I had a legitimate talk about doing this with my girlfriend. As much as I hate how sketchy it is, it still just seems sooo tempting.

But is it worse than tricking other people to work 40+ hours a week doing whatever you say and giving you most of the value they create? Because that’s the other option.

Plus if you buy a bunch of houses you can get them to give back most of the money you pay them.

Depends on whether you sell harder stuff too I guess.

It's like selling merch to the maga crowd. It's obviously really easy to scam money off those people, but it's so scummy I can't bring myself to do it.

Funny fungus is cheap, quick, easy and low stakes with decent margins if you're careful. Or so I've heard

Just accept the fact you’ll never own a house and will forever live in a shoebox.

A whole shoebox? Luxury. My 27 brothers and I lived in a bit of rolled up newspaper on the street.
