Lufos Aka Lucius
Congratulations on becoming an All Star Investor.
I recognized you were one when I saw the apartment building next to your name. I must warn you however that this building looks like it should be "condemned".
All these posts and you have reached the ranks of becoming a "Slum Landlord"
Now as for myself I have two of these atrocious looking buildings next to my name and only 1,491 more posts and I become the King of the Slum Landlords.
My best to you and looking forward to many more posts from you.

Only 1,491 post behind?
Ah, that's nothing for Lufos. If he raves up, he'll hook another crocked high riser before we can clap in disbelief. Never the less, the "first in a row biggy" calls for a party to be thrown out at Orlando, FL conference, celebrating Lufos AKA Lucius arrival in his private jet.
Beef up the security guys. From the hills of North Hollywood, the Lufos is coming - Big Time!
My hats off to Lufos!
It makes coming to this site on a daily basis a pleasure!

Conratulations Lucius you are nulli secundus. You deserve it. Thanks so much for all the help and advise you have given me and other Newbies. This site would not be what it is without investors like yourself to show us the way. Three things that come to mind when I think of you:
amicus humani generis
fortes fortuna iuvat
audaces fortuna iuvat
Thanks again and please keep doing what you do. Impart the knowledge with a bit of humor.
rara avis,

Dear Lucius,
In the immortal words of one of your old drinking buddies (Winston Churchill)...
"Carry on, and dread nought" ...
"Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result"...
"Never...was so much owed by so many to so few" ...
"Give us the tools, and we will finish the job."
Many happy ROI's.

Dear Friends,
Fellow searchers after wealth in the dirt. Saviors of depressed humanity. And you to Omega.
Thank you for your nice comments, it makes it all worth while. I will try to decrease the BS but frankly the market out there is churning so fast I think I am in a marathon and at 81 that aint good.
Today I had a front door slamned so hard in my face it jerked loose the Jack and King Stud and fell at my feet. There I stood my mouth wide open. The entire frame came with it. So of course I said the first thing that popped.
"Well! This changes things, can I get a discount now?"
No I did'nt get the deal but when we all got through laughing I think I made a friend. I am going back tomorrow to try and rehang the door.
There is very little equity and I am worried a about the construction. Looks like it was built by Gypsys and very late at night.
Thanks again for all the nice postings.
Your friend Lucius with a few splinters in my hair.
hey LUCIOUS..........heheheheeeee <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_lol.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_lol.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif"> 18 years old my ass...[ Edited by patricc68 on Date 02/15/2004 ]
Lucius,Talking about poor construction. About 10 years ago a builder friend of mine hired a mexican framing crew. They would frame the walls solid and raise the wall then take a chain saw and cut out the door and window frames.
Lufos:
I have a tear in my one good eye. You've finally hit the big time! I'm collecting some of your comments for a book called , Luciusisms for Fun a Profit". I figure to make a million.
I am one of your most loyal students & admirers. My question to you, once you got your first apartment building, why was I the first to be evicted?? My legal clinic attorney will be contacting in the morning. LOL
Congradulations Lufos!!
Here's to another 81 years of investing.

Well... I guess I have to add my 2 cents.

This framing technique sounds like a real construction gem. Can you trace that crew down, I would like to give 'em a job and then apply to include them on the framer's whole of fame. One condition thou, they will not be allowed to touch that wall
Guess who is presiding the board of framers whole of fame commission?
with all due respect I do not see the big deal with lufos?
Ok I do, his mind is exhilirating and his humbleness is infectious.
keep it up Sir,( you should be knighted)
KFURO
Lucious-
I guess if you knew you were going to live this long you would have taken better care of yourself?
Its mind expanding to think you may have forgotten more than the rest of us know ( It's a good thing you can fill in the blanks with great stories)
Keep up the postings. There is never a dull or wasted one.
I enjoy them and look forward to them - no matter the topic.

I could always sit and listen to my grandfather tell his stories of life, the war, the depression, and all the hardships he had to face...it always amazed me. Even at 28, I still would give anything to sit at his feet and listen.
There are too many cliches in the world, so I just say what I mean..."Lucius, I bet you've got some great stories...some good, some bad...but dam I bet you have some great stories."
As James Dean said (or maybe it was just The Eagles "I bet my life, would be alright, if I could see it on the silver screen)
Best Regards,

Lucius,
Thank you for all the you contributions to this board. It's one of the reason I keep coming back here.
Is any way to track all the posts by a user?
Keep them up. Lufos.
