    Not sure about that Columbo.

    How many places did you flip between 2005 to 2007 again?

    None you say. Gosh, thats quite an astonishing loss of theoretical earnings there. Practically the shirt off your back. :rotfl:

    Stopped flipping properties in 2007.

    It's all about timing.

    You should know that by now. :rotfl:
    If I don't reply to your post,

    No you didn't. You stopped in 2005.
    Thats a whole lot of loss (using the bull maths system).:rotfl:

    You will be aware I was flipping properties whilst on GHPC ~ and I didn't join there until mid 2006.

    For the avoidance of doubt, I sold my last flipped property in September 2007. Now that's timing. :D

    Why is Geneer so interested when he can't afford one of your properties anyway.... We'll never know, maybe it's jealousy??? hence his posting on a forum in relation to house prices when he's been priced out......:D

    Really. Cos I remember the GHPCers and Credit Crunchers (including myself) ripping the mick out of you for not buying in the final years of the bubble.

    And I remember you telling us, rather weakly, time and again how you had "retired".

    Of course new forum, name name, new reality eh Columbo

    More worrying than my stalking is the fact that you have been responding to your own posts, do you not realise that other than me, nobody is interested in your tedious jealous posts in the H/P forum. ;)

    Actually I have to say, your stalking is quite, quit worrying.

    And for some reason you do appear to be very, very, very interesting in my posts. As stated.

    Honestly, I appear to be catnip for a certain demographic. :kisses3:
