OK aside from being able to rent Edgar Allen Poe's, former property for a special sweet heart of a deal, with neighbors who shoe their own horses, churn their own butter, and spin their own wool. Buying a house makes sense.

Like how many people live in that situation? Also he says he rents 2 places? one in the country and one in the heart of London! Sheez, how many folks have that kind of money to be able to rent 2 places year round. That is a poor argument to continue to rent.

He is pissed that he didn't buy into the crash and now he is priced out and thinks his stupid post on FT might lower home prices in London. Good luck with that.

Anyone who buys in the SFBA has that kind of money. I rent two places for still less than buying a 2/1 condo around here. But everyone makes up their own math for justification reasons it seems.

You're the expert at making crap up--you should know I guess.

I did graduate with a math PhD at the ripe age of 22yrs old, so I guess I don't realize how hard simple math can be for some people. Hard to have empathy for fools.

LOL, from where, Sylvan?

And you (alledgedly)graduated from high school before you could even drive?

Yes, 15yrs old when I graduated high school. Skipped grades 4 and 7 and started some university math courses in my last year of high school.

What school allowed a 15 year old to take college courses? Universities/colleges require that the student must be at least 16 years old, and then strictly limit their courses until they have graduated from high school, and they only will allow the basics, and absolutely no 200 level classes.

We went through this exact issue with our son when he was in high school, and he had maxed out taking AP courses, and those imposed limits only allowed him to take classes that were at a level much lower than what he was at.

Many schools. Apparently 22 is not that young.

Cute, I meant the beginning age, not the graduation age...............and you knew that. Do you work for 'the state' also? LOL

Another pat-net bogus story and background.

You lost me. Weird math again I guess.

Ah yes, you brag about your 'successes' all the time on here, and yet it's taken you until now before you mentioned you got a PhD at 22. About as believable as all your other nonsense.

I received my PhD at the age of 5........................Permanent head Damage.

It's possible. I graduated at 16--started at age 4 and skipped 11th grade. I was on track to get an MA by 20, but I soon realized that college life was not conducive to study--these adults were a bad influence ;p. I took off an traveled the world, working in Europe and getting free trips from my mother's rich friend--I finally got that MA at 28.

This guy graduated from a US medical school at the age of 17.

I could be wrong, but I think RFHTC is doing a fake Roberto homage...

Wait until he tells us about his mandatory college unpaid internship that he did because he was ALREADY retired.

His posting of his 'knowledge' here is his contribution to his foundation that he started and does because he just wants to be able to share and give things back, because he's been so 'blessed'.

You're either trolling or wildly out-of-the-loop of what's possible when someone's very smart.

If you are playing Devil's advocate for renting for half the cost don't bother. RFHTC has been caught lying repeatedly on this forum. Don't waste your time, just put this person on ignore and go on with your life. I did and I'm happier for it.
