say?

You would need a management company cause you just said you have issues managing more properties. Literally the only way to scale any business is to offload some of the work, stupid shit like repairs and dealing with tenants would be something to offload and scale as you buy more properties, this is business 101 and pretty much no one manages their own properties, especially people who are millionaire real estate moguls.

I am not an "r9k" person, I have a full time job in tech, live quite comfortably and work very little so I have time for personal life vs being a workaholic, just what I prefer and I sacrifice some monetary gains for it, worth it to me. No one looks back and says they wish they worked more. I live in Dallas, not like we don't have a booming economy and I know plenty of real estate people here, you just seem to have a confusing way of going about it since it won't scale with you running everything.

I already said I have a crew of contractors I work with. Outside of that, what do I need a management firm for? Rental properties here go in under 24 hours. It's literally a couple of hours of work every few years. Other than that, the most I do is answer emails, and go to the bank once a month with checks. It's not hard. And, I'm not trying to grow the business. It's not even my main gig. It's my side hustle. If anything, I'm scaling back, and taking more time off these days.

Because you literally said that you can't invest in SF cause you said " I didn't invest in SF, because managing a property from across the country is a pain in the ass"

That would mean you could use a management company to do it for you and still do it. Why not just say "I don't want to" instead? That was my only point, you led me one way, then seem to get all defensive when I present a solution for it that is very common.

I am not ambitious for anything but what I like, pretty much just working out and health, socializing and some hobbies. I have more than enough income to have all that, a spacious house, the stuff I want around the house and some left over. I watched my family work themselves to death on farms and doing blue collar shit and I told myself I don't want that, I refuse to sacrifice comfort now for some money later in life. My retirement will be a shotgun in the mouth as being old is awful.

Living in NYC in shit conditions for a little bit of money later on is not worth it to me. NYC is gross, cramped and smelly, I am from NY state, but fuck that city for anything other than work/visits.
>>
>>25907845
It's not shit conditions and it's not a 'little' bit of money later on, but I think you know that. I'm no psychologist, but you seem a little insecure.

And yeah, if I was worth 100mil, and had 50+ units, I'd be sitting on a beach in Malibu, and letting a management company do everything.
