Something about posing for a picture like this makes it seem less genuine.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:01 am
oi vay…
April 20th, 2007 at 11:03 am
GSPG is only down 4.17% today, nothing to fret about!
April 20th, 2007 at 11:05 am
A lot of tragic events seem to happen throughout U.S. history around this time in April. Battle of Lexington, Oklahoma City, Waco, Columbine, Virginia Tech. Please don’t kill yourself, and don’t kill anyone else, either.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Casey, it’s really simple, right? What choices do you have?
You will now have CashCall breathing down your neck, so you’ll have to declare bankruptcy, right?
Then, you’ll need an income, so you’ll have to get a job, right?
It’s not that complicated, is it? You just don’t seem to want to face the reality, do you?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Your sanity gave first.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:08 am
how long did it take to get the photo just right?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:08 am
And the Bubble Has Burst…
April 20th, 2007 at 11:11 am
Take progress, success story, huge deals, passive income, book, and follow-through off of this list as they were never part of your “story.”
April 20th, 2007 at 11:12 am
job, maybe?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:14 am
You are an idiot and only have yourself to blame.
TURN YOURSELF IN LIKE HOMEY TOLD YOU TO.
YOU’LL GET A BED, 3 MEALS A DAY AND A ***JOB***!
more than your lame looser @ss has now.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:14 am
It’s funny…I was feeling the exact same way 2 days ago…when I finished talking to my husband he gave me a great advise. It is actually on your list …. FOCUS.
Don’t let all the “great” ideas stop you…. What is it that you want to accomplish? Make a decision…and works towards that. When you have a great new idea that might take you off track….just write it down and wait. If its good it will still be good 2, 3 months… once your first one is completed.
Good luck!
April 20th, 2007 at 11:16 am
you are bipolar. take what little money you have left and get on medication. like - now.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:16 am
by the way, who took that picture?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:17 am
Wow dude! The drama keeps coming! But have no fear…you just sit there on your as* and think about things some more and ultimately do nothing…I mean its gotten you this far right?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:18 am
Add no money coming in.
Here’s your comeback plan.
Get a job. Make money. File BK. Get everyone wiped away.
Keep your job.
In 2010 take some 30 year fixed loans over subject to. Until then make money from your job.
Get your blog/site going while you have your job.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:19 am
Call the “Waaah”mbulance!!
Declare bankruptcy.
Wipe the slate clean.
Get a fresh start.
Life goes on.
America is all about re-inventing yourself.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:21 am
Keep your chin up, little man!
Just think of Willie Nelson’s past problems with the IRS. Willie owed 22 million when he declared bankruptcy, and he’s doing just fine today….saw him just this week at the Fillmore, where he took 55 of my dollars and provided me with a rockin’ good time.
So, on this April 20th celebrate 420 style, relax with some tunes, and by all means..
Praise Willie!
Rock On, Senor Serin!
(and, you’re looking sorta psycho-killer in that picture. I am pretty sure you are affecting that pose for whoever is writing your posts these days (nice use of apostrophe and hyphens…very un-Casey), but jeepers kid - take it easy!
I’m still willing to contribute for the pool party, so all hope is not lost. I hope by the time you read this comment your manic moods have swung towards the high side again…)
April 20th, 2007 at 11:22 am
You are such a looser man. Go out and get a job. Dont just sit there and do nothing. I dont know what you think is going to happen man but sitting around and collecting donations is pretty pathetic. GET A JOB MAN. Everyone else is working and you are blogging.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:22 am
You forgot “dirty swimming pools.”
April 20th, 2007 at 11:22 am
What a difference from now from this photo ey?

Casey,
Waaaaaaah!
That’s life brother. Part of being successful is being able to manage that pressure.
One book you should probably read, if you haven’t (and if you have you should start following it’s advice) is the “Seven Habits of Highly Successful People” by Stephen Covey.
I don’t think his method is perfect, but it will help you understand how to manage things so that the pressure is not so overwhelming.
Your “weakness in the area of logistics” must be fixed, or you will never be successful. The devil is in the details.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:23 am
You really need a third party..Either parent or someone from your church to help you set up some goals and stick to them no matter what. I am sure you are getting offers and opportunities that are pushing you off course (actually I don’t think you have an idea what you want to do which is the problem–except to work when you want on your own terms) . If you do not have structure and goals you will never get where you want to.
Casey, you seem like a light switch everyday your thoughts change on the same subjects..
You need steady income right now no matter what. Do your crazy ideas or opportunites on the side and bring in some money. Either thru a job or your own business thru your computer skills.
Good luck
April 20th, 2007 at 11:24 am
“Something’s gotta give?” No, “Someone has to get a job,” or two or three. This is not hate mail, this is reality. This is the type of common sense that someone close to you, perhaps a relative or friend, should have given you long ago. There are people all over this state(and country) that are under tremendous financial strain just to feed their families and put a single roof over their heads. You, on the other hand, used other peoples money that was obtained under false pretenses to acquire eight roofs, which you have slowly let go to hell.
Additionally, that photographic attempt to look angst ridden just ends up looking ridiculous. You have treated this whole experience like some reality TV show that is going to award you some prize at the end, or help kickoff your career as a real estate mogul. As a third generation real estate professional and educator, I can assure you that the only future you have in real estate will be as a cautionary tale.
Finally, you should feel a deep and profound sense of shame and regret, for you truly have taken all manner of things from others, while contributing absolutely nothing of value to this world. I hope that at some future point you will understand that your actions truly had consequences, not just for you, but for many around you.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Good thing you still have the energy to take carefully composed self portraits.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:30 am
Already gone :
Details. Follow-through. Book. Success story. Passive income. Values. Faith. Purpose. Progress.
that’s about half the list - you will always have the Haters and Negativity.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:30 am
Debt. Finances. Blog. Foreclosure Site. Negativity. Haters. Details. Follow-through. Partnerships. Opportunities. Job. Book. Success story. Big deals. Crazy ideas. Passive income. Huge deals. Goals. Focus. Priorities. Marriage. Values. Faith. Purpose. Progress. Time. Finances. Finances. Finances…
Here’s what’s important
Debt. Finances Marriage Job
Everything else are distractions, cept for the haters/realists who tried to tell you this a long time ago.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:31 am
Give you 5.00 for your computer. That solves about 90% of your problems, and lets you buy some black market prozac to solve the other 10%.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Casey, every time I load your blog I think of the scene in ‘Boiler Room’ where Greg is explaining that most of the guys in the firm are Nig*** Rich. They have a Ferrari but not even 10$ to put in the tank. The pic of you all dressed up but with no money to go anywhere makes me think of it all the more…
April 20th, 2007 at 11:35 am
J.O.B.
(The kind with a W-2, where you have to be at a predictable place at a predictable time, and are paid a predictable amount of money.)
(I.E. shilling for NRU, et. al. doesn’t count.)
April 20th, 2007 at 11:35 am
We already gave…but Cashcall still is not taken care of…
April 20th, 2007 at 11:36 am
When will you admit that most of the advice that has been given to you over the last 6+ months has been good?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:36 am
C- Don’t be feel so down. The market is coming back strong!!!
April 20th, 2007 at 11:37 am
so, stop the blog dude, and just go take care of business.
Come back and blog when you have that success story.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:37 am
I feel bad for you, I really do, about as bad as I feel for GW Bush when he said, “Being president is hard.” You look like you are about to cry in the picture.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:37 am
I think you have ADD. Maybe an RX for Adderall will help. Too bad that someone hasn’t come up with a “Facing Reality” pill.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Let’s see if I can help you sort these:
> Debt. Finances. Details. Time.
> Finances. Finances. Finances…
These are real.
> Foreclosure Site. Book. Passive income. Huge deals.
> Success story. Big deals. Opportunities.
These are fantasies.
> Goals. Focus. Priorities. Job. progress. Follow-through.
These you need.
> Blog. Partnerships. Crazy ideas.
These you don’t.
> Negativity. Haters.
These you can ignore (*see note)
> Marriage.
This you should not ignore.
> Values. Faith. Purpose.
These have been missing. If you followed these, you would not be in the situation you are in now.
*Note: Be careful about categorizing people into “Haterz”. There are some who are just going to make fun of you, others are honestly trying to help.
Remember “Tim from Monterey”? He often gave you very good advice. You ignored it, things got worse. He finally stopped even trying. Is he a hater?
Most of the “hater” posts here are either people poking you to pay attention to details / issues that you’d rather ignore or they’re people who have simply given up on you after repeatedly trying to help.
My advice: Modesto - it’s gone either through short sale or repo. Either way, any effort spent on it is wasted time, you get nothing out of it.
BK - consult a BK attorney and go over the details. You really can’t avoid it at this point, better to deal with it now. The last repo will happen before you can file, so it is a much easier situation now.
Give up on the whole “I’m an entrapeuer” thing. This REALLY isn’t your thing. If you haven’t seen that by now, I’m not sure WHAT has to happen for you to see it, but trust me… you are not cut out it. Being an “Idea Man” is only a small part of what is required. Attention to the details and a willingness to work - far harder than any w-2 job would make you work - is what turns ideas into realit.
Primary advice - GET A JOB.
There may be legal issues, a job will help show you’re trying. The job will give you a steady income - I’m sure the lack of which is causing most of the marital strife.
Given the same advice before (as have many others), it’s been ingored before… I guess giving advice you don’t want to hear makes me a hater…
April 20th, 2007 at 11:40 am
At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, don’t let it get you down. Your site has tremendous value to those who are in the same or substantially similar situation but cannot or will not openly discuss it. Perhaps it’s out of fear, embarassment, or a combination of both. Those folks tend to sit in silent agony, and the only resource they have is to read your blog.
Keep your chin up. Tomorrow really is another day.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:41 am
Declare BK, get a job.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:45 am

April 20th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Casey,
I have been reading your blog for sometime now. I have been reluctant to comment because of the overwelming
negativity and very harsh comments!
But I am where you are in some regards,
and you CAN NOT GIVE UP! you have come so far….
the worst is over seeing as 4 properties have foreclosed and you sold some. My suggestion if you really want some “relief ” is to file the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, yes it will be on your credit for 7 to 10 years but Casey so will those
foreclosures.
Law of Atrraction is active because you are focusing on your debt,therefore more debt will come.
Your Bright,Ambitious, and your young, you will survive!!
Give in, Give out, but don’t ever Give up!!! I enjoy your blog…..keep your head up! It get’s greater….Later
April 20th, 2007 at 11:47 am
This is it! This is the point where snowflake overdoses on organic, all natural, no chemicals added sleeping pills.

Scratch that, suck your widdle wip back in and focus on cleaning that nasty pool.
ASW is misspelled. It says failforward.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:49 am
Aw, you left out “but it’s all good!”
April 20th, 2007 at 11:51 am
Solution:
File Bankrupcy
Get a J.O.B.
But I hope you don’t do either, this is more fun.
How’s that pool coming along?
April 20th, 2007 at 11:51 am
Casey, stick up for your rights for once.
I think they would rather have a father or brother or whatever the situation may be who will take a stand in the face of any kind of reaction from narrow-minded people rather than to compromise and later on have to grow up in shame and in disgrace.
So I just ask you to excuse my appearance. I don’t normally come out in front of people without a shirt and a tie.
To these statements of support for the right to commit suicide, I will add my own: In a truly free society, you own your life, and your only obligation is to respect the rights of others.
I believe everyone is entitled to be treated as the sole owner of himself or herself and of his or her own life. Accordingly, I think a person who commits suicide is well within his or her rights in doing so provided he or she does so privately and without jeopardizing the physical safety of others. Family members, police officers, judges, and “therapists” who interfere with a person’s decision to end his or her own life are violating that person’s human rights.
The often expressed view that the possibility of suicide justifies psychiatric treatment even if it must be imposed against the will of the potentially suicidal person is wrong. Provided the person in question is not violating the rights of others, that person’s autonomy is of more value than enforcement of what other people consider rational or of what other people think is in a person’s best interests. In a free society where self-ownership is recognized, “dangerousness to oneself” is irrelevant.
The greatest human right is the right of self-ownership, one aspect of which is the right to life, but another aspect of which is the right to end one’s own life. Whether or not a person supports the right to commit suicide is a litmus test of whether or not that person truly believes in self-ownership and the individual freedom that comes with it, the individual freedom that many of us have been taught is the reason-for-being of American democracy.
Amen!
(ASW: “letsdoit”!)
April 20th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Given the fact that you dug yourself into this hole, it is really hard for me to have much sympathy for you, Casey. However, just to prove that a ‘hater’ is not always a meanie, here’s some plain advice (and not one word about BK or jobs):
Big problems are overwhelming. Small problems aren’t. The trick is to take the big problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable ones.
Maybe there are 1000 steps you need to take to solve your problems. You can’t do all 1000 in a day, and it’s easy to just throw up your hands and say ‘why bother’? You’ve tried that already, though, and it is NOT working for you. The pile of problems, like a pile of unopened mail, just keeps getting bigger. They are a pressure on your mind that can only be resolved by one thing: action.
Start somewhere. Anywhere. It doesn’t even matter where, as long as you start. Let go of everything you have tried before. Again, it is not working for you.
There’s a website called Flylady that’s all about getting organized and taming the chaos in your life. Here is a link to her “getting started” page.
Maybe it will help you.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:54 am
why don’t you go drink some of your green poolwater to give you special powers you chee. Okey, now listen you border line crazy, you look like that south korean piece of dog chee B4 he go cu-cu. Honestly serindipity i’m worried, that the donut store down the street from me might be out of glazed crulers. Seriously now stop being so negitive; I mean WHY DO YOU HATE? if I say something nice will you be happy; OR ARE YOU STILL GOING TO HATE?
P.S. Send that twist of the month club a violin P-U!
April 20th, 2007 at 11:55 am
Mr. Serin!!!
Treat yourself to a triple-shot of wheatgrass.
Can you handle a QUADRUPLE-SHOT? Sweet media of you hitting that shot would be appreciated.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:55 am
Thats it Casey!
Bottom out buddy! So we can get you back in the game. Notice that doing it your way got you into this mess, and you need help to get out. Lose the pride, and admit that you dont have all the answers. Stop digging casey! No more debt, no more get rich quick schemes, no more shady corporations, no more guru advice. leave the pool alone, leave the short sale alone, let them foreclose, then declare bankruptcy, and move on. You stretched this thing out as long as you could and it is just getting you more and more depressed. This is a haterz intervention!!!!!
April 20th, 2007 at 11:56 am
But I believe that to be forgiven, more than sorrow is required - at least two more things.
First, genuine repentance - a determination to change and to repair breaches of my own making. I have repented. Second, what my bible calls a ‘’broken spirit'’; an understanding that I must have God’s help to be the person that I want to be; a willingness to give the very forgiveness I seek; a renunciation of the pride and the anger which cloud judgment, lead people to excuse and compare and to blame and complain.
Now, what does all this mean for me and for us? First, I will instruct my lawyers to mount a vigorous defense, using all available appropriate arguments. But legal language must not obscure the fact that I have done wrong. Second, I will continue on the path of repentance, seeking pastoral support and that of other caring people so that they can hold me accountable for my own commitment.
The children of this country can learn in a profound way that integrity is important and selfishness is wrong, but God can change us and make us strong at the broken places.
Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, political prisoners, POWs, and resistance fighters from across Europe were exterminated with cold industrial perfection or were enslaved and worked to death. Never before had there been a worse breakdown of thousands of years of European culture and civilization. After the war it took some time before the full extent of this breakdown was realized. We are aware of it, but I doubt that we will ever be able to understand it.
The past cannot be “overcome”!

Hang in there Casey, it WILL get better. The learning curve is never easy.
April 20th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it.
I wish I’ve never met you, girl;
You’ll never come again.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.
Feelings, feelings
Like I’ve never lost you
And feelings like I’ve never
Have you again in my heart.
Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it.
I wish I’ve never met you, girl;
You’ll never come again.
Feelings, feelings like I’ve
Never lost you
And feelings like I’ve never have you
Again in my life.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings…
April 20th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Casey, while I’m firmly in the haterz club now, I suppose I’m one of the less militant of the bunch. I’d be fine with you getting out of this mess, and here’s how you do it.
Step 1) Work on the most pressing problem diligently until there’s nothing else that you can do to make further progress.
Step 2) Repeat Step 1.
That’s it. Do that every day. You’ll make progress on several problems each day and within a few weeks you’ll have made real progress.
Or maybe you could call someone to see what you’re options are (see, I told you I was a hater).
April 20th, 2007 at 11:59 am
This is probably the first time I’ve actually felt bad for you.
You need two things:
+ SIMPLIFY your life. Trim, trim, trim. Get rid of the last property. Get rid of the blog.
+ PURPOSE. Specifically, get a job. Give yourself a meaningful reason to get up in the morning.
As painful as the photo is, I hope you stay in this state of mind long enough to make some serious, lasting, positive decisions. Because if the next post is another bouncy-bouncy It’s All Good post, I’m going to barf.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
I am sure by the time you get around to moderating the comments to this post, there is going to be a lot of repetition. You are making this harder on yourself than it needs to be. Either let the comments go unmoderated or stick around, moderate and then let the comments through in a timely manner.

April 20th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Casey,
I’ve been reading this site for a while, with increasing amounts of disbelief and exasperation regarding your lack of action in confronting this mess.
I’ve held off commenting because nothing written seemed to touch you. Advice has been offered, none appears to have been taken.
If this latest posting is genuine, and you’re not just messing us around, then you appear to be (finally) reaching the point where wilful denial is no longer enough to keep reality at bay.
Please, for the love of God, do what needs to be done. Get professional assistance and draw up a plan of action. This situation will not go away by itself.
Good luck.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
“…The pressure of it all is getting to be too much….”
Now, don’t go “victim” on us.
This is all of your own making
You made your bed….
April 20th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Casey,
……….Ok I won’t say what I started to because we all have bad days and I don’t like to kick someone when their down. I would say that I hope this is the beginning of comprehension of the reality of your situation but you have been in this place before and somehow bounce right back into your fantasy world so I won’t get my hopes up.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:17 pm
Then call it a day.
Declare bankruptcy, and move on. Chalk it down as a learning experience and learn from it. Go and do something else.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Casey,
Why the glum face?
Come visit me. There’s nothing that a nice long vacation at Disneyland can’t fix.
I can get you a good rate at the Grand Californian Hotel, too. Only $350 a night based on 7 nights (restrictions apply). I can get you $5 off park hopper tickets, also.
Just mention my name and you’ll be set.
See you soon,
Mickey.

Why are you wearing a sweater in April?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
I’m sorry, I’m ignorant. When they forclose on your house, what do you actually owe? For example, house #4. You owed $507k on it. How much do you actually owe on it now that the bank owns it?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Dude! How old is that laptop? Floopy? Did they go out of style 10 years ago?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Unfortunately this is part of the process. You kept it together longer than most. Now scrap the pool idea and the short sale idea, let them foreclose on the house, file for bankruptcy and move on. It’s only gonna get worse if you dont!
April 20th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
Focus on doing a few things well instead of a little of everything.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Maybe you need to take a vacation with all of this stress and work?? Turn off the phone and computer for a week and head to Mexico. Just enjoy yourself.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
You know what depresses me? That floppy drive on your POS notebook.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
I’d suggest a nap. A little downtime might do you good.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:36 pm

Passive income.
Try “active” income instead.
Huge deals.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Goals.
Get hired.
Focus.
Do it or get fired.
Priorities.
Did I say job?
Marriage.
For better or worse.
Values.
Get new ones.
Faith.
Get a new one.
Purpose.
Get paid (at a job)
Progress.
Get beyond “thinking about it”
Time.
24 hours a day, same as everyone else.
Finances. Finances. Finances…
Job. Job. Job….
In all seriousness Casey, do you realize you went from last night wasting time looking up your scummy cesspool on Google maps — to a post this morning that makes it seem as if you’re about to off yourself?
If you’re not trolling, then you need serious help. Get it.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
you forgot taxes
April 20th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Like I’ve always said gameover Casey. It’s been inevitable since the day you started stripping fake equity out of houses you had no right buying.
You are a liar, a cheat and a conman. And you do none of it well.
You are too stupid to realize it but the only option you have is to hit the road. Take G, whatever money you can scrounge together and haul @ss in the Vdub to someplace far, far away.
(PS. You know I post my comments elsewhere so why not let them through?)
(PPS. How are you doing on earning that $8000 I was going to match?)
April 20th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
now you are letting posts through then deleting them?
WTF?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Ok, even though I’m just here for the train wreck (and it’s a spectacular one) here’s some good, solid advice for you:
Work ONLY on those things which affect you and your family first; THEN work on the other things. Meaning, remove from your list “Blog. Foreclosure Site. Partnerships. Opportunities. Book. Success story. Big deals. Crazy ideas. Passive income. Huge deals.” Shut down this blog (or at the very least stop worrying about daily updates; once a week should be plenty). Don’t concern youself with “helping others”; help YOURSELF first.
Shutting down the blog would remove (or at least greatly reduce) “Negativity” and “Haters” (of which, I think you might consider me one).
Leaving you free to work on “Details. Follow-through. Job. Goals. Focus. Priorities. Marriage. Values. Faith. Purpose. Progress. Time. Finances. Finances. Finances…”
Prioritize these remaining items and work on the most important first. My guess is there’s a tie for first place between Finances, Marriage, and Job.
Hopefully, this despair you’re apparently feeling is reality setting in and you’re *able* to take good advice when it’s offered. Frankly, I think my advice here is good advice.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
A steady income would help you with:
Finances. (you get money you don’t have to pay back)
Blog. (like that’s killing you)
Foreclosure Site. (just forget it)
Negativity. (Snowflake got a job)
Haters. (a job would shut most of them up)
Details. (show up, get paid. It rocks!)
Follow-through. (get this done by Friday)
Partnerships. (you’ll have none)
Opportunities. (you have none, accept it)
Job. (job!)
Book. (forget it, no one wants to read about a loooser)
Success story. (you have none)
Big deals. (you have none)
Crazy ideas. (there’s something you have too many of)
Passive income. (how about real income?)
Huge deals. (have have less than none)
Goals. (you have no realistic ones)
Focus. (just get work done)
Priorities. (not getting fired with be #1)
Marriage. (wives prefer husbands with jobs)
Values. (you have none)
Faith. (you mean why has God forsaken you?)
Purpose. (just get work done)
Progress. (getting paid is progress)
Time. (put it off until tomorrow like you always do)
April 20th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
If you are honest with yourself, you will admit that ALL of this
is self-created. You did it all to yourself.
Get some perspective. Think of the innocent people whose lives have been afflicted through no fault of their own–the innocent victimes of crime, disease, accident, ad infinitum.
They manage to struggle on.
Plus, if you give up, it will be no fun for us. It is much more entertaining if you continue to hilariously fail at your various cons, scams, and schemes.
So, chin up, and onward!
P.S. I am still on for $10 to drain that pool.
And, when you get that 100-unit apartment building–the one for no money down, with 100% seller financing, and positive cash flow–yes, that one–it will probably have two or three pools and a spa. Can you imagine what they will look like six months after you buy the property?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
Let’s see if this login thingy is as SWEET as it sounds.
Casey is a dumb@ss.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
SWEET!
April 20th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
So Casey, why not have a podcast tonite?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Hey Casey, you look like a dead wringer for Jonathan Brandis in that artful photo, save for a missing chin cleft.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Good thing you took that pic before CashCall pays their visit…
My advice to you? Start drinking heavily.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Why are you wearing a sweater in April?
Because it’s 65F and raining in Sacramento at the moment.
Something’s got to give? Give up the sweet deal fantasies. There will be no buying apartment buildings this year. Right now you need stable income to keep the roof over your head and the wolves from the door.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Do you own a gun, Casey? Just wondering.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Did you spend your week away in UT with Nigel?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Oh, by the way Casey, let’s not forget whose fault this is:
1. Debt: Your fault. Lots of really, really stupid mistakes.
2. Finances: Your fault. Stupid mistakes plus laziness.
3. Blog: Your fault. You started it. You can stop it. Any time.
4. Foreclosure site: How is this different from the blog? It’s your fault anyway.
5. Negativity: Your fault. You put yourself into a VERY negative situation by listening to a bunch of shucksters, getting greedy, lying, failing to follow through, failure to think, failure to do any real work, failure to step up to bat when things got tough, how many more failures were there/will there be?
6. Haters: You brought them on yourself. You started the site, you shared your life, you failed to listen to good advice, you begged these very people for money (making them hate you even more), you taunt them with antagonistic posts, you refuse to answer even the simplest of questions with a real, straight answer and then you complain about them while doing nothing to shut them up.
7. Details: Your fault. You should never start ANYTHING if you’re not willing to pay attention to the details. Hence the phrases: “The devil’s in the details.” and “It’s the little things that kill.”
8. Follow-through: Your fault. You haven’t followed through on ANYTHING. This has been a big part of your current situation. You can change this by simply DOING something productive every single hour of every single day.
9. Partnerships: Not sure what you mean here. Every “partnership” you’ve tried to milk has turned sour. That’s your fault. You’ve dealt dishonestly with people while refusing to listen to their advice. You get what you give.
10. Opportunities: Your fault. You’ve been given opportunities that you’ve squandered through greed and laziness.
11. Job: Your fault. You quit your half way decent job to fail and you’ve now been refusing, left-right-and-center, to get a real job for months.
12. Book: Your fault. Stupid idea. You should never have thought of it.
13. Success story: You don’t have one.
14. Big deals: This is what got you into trouble to begin with. Therefore, again, your fault.
15. Crazy Ideas: Your fault. You have the power to banish them before you blog about it or even say it out loud.
16. Passive Income: Again, your fault. You listened to all those gurus who seemed to have convinced you that passive income is easy to come by and requires little to no work and little to no up front effort.
— Okay I’m getting tired, will skip to the good ones.
Marriage: Did you put as much thought into that as you put into your “business” of flipping houses? Is that tumbling down like your investment strategies? Your fault.
Values: Your only values seem to be greed, laziness, lying, stealing, cheating, etc.
Faith: Stop playing the religion card. I mean, come on, do you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY believe that any god would condone what you’re doing? (Well, the Bible does refer to the devil as a “god”, so I guess he’s probably thrilled with what you’ve become…)
Is the world in your head finally crashing down?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Have you seen a mental health professional yet? Lot’s of us Haterz™ truly believe you have some sort of mental health disorder. Getting on some pills could do you good…
April 20th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Casey, instead of making silly emo art of yourself, why not 1) shovel the sludge out of the pool or 2) tell us WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED with the begathon proceeds, rent money, cd earnings, whatever else? Why dodge these questions when you’re going to be begging for cash again in a few short days?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
I’m really feeling down today… too much stress and pressure. Plus I have about 753 email in my inbox (most of them unread) that have been piling on for months. I’m sorry if you’re email is one of them. With the media exposure and the traffic I get way too much email.
Also all the different opportunities that are presenting themselves are really exciting but there are too many of them coming at me all at once and some are conflicting.
At the end of the day, all this stuff is causing some serious “paralysis analysis” and lack of focused movement due to being overwhelmed.
At the end of the day, I don’t have any money to show for all this activity (or lack there of).
I must get focused. I can’t afford to be scattered anymore.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:53 pm
So, what’s the game plan now?
April 20th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Notice how he always acts as if he just woke up, and somehow all these bad things have happened to him, by some sort of accident!!
Someone should so a search to make a list of all his evasions, deceptions, and misleading statements over the months, all designed to deflect responsibility. The one that come to mind now is excusing his foreclosures by saying
“hey, it was a business, and sometimes businesses fail, right??.”
How about another weekend Beg-A-Thon?/
April 20th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
My patience with the comments, negativity and the hate is also running very very low. It would be one thing if people were respectful in how they say it. It’s OK to criticize as long as its done constructively for the persons good. I can learn from that. That’s all I ask. Be respectful. Show some courtesy.
I’m going to experiment with instant comments for registered users on this post. And if it doesn’t work out too well or I have to do too much work to ban people and baby sit people I don’t know if this will continue.
I have enough stress already.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Cheer up Casey, you finally did something right with this instant commenting thing!
Its all Good!
April 20th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
Keep your head up. No one likes weakness.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
I think it may be time to face facts. The only way out of this is to suck the buck shot c*** and swallow the load.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
How about this Casey? You stop trolling your own blog, get a job, and start actually DOING something instead of considering every angle of every little thing before the next shiny thing distracts you and you forget about it and we will stop hating on you. Heck, we might even start respecting and supporting you if you just TRIED.
Now THAT is what I call a win/win situation!
April 20th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
Casey, you’ve gotten so much great advice from thousands of people that genuinely cared and were concerned.
Why have you not followed it?
They are your “haters” now because you don’t listen to sound advice.
Sound advice = get a full time, salaried job and go from there.
Accountability starts with you and you can make it start today.
I know you want to still believe the RKs of the world, but you know what? Their philosophy = fallacy.

Did you cut the top of your head out in the photot so we can’t see your roots growing in under you highlights? Or to conceal that you just had your highlights touched up?
Seriously, go to an AA meeting, get a new perspective.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Casey:
This week of all weeks, I hope that you have the decency not to manipulate us with photos in order to skate along a little while longer. I hope you’re not using “mental illness” as an excuse to bs, troll, or to extract money from us. Not this week when someone else who craved attention manipulated us with a photo and 32 people have lost their lives. Don’t. It’s shameful.
Those people’s lives were taken. You have yours. You also have the ability to change things.
Please–If you are truly down, if you really feel that you are at your wit’s end, then go see a mental health professional. NOW. I’m not kidding.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:19 pm
1. Congratulations on getting instant comments up. It will allow people to hold conversations and reduce the amount of effort you need to spend on the blog. And 100+ comments in the 1st 2 hours of a posting is pretty impressive.
2. Delete all the emails. There are no serious opportunities in them.
3. Prepare the bankruptcy paperwork so that as soon as the last house goes, you can declare bankruptcy.
4. Get a job. You will find that doing something productive will get your mind off your problems and allow your subconscious to solve your analysis paralysis.
5. Keep the job until you have caught up on your debts to friends and family. Until they are paid back, you have no business taking risks.
P.S. You have been in analysis paralysis since September. It is why you have not been able to complete simple tasks.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Casey you disrespect us ALL DAY LONG. We all gave you nothing but quality advice from the beginning, not our fault you are so brainwashed that you ignored it.
Do you see yourself as brainwashed? Could you go 6 months with out listening to your guru’s?
April 20th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Casey, doesn’t it tell you something that 90% of the posts here are saying the exact same thing? (Variations on a theme of “declare bankruptcy, get a job, make an honest attempt to climb out of this hole”).
And doesn’t it tell you even more that 90% of all the comments you’ve had since September have ALSO been saying something along these lines?
Is this a gigantic conspiracy, with literally thousands of people clubbing together behind your back to deceive and delude you into doing the wrong thing?
Or is it because great minds are spontaneously thinking alike - and this is not just the best but the ONLY good advice?
I’m really hoping this post means that reality is starting to sink in. I used to think that only a major, major shock (a visit from CashCall’s repo men, say) might do the trick - but if you can do it yourself, more power to you.
But you have to be brutally honest. Give up the wheeler-dealer entrepreneur fantasy - you’re just not cut out for it and everyone you try to do business with will bleed you dry as a result. Realize that you can’t climb out of your financial pit without declaring bankruptcy - I doubt you could have done back in September, and you certainly can’t now. And above all realize that YOU NEED A STEADY INCOME. Which means that you need a proper, contracted, salary-paying job.
Note the word “need”. You misuse it a lot (”I need a wheatgrass shot or some new IKEA furniture”) - but this time it really does mean something.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Close. The Blog.
Or throw up some Google Ads. With all the traffice this site gets, you could easily pull in $2k/Month….probably A LOT more.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Just Bite the bulllet, file BK and see what happens. I seriously doubt the law will catch up to you if it hasnt already. Start Fresh, get a JOB!!!
April 20th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Oh and Casey, did I happen to mention I never finished college? I just found my niche at a young age and have done well for myself.
As frustrating as life sometimes was (eating Ramen was something I did when one business idea flamed out) I always came back because I did NOT allow myself to get into heavy debt.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
So is this your way to document your “breakdown” to avoid responsibility and criminal prosecution? I thought you were smarter than this, Mr. Ideas Man.
“Really Judge, I didn’t know what I was doing charging up cards and buying houses I couldn’t afford or willing to pay for…I don’t know what happened to me! And you can see that because I took a picture of my distress, I was feeling really bad then..look here!”…then Casey shows the picture to the judge..”See! Even the haterz™ will testify to that!”
Us Haterz™, have told you that you were going about it wrong. Not once…not even a hint.. have YOU ever said “MAN, I’M REALLY F@CKING UP!”
But the nervous breakdown with pictures and all! Nice trolling, Mr. Ideas Man. The Beg-A-Thon is set up.
P.S. Please post this because a good slap of reality is what you need and want.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
It’s tough to choose between two conflicting choices Casey. On second thought, it’s usually not. One usually flows naturally with your own beliefs about yourself, your work, your life. The other choice usually conflicts with those beliefs. Pick the one that flows with you.
Regarding everything bringing you down, write down the five worse things that could happen to you. Unless you start making changes in your life, you will be reaching very close to bottom.

it feels much better to say I took a job as a brain doctor, than i got a job as ….
when you get a job, you will realize how easy and little work most jobs really are, you just have to show and do the bullshit. so what.
here is a paraphase from a real Real Estate site, “” apply the “”"”"SW-SW-SW-N”"”" principle:

Some Won’t

a JOB is easier than working for yourself, just most people don’t see it that way.

For example, I would like to get a definitive answer on your involvement with RESCOM. What your involvement was, what you did for them, how long you worked there, are you in touch with any of those people still, what you knew about their operation, etc.

Now go ahead and ban my IP Address and see what happens when you ban the rest of the haters.
This post just smells like Nigel trying to bait people. I guess it’s a good thing that you have an award winning blogger to help you take this blog to his level.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
It’s OK to criticize as long as its done constructively for the persons good. I can learn from that.
The frustration that drives the hate, Casey, is that you *haven’t* learned from any of the constructive criticism offered on your blog.
You know you’re impulsive, you know you lack attention to detail, you know you’re a procrastinator — three big strikes against you in any business endeavor. But still you think there are “exciting opportunities” on the horizon? Still you think you can stage a comeback if you just come up with the right idea?
Svetogorsk summed it up neatly: Give up the wheeler-dealer entrepreneur fantasy - you’re just not cut out for it and everyone you try to do business with will bleed you dry as a result.
They did bleed you dry, didn’t they?
You’re left with a bunch of foreclosures and a mountain of personal debt. Money was made, sure, but not by you: by the people who saw you coming. By the seminar artists. By the agents who sold you property and the brokers who sold you loans. By NRU, and by Chris and his juicy 50% referral. By Corporate Brokers. By Nigel, who milked you and your story for all the traffic he could get before dropping you in favor of mocking you.
The people dangling “opportunities” are not your friends. They’re not trying to rescue you. They’re sharks who smell blood in the water.
April 20th, 2007 at 1:57 pm
One thing that I’m sure won’t give is your resolve. Your resolve to remain an unemployed whiner, that is.

Casey,
Something’s gotta give?
It’s you. You’ve tried things your way for over a year now. How did that work out? Not so good did it?
You need to make a drastic change in your activities. Get a job and pursue your dreams on the side. Don’t think about it. Just do it.

In my late twenties I had an epiphany: instead of following my dreams, I should follow my talent.
By which I mean: stop pretending that I’m going to achieve things I’m simply not capable of achieving and start concentrating on things I can actually do.
This transformed my life beyond all recognition - and overwhelmingly for the better. I’m now earning literally four times what I did before I made that decision, and I’m infinitely happier.
Think about it, Casey. Seriously.

Back in the early 80’s as a high school student in Junior Achievement, a wise business sponser Richard Rogers told me “Watch out for the person who has the most ideas and becomes the most energetic about them. They’re the first to drop out of the plan.”
Since then I noticed that he is right 90% of the time. Casey does fall into this category. And he surely has too many problems to allow any team to move forward.
April 20th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Hey Casey - why dont you use leverage and get advice from a lawyer as to your best course of action.
There is no magic here Casey.
Surely you should just declare bankruptcy or just not pay any debts.
Casey - do you know if you have any judgements against you ? Have you done a public records search ?
Loads o Money

Where did you go for a week?
What did you spend your consulting money on?
Why are you three months behind in rent?
Where did the $4500 come from to repay the “corporate credit seed money”? How much has your corporation borrowed and how does it intend to generate income to repay its debt? How much have Corporation Brokers made from you so far?
Why have you stopped making any mention of owner-occupancy or cash back at closing in your media interviews?
What was the “bogus company, controlled by a third party” that Scotsman Guide reported in January?
Are you still saying this was “no worse than speeding on the freeway”?
April 20th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
I am not Nigel’s biggest fan, but he makes a lot of sense here. Casey, if NIGEL thinks you need to change your ways then what else do you need?
Does this mean NIGEL is a hater now? Huh? Didn’t think so.
Stop with the hating on so-called haterz, stop procrastinating on your taxes (didn’t you say a refund was coming? Don’t you need MONEY?), stop talking about supposed sweet deals on the horizon and PLEASE stop telling us falsehoods (my rent is paid…my rent is now 3 months behind! What did you do with the money?). Shoot, you can’t even follow through with Cashcall when the phone rep YOU recorded told you to sign the document they were sending in email. YOU wasted other people’s money again.
Hate me for being a realist, fine, but I don’t hate you. You need to grow up and focus or stop pretending to be a businessman.

Honestly, cleaning the pool 5 days before the foreclosure sale is a pretty pointless thing for you to do (the bank will handle up once the house is theirs), but at least you would be doing something. Just sitting around doing nothing but dwelling on your financially ruined future all day is what’s making you depressed. And it would also be an opportunity to show that you can man up and take care of something, aren’t as lazy as everyone thinks you are, and you would probably feel good about yourself after. If you want people to be less negative, stop trolling us and cultivate a positive image. Stay busy and you won’t be so depressed. Might even get something done.
And pay Y her damn rent. Sell the Vdubs if you have to.

You started the site, you shared your life, you failed to listen to good advice, you begged these very people for money (making them hate you even more), you taunt them with antagonistic posts, you refuse to answer even the simplest of questions with a real, straight answer and then you complain about them while doing nothing to shut them up.”
DM, my point exactly. So many of us TRY to give this kid good advice only to be ignored, trolled and called out as hatemongers. THEN when we all post elsewhere he creates troll bait to bring us back.
What Casey doesn’t realize is all the bad posters who’ve popped up on the net are inspired by the character he SELLS on his site. Is this really Casey? Apparently it is. Like the goofy nerd in Jr High School, if he brings too much attention to himself and won’t listen to advice bullies will pop up and attack. Casey is like that kid. He doesn’t learn and he attributes all his problems to a faceless bunch of people he calls HATERS.
Haters are not what a lot of them are. It’s a shame he doesn’t see this.

About the pool situation…at least throw bleach or shock into the pool to kill the larvae and get rid of the green! Make it at least you don’t have a marsh in your back yard! Maybe Steve “The Croc Hunter” would be proud (God, Bless His Soul) but anyone who visits the house can only see that green marsh as a cesspool.
Shock will clear that sh#t up at least temporary until the house is lost. With that much chlorine the leaves may even desolve or decide to jump out and run away!!
Damage control, Casy, damage control biotch!

You can probably get HeeKee to help you clean the pool. He’s already working for you for free anyway.

Casey, you need to seek professional psychiatric help. This is a cry for assistance. What would you advice a friend to do if he came to you with this list– you’d be concerned about him & probably want him to see a psychiatrist. You owe the same to yourself.
I can’t imagine going through the stress you are going through. It’s time for you to declare bankruptcy & focus on the things in your life you can better control. Good luck.

Casey,
Sweet photo.
You are a lot better at photography than you are at RE investments! Maybe you should consider a new career.
Photography would not be as bad as a W2 job. You make your own hours and its 1099 income not W2 income.

The only thing I needed to learn from this site is:
Maxing out credit cards, and taking out as many loans on houses as you need will not land you in jail..at least quickly!
But I know I have a 9-10 month escape plan to get out of the mess!

Hey people,
Realize you can tell this guy what to do and how to do it. He’s not dumb, he’ll understand what you are saying and agree that it’s a good idea!
The problem is..HE IS LAZY! He doesn’t want to work..and will cry if he has too. Just look at this picture of his pouting! Computers are his friend and rather play blogger or Ninendo to get out of work!
“Where’s Casey?”, we ask. “I think he left and decided to take a sh@t and pound the keys on a blog to get out of work.”
This sums the motherskuck up…you can’t depend on the guy to get things done! Unless it’s easy cash for CASEY!

Oh my God, not another shooting rampage in the works.

There is only one word to describe you at this point: Sloppy
That is exactly what got you into this entire mess.
Tax accounting? Sloppy.
Tracking expenses? Sloppy
Repairs on the homes? Sloppy.
Your business planning? Sloppy.
Your debt management plan? Sloppy.
Your idealisms? Sloppy.
Your half-baked “sweet deals”? Sloppy.
Your payment strategy? Sloppy.
Your exit plan from this business venture? Sloppy.
Your handling of the mountains of advice given to you? Sloppy.
Your keeping your mouth shut about certain details of your escapades that could get you in serious trouble? Sloppy.
Your overall attitude? Sloppy.

where’s time line guy?
what’s his take?

Casey,
You MUST be putting us on, right?
First, “The pressure of it all is getting to be too much.”
The pressure of what? You don’t open mail, you don’t pay bills or rent and you don’t have a job. You claim to be a businessman and entrepreneur. One aspect that is a MUST for owning your own business is being able to handle and function with enourmous amounts of stress, yet your ability to handle stress seems to be far below average.
“My patience with the comments, negativity and the hate is also running very very low.”
What you see as hate, is really people trying to help you getting frustrated beyond belief because you will not listen to anything and rarely answer questions. You cry about things that “happen to you” when they are actually caused by your actions, usually because you did not take peoples advise. Then when you ask people what to do, and they tell you, you do nothing but think and meet and do whatever it else it is you do that might make you feel good for a little while, but actually accomplishes nothing.
How many hours did spend (waste) on the pool situation so far? (Blogging, talking to Realtor, calling pool guys, calling other people, thinking about it, thinking about it more, asking for advise, etc….) and at the end of the day nothing has been done to the pool. If it were my pool and I didn’t have a job, I would immediately hop in my car, drive over there and take care of the problem. Done. It amazes me, and I imagine everyone else, how you can take the simplest of problems and blow it up into a huge disaster that takes tons of your time yet you still can’t seem to resolve it.
People are screaming at you to not run in front of the moving bus, that is not hate. Your site is not helpful to anyone, it is entertainment. It’s like the modern day 3 stooges. 5th grade school girls are far crueller to each other than I’ve seen anyone be to you on this site, yet you can’t handle it? What leads you to believe you can run a profitable business then? What exactly are your positive qualities?
Also, a staged picture doen’t help.
