  • they are thousands of independent investors, sometimes known as homevestors.com they seek around for homes in disrepair or hoarders or abandoned type. they will cold call and try to make friends to figure out the house situation and why its in a sorry state. they are very patient and understanding, and make clear how the house couldnt be sold through a market listing without major time and expense, and get into detail about all the effort that would be required. then they offer to pay cash off market as-is to take care of everything. typically they aim to calculate the cost required to get it sellable and then make $50-100k profit for the trouble. its a real business that serves a market need to get these homes utilized.

    but they hire cold callers to read scripts and bother millions of people to find someone with pain about a house.

    these people end up only making a handful of deals a year and sometime lose due to bad timing or unforeseen problems.










  • i got an email from Verizon, confirming my order shipped. If i want to track the order i had to create an account. then i create the account and click to track it and theres no tracking info, just trying to upsell me warranty and accessories. i go to chatbot support and it tells me to go to the same link without tracking. so i call verizon and fight through the terrible voicebots to get a person who gives me the tracking number… which actually doesnt exist for 3 more days, since it hasnt actually shipped yet. when it actually ships via UPS the website offers to hold my package for pick up if i click a link… but then i need to create a ups account first. then i do that and it says oh we cant hold this package because of the senders rules.
