I found someone I hate even worse than Trump, and yes that's possible [View all]

It's the jackals who wholesale houses.

Right now I've got three of those bastards sending me letters all the time - I get one about once every three days - offering me money to buy my house right now.

My house is EXTREMELY customized, and because of the modifications I've done to it, it's worth somewhere between $500k and $600k. The jackals are offering half that.

I'm in no money troubles, but I'm concerned about the people who are that might fall for these assholes trying to steal their homes.
