Second thoughts Sunfish (for a bit of fun) why don't you do it for me. :p I daresay the numbers in favour of a beating will far exceed those that spare me the rod!!! :o

If that would make you happier Sunfish, only if I did that, I'd be accused of being childish (after a troublesome poster did a similar such thing many postings ago). Not anyone here btw.

Hardly call myself "noble" Lizzie, in fact, I regret saying as much as I did about what I do. It is preciously for this reason, that I try not to talk about my work. Not at all Lizzie, of course there should be some reward, but given the way the evidence was presented, it seemed as cold and as...

No sorry, I can't comment have never bought at a mortgagee auction.

Is this on top of the previously quoted figures??? An average $130K house Taxes $1200 Insurance $900 Heat & lights $3500 Maintenance $1000 There appears to be a discrepancy somewhere?? Forget morality for a minute, consistency would help strengthen your argument/justification...

Don't talk to me about disgust....!!!!

"Good nursing homes" are few and far between. If you find one, let me know and I'll take back everything I wrote in this and the other thread.

Yes there is Lizzie, I see more homeless people, death and dying than I care to, many of whom are the victims of (what we have even in this country) reputable nursing homes.

I make no apologies for creating the thread, nor linking to the posts in another. If that is being "holier than thou" so be it. Perhaps (as James suggested) I should have PMed, but I was disappointed to read the comments made, and voiced it accordingly. It that warrants your judgement of me...

That it does Josko.:)

You're a good man James, and right of course. I never intended a public lynching but it seems I have instigated just that. Please ask the mods to remove it, if you feel that is what has transpired. Enough from me, I've said too much already (so it seems).

Then why do you care, what word he used in the first place? If you think he is wrong to say what he did, that's fine, but in judging him for the words he chose to use is no better than judging someone for their immoral intentions (which as far as we know is still only a plan).

Alex, I don't believe Sash meant it in a disrespectful way, but rather as an expression in attempting to make a comparison between those who "should" know better and those who "no longer can" because of age/illness. Perhaps not the best term, and (although I don't know Sash personally) I don't...

I don't believe Kathryn has had any takers yet, at least not from those who either still have their faculties, or (worse) families who aren't prepared to let someone steal what is rightfully theirs. This may not be illegal, but I'd be more concerned about battling with my own conscience than...

An average $130K house Taxes $1200 Insurance $900 Heat & lights $3500 Maintenance $1000 It will cost us $400 month for 15 months, and it is paid off. After that we make $400 month profit minimum. Total outlay = $12,600 House value = $130,000 Not even a lousy 10%....how do you...

Yes you're right, I had forgotten this and was referring to our health system here. Valid points and of course, if all parties consent, it may well be legal but it still doesn't address the moral issue. You can dance around it all you like, but this type of transaction is not common...

The expenses have been outlined clearly in the post, they (even in US dollars) would hardly scratch the surface of the house's true value!! Besides which, carers are generally paid allied health staff appointed by councils, hospitals, the health system. If an elderly person wants "extra...

Thanks aussie, and others who PM'd me to let me know I didn't misread the posts. What saddens me the most, is that although I always understood investors here to be staunch businessmen and women, I certainly didn't expect to read of such posts that indicated any could behave so unethically.:(

Sorry folks, But I just had to ask, if I am reading these posts correctly: http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?p=645491#post645491 Is this type of property venture ethical and/or indeed legal??? I can't see it as moral, and it really concerns that this type of mindset exists...
