Of Moons, Millionares and Mothers Part 3: Storkules in Duckburg! aka THE INCREDIBLE STORKULES TERRIBLE BUT WELL MEANING ROOMATE OUT OF MYTH

Hello all you happy people! And welcome and welcome back to Of Moons, Millionares and Mothers, my look at the season 2 arcs of Ducktales! This arc was paid for by WeirdKev27 and I truly enjoy his support. if you want to know how to commission your own reviews or to get a guarnateed review of me of your choice from me a month, stick around to the end. I realized that shoving all my plugs in up top may be driving people away and while I DO make them because I want to make a living off this, i’ts not fair to those of you who simply can’t afford to buy a lot of extra shit like myself to keep shoving it in your face. 

Previously on the Louie Inc Arc, Louie, after believing he had no skills and it was a matter of when not if he ws going to die, found his talent: seeing all the angles and thus being Sharper than the Sharpies. With newfound confidence and a chip on his shoulder from Scrooge saying he could one day be a bigger success than Scrooge himself, founding Louie Inc as a result. But what is Louie Inc? Does he actually have a plan or a bunch of buzzwords. And what does STORKULES, MANLY GAY OUT OF MYTH have to do with any of this? Join me under the cut to find out. 

We open with Louie giving Scrooge his sales pitch that is essentially...

Naturally Scrooge buys none of it. I mean he’s somewhere in his hundreds, he’s probably seen about 80 thousand pitches that amount to “I have no plan but give me money anyway”. There’s a reason there’s a Butch Hartman shaped crater on the lawn from where he threw his ass out. 

Scrooge does mentor the lad, or at least attempt to pointing out he needs an actual product or service (Louie rejects the idea of a lemonade stand as too easy), or as he puts it “Find a problem and create a solution”. 

While the basic PRINCIPAL isn’t bad, find something people want or need and provide it, phrasing it that way sounds like “find a problem people are having and exploit the shit out of that problem for fun and profit.” Granted that IS a guiding principal of business, it’s just not something an uncle should be teaching his kids. They should be teaching them about the anime and cartoons they grew up with as I do with my niece and nibling. 

He does show him a valid example of this in action in the form of Donald. Turns out Donald has found a good way to make money while he looks for a job, can relate: since Duckburg is facing a housing shortage, likely because several square blocks probably get destroyed by Scrooge’s Adventures, Glomgold’s Schemes, Superhero Battles, whatever creation went horribly wrong for Gyro, etc at least once a week. So he’s taken it upon himself to offer up the spare room to whoever can rent it.. and to steal Scrooge’s chandelier which even when caught he still takes anyway. Scrooge.. you called the guy a god-damn moocher in the season premiere, despite the fact he lives there soley because YOU offered and because he’s you know, being responsible and staying by his boys so they have their father figure around. So yeah I feel he’s doing this partly out of spite as is the McDuck way. I mean if your going to call him a freeloader just for being a responsible parent, then he’s going to take it up a damn notch.

Scrooge proceeds to laugh off Louie wanting a million dollars and gives him a dime instead because of course he was. Seriously Louie there are two other billionaires in town who are FAR dumber and far more easily swindled. Just go get star up capital from them. Hell with Glomgold all you’d have to do is tell him it’d upset scrooge and he’d literally throw money at you. Or give you a shark full of money. He needs the shark back though. He’s family. 

Meanwhile Donald prepares for his new tenant and finds.. THE INCREDIBLE STORKULES! Who to his mounting horror as he realizes it, IS the new tenant. And who throws him into the sun. Cue credits. 

So after Donald somehow survives being thrown into the sun, Storkules explains why he’s here: Zeus responded to his son playing the lute a lot like any rational reasonable 

No of course he responded to the “crime” of “playing his instrument a lot” with sending a swarm of harpies on the town then blaming Storkules for it and casting him out. What’s most shocking is not the action, this is honestly him staying the course of being a fucking disgrace, but that Zeus somehow ISN’T the biggest asshole i’ve dealt with this week. No that honor is reserved as always for this bitch:

Keep in mind she manages to be this obnoxious in only TWO scenes. Also keep in mind I had to put up with Julie for a MUCH larger chunk of the previous two volumes I covered before volume 5 yesterday for my Scott Pilgrim Retrospective and she is ALWAYS like this and you now feel my pain. 

This does create a problem though: Zeus casts Storkules out until he’s a responsible adult.. and thus paints Storkules as the bad guy... in a situation where the only other person in the story sent a swarm of HARPIES down at him for simply playing his music too loud. It just dosen’t work as a catalyst: Storkules objectively did nothing wrong. The only person he annoyed was a person who clearly dosen’t love, respect or like his son in any way shape or form anyway and essentially assaulted him and a bunch of innocent people via harpie and then cast him out. Zeus is an abusive asshole and i’ts weird the narrative sides with HIM and not our well meaning doofus. Zeus being an asshole with harpies is not a bad catalyst for the episode, and the harpies being unleashed is used well.. it’s just not a good catalyst for THIS story to try and portray an abuser as in the right. And make no mistake Zeus is a domestic abuser: he had his son mind controlled to try and MURDER innocent people, something Storkules begged him not to do, sent a swarm of creatures after him for the crime of playing his music too loud and in his next episode manipulatives Storkules sad emotional state for personal gain. Why would you try and paint THIS jackass as in the right?

Speaking of painting this jackass in the right sadly.. this episode does not do my boy donald justice. In most episodes he’s pretty nuanced and i’ts fair enough he’d be frustrated by Storkules as a roomate. Storkules has little sense of personal space, breaks his stove thinking theirs hydra in it, makes a mess of the kitchen making them a meal, and in general clearly dosen’t know how to live with a roomate much less in modern society. He has valid concerns and the episode COULD have used it that way.. but he’s also horribly impatient with Storkules. He refuses to get the guy just hasn’t had to live in a modern society and dosen’t know HOW to function in it and instead of helping him just gets mad again and again and gets really pissed when it’s clear Storkules dosen’t have a job and didn’t consider paying rent. He’s not WRONG to want him to pay Rent, despite what ironically the musical Rent would try and have you believe, but he dosen’t have any patience with the guy. And stork isn’t nearly coming on as strong as he normally does. The worst he does is cook the guy lunch and bring his donald fan art with him. Which we don’t see but I am assuming is mostly naked. What i’m saying is for once that while still bombastic, Storkules isn’t trying to force a relationship/friendship on him and simply wants to learn t be an adult from his best friend.. and Donald isn’t bothering teaching him.

Asking for rent or for him not to destroy the stove is fine, but not explaining WHY he needs either of those things or why he needs boundaries, he makes a roomate list, isn’t helping the guy. And this would be fine... but the episode dosen’t call Donald out on it for no real reason. It feels like it’s setting up for a “you should learn to wokrk with someone instead of just screaming at them aseop” that never comes and like with Zeus takes his side because shutup. I’d also LIKE to say this is the only time the writers reduced one of the cast to a caracture of themselves.. but I can’t.  Several episodes in season 3 forgot Louie’s character development and another episode in season 2, The Duck Knight Returns!, somehow reduced both Scrooge and Dewey to parodies of themselves with Scrooge SOMEHOW, despite Della as stubborn as she is being in his care and by his side for decades and Movies bein ga huge business, not having seen a movie since the 1920′s and not knowing how they work and Dewey being reduced to just hyperactive moron. It isn’t as common as other shows like say Regular Show, The Loud House or, for the exact reason I lost intrest, Rick and Morty, but I still expect better, especially since they went into this season KNOWING Donald would be gone for half of it and this would likely be one of his only spotlight episodes. 

Back at the good part of the plot, Louie is having a company meeting aka already treating Huey and Webby like his employees. Webby of course is glad to sign on, if little help in actually coming up with a product while Huey just wants to nope out. And if your wondering why Dewey isn’t involved Louie outright says he’d make a bad employee and while Dewey rises from his bed to object.. he stops halfway to opening his mouth and concludes he has a point. Best gag of the episode. Louie being louie easily cons Huey into staying by making Webby his charts officer. 

So the three have a corporate retreat at Funso’s... granted they don’t have a product but Louie figures this might help. Huey.. still wants out of this and suggest since they already spent what they had on ski ball “Company over?”. It’s clear that Huey just sees this as another one of Louie’s short sighted schemes... and while he’s not ENITRELY wrong, Louie has genuine ambition.. he just has no earthly idea what he’s doing and is shooting way too high.. but for understandable reasons. 1) He’s 11 at this point. 11 year olds aren’t great at business strategy or reinging it in. 2) he wants to live up to what Scrooge said to prove he can be successful and really be worth something like his mom was. 

But sometimes fate throws you one and the harpies bust in. And while Louie wants to do nothing and hope they go away Huey and Webby spring into action.. as does Storkules, who had to leave but warns donald there’s Orzo in the slowcooker and to not open it “LEST THE PASTA FAIL TO ABSORB THE BROTH!” Which is just.... Chris’ best line dleivery the episode. He says it like he’s saying the title of an old Stan Lee and Jack Kirby comic, i’ts wonderful.

So our heroes defeat them and Louie steps in to charge for the service and quickly comes up with a company idea and name “Harp-B-Gone” (A Subsidary of Louie Inc). Louie hires Storkules on the spot. Storkules proudly tells Donald he has a job the next day and goes off to it. What follows is our heroes hilarously shooting a commerical with Storkules playing a baby to promote themselves so they can help who needs it. They just need to find out what they want.. and thanks to the JWG and the harpies stealing it find out they go after people’s most treasured posessions   Cue Ghostbusters-Style Montage

And this isn’t just me saying thing. The Rewriting History Entry (Which as a series weirdly stops around mid-season 2 and I don’t get why frank hasn’t gone back and finished it since) states they specifically based this whole operation on ghostbusters and the entire sequence of our heroes cleanin up the town reminds me of it. The highlight of it is a glomgold cameo where he’s kidnapped.. and refuses to pay so Louie just lets him go. And were this an innocent person who couldn’t afford it, i’d call him a monster.. but it’s glomgold. he brought this on himself.. and also sues himself for it. Wonder if he won. 

So with their stars rising, our heroes get booked on the hottest show in town: Dewey Dew-Night! I had honestly forgotten there was a Dewey Dew-Night segment in there, and delighted I get to talk about this recurring bit.  It’s one of the shows funniest runners and just perfectly FITS Dewey: of course the most egotistical and energetic of the kids would not only want to be a late hnight host but make up his own show. I also love the slow evolution of it: it started as something everyone clearly knew about but he stlill tried to keep hidden, slowly escalated to him allowing the rest of his siblings (Webby very much included) and the giant man who stalks his uncle in, and by later this season he’s putting the show online in the web shorts and gladly shooting it into space, with Season 3 having him spend the first half of let’s get dangerous making a documentary that includes an episode of the show featuring Darkwing. It’s a small thing sure, but it’s the little things like this that make the show special. 

The show does reveal a problem though as it turns out they’ve GOT all the harpies and while Storkules merely wanted to help, Louie points out they need more to keep a buisness going and naturally never bothered to ask Storkules just how many there were. They need SOME plan to get going. Webby submits a legitamte and great idea, training the harpies as she’s been trying to do in the background of the episode and aside from a hole in the floor they are starting to listen. But Huey is an ass about it and not only shoots it down saying let’s keep the dangerous creatures contained, even though A) he has no idea WHERE they’ve been kept so he can’t verify it’s safe, and since i’ts Donald’s Closet no no it’s not. and B)There’s no where he knows of to keep them. He isn’t aware of the other bin till next season. and C) it’s not ehtical to keep creatures locked up forever epsecially since while the harpies are dangerous they arent’ MALEVOLENT and are clearly acting on instinct. oh and for D) at least she has a plan to keep the company going instead of just wanting to end this and cash out. 

Which Huey tries to.. but naturally Louie spent all their money on...

So their broke.. and Storkules has no rent money and feels like a failure despite having done NOTHING wrong. We do get a clever little nod to Disney’s hercules though “I”m not a hero, i’m a zero”. Webby rightfully glares at Louie who decides to fix it... by sneaking into Donald’s house that night to free the harpies. 

Though to the shows credit it’s a VERY bad idea, and Storkules coming in mid attempt and congradulating Louie when he lies about checking the door gets the kid to come clean. And it’s a nice character moment: He could still go through with it.. but it’s clear he realizes just HOW low he was about to sink to save his own skin and that as much as Storkules WANTS a paycheck and deserves one, it’s not worth hurting people to get it. Louie tries to justify after this.. but can’t. 

Unforutnately Donald took a lot of stupid pills this episode, yells about his no pets rule and frees them instead of you know, THINKING for five minutes.

So yeah NATURALLY Donald is an angry shit about it , refusing to actually TALK to Storkules about this or maybe admit this is partly HIS OWN FAULT. Yes their both at fault, Storkules shoudln’t of shoved a bunch of harpies in a closet. That’s a classic blunder. But Donald still opened it and isn’t called out on taking zero responsibility. Huey sees the fracas and just takes down their days without an accident placard, good stuff and he and webby arrive to help. Donald fights with Storkules and Storkules worries about loosing his friend.. lead to them going after the thing he values most aka donlad and hyjacking the house boat, though the kids manage to get aboard. 

As Storkules saves Donald, Louie realizes the most precious thing he has is  his merch and willingly gives it, and his buisness up to save everyone. It’s good character stuff and shows that despite his problems with greed, Louie IS a good kid and will do the right thing. It’s what seperates him from the Rouges Gallery the family faces: He has FLEXIBLE morals but he has morals when it comes down to it. So everyone tosses the stoff to help direct the hapries and make it home tying them up. Donald has a heart to heart with Storkules and agrees to help him find another place, but still considers him a friend and they hug. Awww.  One intresting thing I DID find out from rewriting history is they originally fully intended to have Storkules STAY on the houseboat. He was going to be a permenant member of the household, at least as far as Season 2 was concenred and plans were made for several episodes down the road: the whole bit with him in “The Golden Spear” was simply because he lived there, he was going to be the one Della met in the houseboat, obliviously guilting her about what she’d missed, and he was going to set off the kids subplot in “Whatever Happened to Donald Duck?”

This ended up not happneing for logistical reasons: Frank, and I swear this was the term he used, felt they already had the perfect Himbo in Launchpad and it was just too much HImbo energy for the two to coexist without one taking the others screen time or neither getting a lot. 

The next reason was having a god around simply broke the story: He cited the gilded man from “Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!” as a specific example. There were just too many hoops to jump to have him not break any story he should be around for.  Finally with Della being added to the cast soon there simply wasn’t room in the main cast. Della brought it up to 9, Storkules would make it 10, and as i’ve gone on about the show already had trouble ballancing it’s cast, something Frank admitted to. Adding him would both be too big a stiatus quo change and be one on top of the massive one of Della joining the cast. So he was dropped back to recurring and only showed up one more time. And while it was the right call I am dismayed he didn’t show up for the whatever happened to donald duck subplot and it does feel very weird he never adresses Donald being gone despite, at least for season 2, apparently living in Duckburg. Otherwise though as funny as this wouldv’e been.. yeah it was the right call. 

Scrooge returns... having been absent all episode because otherwise it wouldn’t work and easily saw Louie loosing it all coming.. but gives him a can of lemonade for his troubles and comforts the boy. The heart of htis arc and what makes it work at it’s best.. is these two. Scrooge GENUINELY wants to help Louie see his potetial successor in buisness: oh sure adventure wise he’s throughly covered.. but Webby, Dewey and Della all are more focused on the addventure part and that’s where their passion and talent lies, Huey’s better at science and given his close frinedship with fenton and how much that part of things seems to truly inspire him, i’ts what he was born for, and Donald just wants a regualar life and can’t manage his own life much less a company. 

Louie is the only one in his family whose the right fit to inhereit that part of his legacy and I feel that’s why he takes a special intrest in him and webby over the other two: While he loves all of them and will clearly again leave a piece of his fortune and empire to all of them, Webby is the most like him, as we later find out not coincidentally in the slightest, when it comes to adventuring and curosity and a love of exploration. But Louie is the most like him in other ways; He’s cynical, money driven and passionate. Scrooge simply wants him to be as good a person and buisnessperson as he can be and is trying to push him in the right direction. And does so here by pointing out that failure isn’t a huge problem..it happens, comes with the terriotiry and as we’ve seen with life and times, even with portions of it clearly not happening in this universe, he failed a LOT to get here. What matters is that he tries and tries to do it the right way. 

Scrooge also sympathizes as he was buying a lemonade company in cape suzette, giving Louie the can as a present... but laments there’s no cheap effective way to deliver the lemons. Louie notices the harpies going after the can after he throws it and Webby controlling them with it and muses that theyd idn’t think about what THEY wanted.. nad rightfully gets punched across the lawn by Webby, whose had to spend an entire episode having her surrogate brothers talk down to her and ignore her valid ideas. She dosen’t even open her eyes she just bops him one.

So we end with Scrooge having enlisted the hapries, Louie trying to take credit again and both realizing they might just steal the lemons instead of work for them. Ha ha ha their going to get so sued. 

Final Thoughts: This one was mediocre. It has some good points, Louies arc continues to fascenate me, Huey’s done with this shit attitude is hilarous, and Storkules is at his best in this episode: his crush on Donald is toned down from this..

To this

To the point I could see shipping them off this one if Storkules episode didn’t have him do eveyrthing short of .. well see above.  So it’s not WITHOUT merit: I love me a ghost busters style plot, there are great jokes and Chris Dimatopolis is a gem as always. Glad he’s getting work after this show on Invincible and hope he gets to play Darkwing again some day. But the Donald stuff and the fairly predictable plot drag this one down. I’ts fairly obvious they’ll run out of harpies, Louie will have spent the money and they’ll somehow get free. It’s not a terrible episode but it’s it’s sandwiched story wise between two straight up classics on both sides: the previous two episodes were even better than I remembered and the next two are incredibly good: Whateve Happened to Della Duck?! is one of their finest hours and The Outlaw Scrooge McDuck, while not making my best of list for the series as a whole is still one of my favorites for the season.  It’s just disapointing this one wasn’t nearly as good as I remmebered and it’s understandable why I forgot almost all of it, unlike the previous two episodes. Thankfully as I said better’s over the horizon.

NEXT TIME ON OF MOONS, MILLIONARES AND MOTHERS: I’m taking a break for a week. One of two weeklong breaks for the arc, the other being the first week of July where i’m on vacation anyway (Though i’ll be doing the episode I would’ve done for that week the week before to keep the pace up, so no worries),

 As for why, it’s my utmost honor to announce GOOF WEEK! Goof Week is a weeklong celebration of Goofy’s birthday. The idea came about because as I do for the big three, I intended to just do a shorts special. But Kev , the guy who made this very review possible, suggested doing the two part Goof Troop pilot. And since kev pays for a house of mouth episode a month anyway and thaks to you lovely people I hit my patreon stretch goal to review the goofy movie, I figured “why not make a week out of it. Hence Goof week. So next week we’ll have a review of the two part pilot for Goof Troop, the special Sports Goof, the House of Mouse episode Super Goof, your regularly schedule shorts spectacular, with The Goofy Movie for the grand finale! yaaahoooooieeee! 

When we come back i’ll be shuffling episodes around slightly so I can do the Della comics from the Ducktales Tie-In Comic before her debut and in time for Donald’s own theme week in June, i’ll be saving “Whatever Happened to Della Duck?” for the week after Donald Week. Instead next we get a fun wild west adventure as Scrooge tells a story of his outlaw days, his tension with goldie and his encounter with a certain robber baron as John D Rockerduck FINALLY makes his screen debut. Yee-Haw!

Naomi’s Story

My childhood was idyllic and surrounded in opulence in the wealthiest municipality of Rhode Island on the western side of Narragansett Bay. Goombahs ran the village, misguided judgment and organized corruption ran rampant in our leadership from the police, to the mayor, to the school board, but no one talked much about that. Instead, we focused on our waterfront properties, Italian fine dining restaurants, and seemingly perfect lives while the men took care of business. I grew up with wops and old money, and nothing in between. 

In 2005, my father’s firm went bankrupt, and with it, went half our assets tied up in privately held stock. My father’s dream was to be a New York financial services man, a true business man, and he worked on that from the cornfields of Indiana. All throughout his early years, he worked two factory jobs to pay his college tuition in hopes to be somewhere better than he was. To provide for his mother, the immigrant from Wales, and to to be a force of stability for his young, first family. He never got to New York, but I was determined that I would live out that dream. So by fifth grade, when everyone else wanted to be a vet or a doctor or a teacher, I said I wanted to be an investment banking analyst for Goldman Sachs.  We had to move from Rhode Island to the midwest after the demise of the company. My father took his second family, my mother and I, back to Indiana. He wanted something easier than what New England was, something cheaper, something nicer, something familiar. But, I was different. I was the embodiment of New England: I spoke with a thick accent, my hair was curly and big, and my values were different. The cornfield kids couldn’t quite understand me. I went from being the most popular schoolyard kid with tons of wop friends and hanging out with their daddies, the barones, the bagmen, the consigliere's, the dons, to trying to integrate myself with the children of farmers and working to middle class professionals.  And so, beginning in fifth grade, I was different. When I sat down at the lunch table, the other children took their lunches to another spot; at recess, I would go to swing, and the others would go to the slides. And I tried to be like the others, I wanted to fit in. I began speech therapy, I dressed in their clothes, I read their books and watched their television shows, but it wasn’t enough even back in those days. My entire early adolescence was hallmarked by rejection and desperately wanting to be liked, to even be marginally accepted.  I went to five different schools from 2005 - 2009, all with similar results. My parents finally sent me to a Catholic school in downtown Indianapolis off 56th street. There, I met a group of black poets that finally gave me the acceptance and friendship that I had craved for years. It was my first taste of normalcy in almost five years. And I met a boy, Robbie, who I took home. I realized that day that the world is not as colorblind as I am. My father told me that it was the saddest day of his life since his mother died. And later that year, as I continued to be involved in poetry groups and cultural clubs, I competed in a statewide poetry slam. I won the state award for my poem and my parents threw away the trophy. So, who was I supposed to be? Everything started to get confusing as every turn I made seemed to be the wrong choice and my victories were detriments.  And amid all of this, the recession was happening and worsened. Company consolidations and closures caused my family to relocate again, this time to Ohio. The village reminded me of Rhode Island a bit; on the far east side, this small, cozy village had a median household income of $187,00 with only a couple thousand residents. The high school looked like the University of Pennsylvania, and all of the homes were brick, big, and beautiful. And so I set out again to be a new version of myself: the blonde, straight haired, Coach-wearing, Abercrombie-wearing girl. Would they like me as a sophomore?  No, they didn’t. Because as much as I tried, most of the kids had known each other for years and there wasn’t space for me. So I did as I had done in the year prior: I found the black poets, the people who seemed to get me and understand my struggle. Meanwhile, I joined track, of which I was one of two whites, there, too. Within a month into the school year, I was typecast with all sorts of derogatory terms. But it didn’t matter to me, yet, and I was happy with my friend group, and met another boy, J. And there were never two people closer.  J was a state champion track star who wrote poetry and attended our school half of the day, and attended a trade school for the remainder of the day. We bonded as he helped me condition and train, and we passed a poetry journal back and forth. Though my friend Rayvon told me, “he’s trouble,” it didn’t stop me. I was used to being marginalized, and almost empathized with the fact that  J was too.  Still, I wanted to fit in and be liked. So when Rayvon set me up with her friend, I went along with it. Then, on September 4, 2009, we went to Micah’s birthday party, hosted in a multi-million dollar home in our village in the basement. J and I were both in relationships with other people, mostly on the recommendations of other people, but it didn’t stop him from kissing me. In front of everyone. And in five seconds, I lost everyone in my life.  And so, not knowing where to turn, I called J the following Monday. We met at the local coffee shop. I had an exam the following day, so he suggested that we studied at his house. I agreed. And as soon as we walked into his home, and closed the front door, it was no sooner that I was in a forced grip. I laughed at first, thinking my poetry-loving friend was teasing, but he wasn’t. Fear sunk in. He dragged me upstairs, as I was kicking and screaming, undressed me, and shoved himself into me. I was fifteen and a virgin.  The next day, people at school laughed at me. They called me the slut who slept with J. “Slut.” “Whore.” And again, I was a marginalized and lonely outcast just two months into a new school. Shouldn’t I have been used to it? People laughed at me and gossiped about me and no one knew anything. After this, things got fuzzy for me. I hardly remember the next two years much at all. I hung around a lot of shady people and did things that I wish I could take back, what little I remember, but deep down I knew I didn’t really deserve much better. A lot of people put their hands on me back then.  Going into my senior year, J made the news. He murdered his long time girlfriend right there in one of our quaint village homes in the foyer. I remember watching the live local news stream in a trance, not quite sure if what I was seeing had any base in reality but it did. And J called me that night after not speaking to me in two years. I didn’t pick up. By the end of the night, he was shot dead in the Walgreen’s parking lot and they extracted his girlfriend’s body out of the trunk of his car.  I went to the memorial in his family’s home, the same one that I had been to all of those years prior. His mother looked at me, and said to me, “It’s you. You’re the girl.” She took me upstairs to his bedroom where photos of me and our shared poetry and letters were scattered across his desk. What the fuck do you do with that, even now, after all this time has passed? The rest of the night remains a blur.  I only really remember one thing about my senior year: Briyana, the new girl from the nearby Catholic school. She took to me right away, and I took to her right back. And despite desperately needing a friend, I told her to keep her distance from me; I told her that to say I was unpopular was an understatement, and her reputation would be tarnished in being seen with me. So she did stay away. And I remember almost nothing else, just small clips of getting suspended, of shooting up PCP, of smoking weed in the girls locker room, of getting by in school with high remarks because it still wasn’t that challenging to me.  So then I went to the community college the next year. I crossed paths with Briyana again by chance. Our boyfriends were suite mates, and we became best friends. We were all a family that year. We helped each other and took care of each other. But we were also wild and reckless and young. Tyga’s Molly played on the background frequently as the bunch of them snorted lines and partied into the night. I was the only one that did ever end up graduating in that bunch. And through a series of unfortunate events, everything fell apart. And I absolutely had to go this time. And go far.  So Binghamton, NY happened. And I recreated myself again. This time, I was going to be an Air Force ROTC gal studying financial engineering and statistics. It had to work, I needed it to work. And again, I had wonderful suite mates and people that talked like how I used to, and more than anything, I was so proud of what I was accomplishing away from the disaster that the midwest had been for me. But as suddenly as I felt safe, it was over... again... Several months into the school year, my Air Force paperwork was rejected by HQ. Prior drug use, self-injury scars, you name it and I had it. And perhaps for the first time, but not the last time, I totally destructed. I threw up everyday, my veins bulged, I was dizzy and disoriented and often forgot where I was or who I was. So, hence, a medical withdrawal. But with my autoimmune symptoms and underlying medical issues, I had to see a specialist. And with a sick twist of irony, that specialist was in Columbus, Ohio.  After a multi-month stint of being on bed rest and racking up over $150,000 in medical bills, I enrolled at Ohio State. And as I was sitting in a Slavic Film class on a Tuesday, I saw Briyana going into the nearby classroom in McPhearson Hall. And just like that, we reconnected again as if no time had passed. I was still sick in those days and hardly a hundred pounds, so Briyana became a caregiver to me of sorts. And we were inseparable.  Not soon after we reconnected, we moved in together in off-campus housing in Columbus’s Chinatown. She worked for Bob Evans and I worked for an insurance company, and we both attended classes full time. This was around the time that Obama passed all sorts of labor laws, one of which required employers to give certain benefits should their employees work a minimum number of hours. Briyana’s hours were cut by over half about a month prior to our next tuition statement coming due.  I told her about a site my friend Trina used, Seeking Arrangement. “You just go on dates with lonely men and they pay you.” If only it was that easy. I thought it was that easy. She signed up and when the day came to meet this guy, she couldn’t do it. So I went in her place. And I found out quickly that it had nothing to do with going on dates at all. But by this point, sneaking into college exams for Briyana was nothing really. I was willing to commit any conceivable sin for the person who nursed me back to health and I felt gave me my entire life back and more.  As I learned, three grand has a fucking high price tag. At nineteen years old, I was in way above my head. Blackmail. Guns. Threats. So I kept doing it, and I was so used it - just trying to survive. And then, amid all of this, Briyana met Jo. And everything I did is reduced to a kind favor but it’s all now in the past. One day, I came home from visiting my parents and our entire apartment was empty, right down to the missing bed, kitchen table, and shower curtain.  What did I have left? I was still enrolled at the Fisher College of Business and a part of a financial club on campus and investment banking program. The president of the club, C, had roofied me and assaulted me in months prior but that was semantics? This is the same one that threw me down a flight of stairs on my birthday, but why not? In hindsight, it was stupid of me to ever think his red hair could be a symbol for warmth instead of the fiery hell that he was. But still, I remember thinking that we could create something beautiful out of our individual brokenness. It’s still a sore point for me even now when I reminiscence on this and recall that he had dozens of me.  He knew about what happened with Briyana, and everything that it entailed to be her loyal friend. When we would fight, he would hold it all over my head and taunt me. Our relationship ended in the Sexual Violence Office at Ohio State and his degree was nearly revoked. I was ready to fight fire with fire. No one was going to blackmail me anymore. And then again, the void.  But I was so busy at work and trying to manage a full school load, I didn’t have any more energy or time to devote to interpersonal relationships. Until I met C. And there were so many red flags: twice divorced, three children, a war veteran, and a current prop fund owner based out of Manhattan. What could go wrong except everything?  C and I were engaged in three months. We met while he was traveling the midwest for work at a local bar near the college campus. At first, he was everything I ever wanted: an Italian, handsome man with incredible work ethic, passion for life, and wit. He was so sharp and so alluring, you could see peoples’ eyes watching him in restaurants, bars, and as we walked in the Short North. And he understood my pain well and had his own. We married and I moved back home to the northeast. We lived in Philadelphia and New Jersey. It was all great until it wasn’t. I can’t speak on it yet, but it was three long years of maximum verbal and physical abuse, resulting in me returning to Ohio in an effort to escape.  And then, now divorced and as frail as I could have been, I met, D. There was entire year, 2018, where I couldn’t leave my apartment without panic attacks, wasn’t working much, and wasn’t really going to school. I just existed. I finally joined a small insurance company that spring, and the following spring, as I was re-acclimating to society and, truly, life again, D came into my life. April 25, 2019.  And D gave me a lightness in my life that I never had before. And he made me laugh sincerely. He listened to me, and understood me, and respected me for all I was in the past, all I presently was, and all I hoped to be. He gave me my twenties back and let me, for the first time, be young and carefree. He would take me to beautiful places, like Maumee Bay in Toledo and state parks, and I took him to all my favorite secret spots around the city of Columbus. We would go to coffee cafes and parade High Street and laugh on the weekends like I had never laughed. I told him things I had never told anyone. And when we would make love, it felt like he was kissing and running his fingers across my soul.  And I realized by May of 2019, I never knew true love until I knew him. And it felt like everything that happened in my life had to happen in order to be there in that moment with him. Perhaps inappropriate, perhaps premature, but I knew I wanted to marry him. I knew I wanted a life with him for as long as my days on earth.  But as my feelings continued to strengthen and I felt with full certainty that I would spend my life with D, his feelings faded. I was too much. Being with me hurt. It wasn’t easy. And so as I thought we were building an empire, he was setting the house on fire to watch it burn. And I knew by the winter that he could never really love me. As much as I wanted him to, as much as I loved him, I couldn’t overcome that to love back was a choice and it wasn’t one he could make.  So February of 2020 happened. It will remain the hardest month of my life, perhaps until now. 

This was not cathartic or meaningful in any way.

To Solve 3 Cold Cases, This Small County Got a DNA Crash Course In October of 2016, the remains of three murder victims, dead for three decades, were laid to rest in Newton County, a rural corner of Indiana. Two were young men, likely teenagers, the victims of a serial killer in 1983. The third was a woman found dead in 1988 on the bank of a creek. She had been shot in the head, covered with car tires and lit on fire. Their bones, stored in tattered cardboard boxes and black trash bags, had been passed down from one county coroner to the next. When Scott McCord took the job in 2009, he gave the remains names: Adam, Brad and Charlene. He ordered anthropological and dental analyses, facial sketches and DNA tests in an effort to find their true identities. Nothing panned out. So Mr. McCord gave Newton County, a community of about 14,000, a chance to mourn their “kids,” as he called them. He paid for three small coffins, and a local florist donated flowers. Nineteen high school students volunteered to be pallbearers. After a ceremony at a county building, the teens piled into a yellow school bus and Mr. McCord, a part-time bus driver, followed three hearses, each donated from a different funeral home, to the cemetery. “I didn’t think we’d ever see resolution to any of the cases,” Mr. McCord said. As it turned out, he was wrong. In late 2019, Mr. McCord, his deputy and a county prosecutor decided to try a complicated forensic technique that had nabbed the infamous Golden State Killer a year earlier. The effort turned into a yearlong crash course in a niche area of science: using genetic markers to build multigenerational family trees. It would require a million-dollar DNA sequencing machine, a custom-built computer in Texas and the utmost patience of volunteer genealogy buffs. Mr. McCord and his team are among a growing number of investigators that have joined the scientific vanguard to revive cold cases. Hundreds of cases, of both victims and perpetrators, have likely been solved. Some have involved extracting DNA from decades-old bones, hair or minute traces of skin cells. Others have benefited from the most comprehensive and expensive type of DNA testing, known as whole-genome sequencing. In turn, a cottage industry has emerged to help. Critics worry that the widening use of this investigational method could lead to what is essentially a national DNA database for law enforcement, giving police access to highly personal information from a wide swath of the public without their explicit consent. The only significant limit is the cost — typically several thousand dollars per case — and that is dropping rapidly, as demand surges. “My county was more than happy to pay,” Mr. McCord said. Everyone and their grandmother Genetic genealogy debuted more than 20 years ago as a pastime for ancestry enthusiasts. The customer sent a saliva sample to a company like FamilyTreeDNA and could then log in to a website showing how closely their genetic markers matched with those of other people — long-lost relatives — in the company’s databases. Margaret Press, a software developer and mystery writer, had used the method for years to help adoptees find their biological parents. In 2017, while reading a novel based on an unsolved murder, she realized that her skills might be equally useful to law enforcement. “It just hit me,” she said. “The same technique that we were using for adoptee searches and finding unknown parents was adaptable to bones and unidentified remains.” She co-founded a nonprofit, called the DNA Doe Project, to try to match unidentified remains with genetic profiles that had been uploaded to an open-source genealogy database called GEDMatch. A set of unknown remains might match to a distant, known cousin, for example. An investigator could then build out a large family tree, first identifying the ancestors the two cousins have in common, such as great- or great-great-grandparents, and then investigating individual branches from those ancestors. Only some of those people would have lived in the right place and time as the unknown victim. More research, and the process of elimination, could ultimately reveal the Doe’s identity. On April 10, 2018, the DNA Doe Project announced that it had used this method to positively identify a 21-year-old woman, previously known only as the “Buckskin Girl,” who had been found strangled in Ohio in 1981; it was the first time the public learned about a cold case solved with genetic genealogy. Two weeks later, police officers in California arrested Joseph James DeAngelo, the so-called Golden State Killer who had murdered 13 people and raped dozens in the 1970s and 80s. The technique employed was again the same, except this time the genetic sample came from the unknown culprit — a trace of semen left at a crime scene — not from a victim’s remains. That case made headlines for weeks, and “the floodgates opened,” Dr. Press said. Investigators across the country were eager to try the technique on their own cold cases, and an industry sprang up to help. Parabon NanoLabs, a forensics company based in Reston, Va., was an early pioneer, and has since worked on more than 550 cases for law enforcement. The Golden State Killer and many other cases relied upon a DNA test called a microarray, which generates a subset of key markers from a person’s DNA code, like an abridged version of a book. But increasingly, investigators are turning to private companies for whole-genome sequencing, which reconstructs a person’s entire DNA code. This more sensitive test is often best for old and degraded DNA, such as from skeletal remains heavily contaminated with bacteria. HudsonAlpha Discovery, a lab in Alabama, has worked on about 1,100 forensic cases. Astrea Forensics, in California, began as part of an academic paleogenetics lab, and Othram, in Texas, has worked on hundreds of cases and raised more than $10 million in venture capital. “It really has exploded,” Dr. Press said. “Everyone and their grandmother is now setting up shop.” As a result, many cold cases have become quicker and cheaper to resolve. In the Golden State Killer case, six investigators worked full time for four months to narrow in on the culprit. Now cases are often solved in weeks or days. The DNA Doe Project, run by Dr. Press and dozens of volunteers, has taken on about 120 cases since 2017, and has fielded inquiries from another 200 or so. Many were from small sheriff’s or coroner’s offices with few resources, Dr. Press said. They are often just as skeptical of the technique, she said, as they are of the psychics who frequently call with tips on open cases: “For many of them it’s in the same category — do I call the psychic back or the genealogist back?” Testing Charlene Mr. McCord and his team in Newton County had not considered genetic genealogy until Rebecca Goddard, the county’s chief deputy prosecutor, heard about the DNA Doe Project on a podcast called “Crime Junkie.” “I understood very little,” Ms. Goddard said. “I just sort of understood the concept of using ancestry to create a family tree.” Mr. McCord reached out to the DNA Doe Project for help, and a collaboration began. Initially, his team divided up the three open cases. As a prosecutor, Ms. Goddard took the only one that was still an open homicide: Charlene Doe, whose charred remains were found by a fisherman in 1988. Mr. McCord took Adam Doe, and his deputy (and girlfriend), Heidi Cobleigh, took Brad Doe. A serial killer, Larry Eyler, had confessed to both boys’ murders years earlier but had not known their names. The plan was for all three investigators to take an online course in genetic genealogy, which would walk them through a mock case. But Mr. McCord and Ms. Cobleigh quickly realized that they were not cut out for the work. It involved hour upon hour of computer searches for obituaries, family trees and other public records in order to deduce the precise familial relationships of people with shared genetic markers. “We sat down and tried to do it and it was just overwhelming,” Mr. McCord said. “It made zero sense to me.” But Ms. Goddard immediately took to it, and dove into Charlene’s case. Back in 2010, Mr. McCord had commissioned a Texas lab to run a DNA test from one of Charlene’s teeth. That test resulted in just a couple dozen genetic markers — too sparse to be compatible with genealogy databases. Luckily the lab, which runs the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, had kept the remaining DNA sample in storage. So now, a decade later, the DNA could be retested with the far more sophisticated whole-genome technology. There was just one problem: The sample contained only 0.3 nanograms, or 300 trillionths of a gram, of genetic material. “When we heard how much it was, we were definitely like, well, not sure if this will work but we’ll give it a shot,” said Kevin Lord, a bioinformatician and private investigator in Belton, Tex., and the lab liaison for the DNA Doe Project. Charlene’s sample, in a tiny plastic tube, was wrapped in foam and cold packs, and shipped overnight to HudsonAlpha’s lab in Huntsville, Ala. There, the DNA went into a NovaSeq 6000, a million-dollar machine resembling a photocopier. Human DNA is made of three billion “base pairs,” a unique set of molecular letters that creates a book of instructions for our cells. At HudsonAlpha, Charlene’s DNA was split into tiny fragments, then placed in the sequencing machine to decode the precise sequence of letters in each. The machine then created a file containing all of these tiny sequences and uploaded it to a server. Mr. Lord downloaded that file — 71 gigabytes of raw data — onto a custom-built computer and began piecing all of those fragments back together in the right order, producing Charlene’s full genetic code. From there, he focused on a subset of roughly 1.5 million key markers, known as SNPs, that make up the genetic “profiles” used by genealogy companies. He then sent Charlene’s profile to the two genealogy databases, GEDMatch and FamilyTreeDNA, that make themselves available to law enforcement for such cases. Then came the hard part. Database hunting Ms. Goddard was determined to hone her new sleuthing skills on Charlene’s case. Last May, she began training with L. Elias Chan, a volunteer at the DNA Doe Project who runs a genealogy research business in Seattle. Each database produced a list of people who were genetically related to Charlene, sorted by the percentage of their shared DNA. If a match shared 50 percent of her DNA, for example, it could be a parent, child or full sibling. At lower percentages, the familial possibilities grow; a three-percent match could be a second cousin, a first cousin twice removed, a half first cousin once removed or a befuddling array of other relationships. Ms. Goddard and Mx. Chan met via video chat, sometimes several times a week, to work through Charlene’s matches. Mx. Chan would assign Ms. Goddard an intriguing match, and then suggest ways to track it down. “If she got stuck, she’d send me a message, like, What do I do here?” Mx. Chan recalled. Success in such cases often depends on the size of the database: The larger it is, the more likely it will produce a match. The GEDMatch and FamilyTreeDNA databases are enormous, including millions of people who have voluntarily uploaded their own genetic information. (Ancestry.com and 23andMe also have huge databases but have opted not to make them accessible to law enforcement.) GEDMatch and FamilyTreeDNA have not always been transparent with users that the DNA profiles might be scrutinized by the police. In 2019, under public pressure, GEDMatch abruptly changed its access policy, requiring users to explicitly “opt in” to law enforcement searches. Overnight, investigators lost a raft of promising leads. That policy was in effect when Mr. Lord uploaded Charlene’s DNA profile to the site, in May of 2020. The only matches were to distant cousins, which Ms. Goddard and Mx. Chan dutifully worked through for more than seven months. (To protect the privacy of the victim’s family, investigators have not disclosed the precise familial relationships discovered during the search.) “We were all well in the throes of the Covid pandemic, and so I was spending a lot of time at home,” Ms. Goddard said. “And I remember feeling like I had spent countless hours, but wasn’t a whole lot closer, after all that time, than we had been after the first week or two.” She caught a break in January, when GEDMatch changed its terms of service again, allowing its entire database to be used for forensic searches related to unidentified remains. Mx. Chan called Ms. Goddard with some good news: Charlene now had multiple close matches at the top of her list. True names It didn’t take long to deduce Charlene’s real name: Jenifer Noreen Denton. In 1988, when Ms. Denton was 24, she suddenly went missing from her Illinois home, leaving behind her belongings and a 1-year-old daughter. In February, Ms. Goddard talked to Ms. Denton’s daughter, now grown, for the first time. “I just felt extremely emotional about it,” Ms. Goddard recalled. Over her months of research, she had often imagined what it must have been like for Charlene’s family. “There were people out there who surely loved her and were missing her and were probably desperate for answers.” (Ms. Denton’s family declined, through an intermediary, to be interviewed.) Ms. Denton’s daughter agreed to a DNA test for confirmation. It came back as a strong match with Charlene Doe. “That’s when I felt comfortable breathing again,” Mr. McCord said. He is now bullish about the technology’s potential to solve thousands of other cases, especially his own. In February, Brad Doe’s DNA was sequenced by HudsonAlpha, and on April 2, Mr. Lord uploaded it to GEDMatch. At the top of the list of matches were several close relatives. Three weeks later, and nearly 38 years after the boy’s murder, the team announced Brad’s real identity: John Ingram Brandenburg Jr., a 19-year-old from Chicago who went to a friend’s house one day and never returned. In 1983, after being tipped off by mushroom hunters, police found his remains with those of Adam Doe and two other boys near an abandoned barn off U.S. Route 41 in Newton County. All were victims of Mr. Eyler, also known as the Highway Killer, who murdered at least 21 young men and died in prison in 1994. Mr. McCord said that the teenager’s mother was distraught to learn how he had died. “She woke up every morning for the past 37 years wondering, ‘Is Johnny going to come home today?’” he said. “We hit her kind of hard.” (The family declined, through an intermediary, to be interviewed.) The Newton County team is now focused on solving their last case, of Adam Doe. His long-stored genetic sample was sequenced at HudsonAlpha and uploaded to GEDMatch, but was not robust enough to return any good matches. The team is planning to enlist a lab specializing in ancient organisms to extract a new sample of DNA from the bones. And although Charlene now has a real name, her 1988 murder case remains open. Her remains had been discovered with those of a man who was identified a year later by police. “There were some leads back in the day,” Mr. McCord said. “Now they can go back and hopefully confirm some of those leads, and we can get this resolved fairly quick.” The coroner, who organized Ms. Denton and Mr. Brandenburg’s first funerals, now plans to attend their final memorial services. Mr. Brandenburg’s will be held this month. “That was a specific request from his mother, that I be there, because she said I’ve known Johnny almost as long as she has,” Mr. McCord said. “When she said that, it literally brought me to tears.” Source link Orbem News #cases #cold #County #Crash #DNA #Small #solve

    ATTENTION: If You ever wondered about “Storage Auctions” and are looking to make great money in this struggling economy we may have the solution for you in the most important letter you’ll read all day. . .

Storage Auctions revealed in this new tell-all about tactic winning auction tips and you’ll get them all here – & win every time . . . Even if You Never Went to an Auction Before

Date: From: Lorenzo Lee

I f you are headed out the door to your boring job or off to the unemployment line… STOP – if for just a moment, and read what I have to tell you about storage auctions and how they transform lives all over the country.

You are going to fit into a category of the following people: retirees, those about to retire, unemployed, employed but bored, underpaid or looking for something where you can work from the comfort of your own home. Why wouldn’t you want to manage your home, be able play with your kids and not worry about how much gong out to eat costs for the family?

If you’ve just lost your job and you were standing in an unemployment line wondering how you are going to take care of your family; you’re stumped, clueless and at your wits end… What can you do in this economy? Even if you can find a job, you’ll be lucky if it pays half what you were making.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was in those same dire straits. Dodging calls from bill collectors and even hiding my car around the block so it wouldn’t get repossessed. But Mom always told me, “When one door closes, another opens.”

I never understood what she meant, until now. You see, even in this bad economy with millions and millions of people out of work or stuck in jobs they can’t stand and don’t pay enough to live on, there are still opportunities being created every day. Big Opportunities. REALLY BIG OPPORTUNITIES!

It was just a little while ago that one of those Big Opportunities came knocking at my door. And now it’s knocking on yours. What I am about to show you is not MLM or some get rich quick scheme. You will have to work at it, but with simple instruction and our Secret Weapons you’ll be able to get your slice of the money pie. Best of all you will once again have a reliable, stable income month in and month out.

I know you are thinking you will need a special skill or a specialized degree. All I have is a high school diploma, but you don’t even need that! And you won’t have to borrow a bunch of money to get started either!

This business is based on a very simple formula that has made millions of people rich for thousands of years.

It’s a very simple concept; you’ve probably even heard it before. It’s just four little words…

BUY LOW, SELL HIGH!

STOP! This is not some bs stock market or investment scheme. They require far more risk than I would be comfortable with, especially in this economy. They also require very specialized skills and knowledge. Not to mention a LOT of money to get started. Nope, this is different. Completely different.

Imagine a business where:

You don’t need CREDIT!

You don’t need a lot of money up front to get started.

You don’t need a college degree, special certifications or specialized knowledge.

You don’t have to take a lot of risks.

You don’t need an office, any employees or special equipment.

As the economy gets worse, your prospects get better!

You can start with less than a hundred bucks.

You don’t need a college degree, just a tiny bit of instruction and our Secret Weapons.

You set your own schedule and sell your merchandise from your own kitchen table or out of your garage.

You can do this ANYWHERE, because there are 30,000+ storage facilities all over the United States and Canada (We will even give you access to this list!)

You can be young, old, retired, in-between work, guys or girls and make good money, lots of it! ANYONE CAN DO THIS!

Imagine going to a storage auction, winning the auction with $50 and finding $2500 worth of merchandise for you to sell. You don’t have to just imagine it, you can do it! With our easy training course and Secret Weapons you’ll know exactly when, where and how to turn a unit into a great income as often as you want! This happens every day across all 50 states and Canada. In fact, it is not unusual for a self storage auction unit to be won with a single dollar, but inside the unit are things you could sell for several thousand dollars.

What kinds of items can you find in a Self Storage Auction?

Frankly, just about anything! For Example:

Cars (vintage cars, 4x4s, sports cars, motorcycles and RVs too!)

Boats (fishing boats, jet skis, watercraft of all kinds)

Tools (professional and typical homeowners stuff)

Specialized Business Equipment (from gyms, salons, restaurants, construction, etc.)

Collectibles (Toys, Books, Coins, Cards, Antiques)

Hollywood Memorabilia … items found in storage auctions:

Nicholas Cage’s Stolen $1Million Comic book

Madonna’s personal photos and signed work

Paris Hilton’s personal journals, videos and photos . . . more Hollywood treasures are found everyday!

Could you imagine stumbling onto the motherload of all Hollywood memorabilia or even one prop once used in a movie? What could you do with that kind of money?

With all of the possible valuables available at a self storage unit auction, it’s possible to replace a full time income from only a few hours work each week!

But don’t take my word for it. There are popular TV shows on major networks devoted to Self Storage Auctions. Keep in mind these shows are entertaining but they also show what can happen to someone who knows what they are doing in the storage auction business.

Inside the Best Self Storage Auction Course you will learn:

How to spot a great self storage unit auction quickly. (pg 28)

Doing these few things wrong can can land you in court! (pg 112)

How to bid on a unit and make others back off! (pg 65)

A simple, legal tool to save $$$$ on your taxes (pg 46)

What you MUST know BY LAW… BEFORE you bid! (pg 104)

The difference between a bad locker and an early Christmas (pg 84)

How to go to a storage auction fully prepared, unlike the other bidders. (pg 76)

How to avoid getting stuck with a unit full of junk you can’t sell or worse, have to pay big bucks to dispose! (pg 44)

How to reduce competition and lower your winning bid! (pg 127)

How to sell your items quick & get CASH in your hand right after the auction! (pg 81)

Why am I willing to share these secrets with you?

First, since I was a little boy I was taught “what goes around, comes around” and “if you help others, someone will be there to help you” and of course “Do unto others…” It’s kind of ingrained in me to share.

Second, I know what it feels like to be one step away from living in my minivan. Collections, bankruptcy, eating PB&J (without any PB… or J!). I’ve heard my family telling me, “You’ve got to get a job!” “You need to make some money!”, or my favorite, “You need to make more money”… only there weren’t any jobs for 50 year olds without a college degree, even if you did have 25 years experience in construction.

But then this opportunity came along for me as it is for you now. You don’t need a lot of money to make money. You can start this with less than $100. And truth be told, you really don’t have to work all that hard either.

Let’s imagine that you’ve completed the course and located an auction. You’ve got $150 in cash, you’re a little nervous, but that’s ok because it means you’re ready to go since you know that you’ve completed the course and you know exactly what you want to do as soon as you step foot on the lot.

The Auctioneer comes out of the office and leads you and 4 others to unit G167. Sure, the others are there for the same reason as you, but they haven’t been through the course, they don’t have the knowledge you gained from the handouts… but you have. You’re here because you know which auctions to go to and which ones aren’t worth the trouble.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the unit you notice the others getting excited, one lady is even bouncing up and down clapping her hands as everyone begins to see the unit is stuffed to the brim with computer monitors and other electronic gear. You allow yourself a wry smile, you learned on page 35 of the course that many times storage units are used as “dumps” for broken, worthless electronic equipment to avoid paying the high disposal fees… fees that the “winner” of this units auction may have to pay. In the time it takes you to finish this thought the currently happy lady has “won” the auction for $250.

Secret: If you can get the other bidders to spend all their money on crappy units, you can walk away with a fantastic unit for little to no money as they run out of funds.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the next unit you notice the others pointing at the boxes, card tables and mattresses piled up with garbage bags. Unlike the last unit they seem to grumble a bit, but you see a sliver of wood you know to be a china cabinet peeking out from behind the mattresses. Lots of fine woodwork in what little you can see. It might even be an antique…

You get startled a bit as the Auctioneer breaks the silence with “The bidding opens at $25.” No one moves, and the auctioneer calls out again, only this time he lowers the opening bid for fear of not selling the unit today. “Lets get the bids going, who’ll give me $10?” he cries…

…after a short moment you give a wave of your hand at the Auctioneer. He’s a good Auctioneer and soon you’re bidding against a “happy lady”. You know from the course that doing this one thing will make her back down… She does, and before you know it you hear “$50 going once, $50 going twice, Sold to bidder #67.” $50… to bidder #67… holy crap that’s you!

Your heart is racing but you manage to keep it together long enough to pay the Auctioneer and lock your unit. Finally the auction is over and you go back to the unit you purchased.

That china cabinet might be worth $200, maybe more. But first you’re going to have to go through everything else to get a better look at it. It’s mostly old clothes and the usual “kitchen items” but one of the boxes is quite heavy and has some collectable memorabilia from an old TV show and another some baseball cards from the 1970’s. You’re feeling pretty good, it looks like you might be able to at least double your cash from just what you’ve found so far!

Finally you can move those mattresses…

You find yourself having to lean against the side of the unit for fear of falling down.

The China Cabinet is gorgeous. Worth at least $700 and based on the glass style it does look antique so it could be a lot more. But that’s not why you’re having trouble standing. You see, it’s full to the brim, with Depression Glass. You’ve seen a single piece of Depression Glass sell for $25 and there must be 50 or 60 pieces in this China Cabinet!

Luckily for you, our BSA Auction checklist has you totally prepared for this…

Following the few simple rules of the course, and the “members only” checklist, your grin got even bigger as your favorite antique dealer handed you $500 before he took the China Cabinet away. All packed up, you hurry home with everything you’ve found. After an evening of research (using some of our special tips and bonus material on valuation) you’ve learned that the cards and TV show stuff are worth an easy $400…

But the reason your wife is whistling as she is preparing for a night on the town, the first time in months… is because the antique dealer also handed you $1400 for all that Depression Glass!

This is not just a fantasy. Finds like this happen almost every day all over the USA. It’s happened to me, it can happen to you. All that is left for you to decide is will it be a fantasy for you or will you take the necessary action to make it your reality?

I know that times are tough right now. Spending anything is a major decision. But I am going to eliminate all of the risk for you.

The best of: TRD editors share their picks for the top stories of 2018

The Real Deal’s top stories of 2018

The Real Deal’s coverage reached all corners of the real estate industry in 2018.

From the Opportunity Zones craze and residential brokerage’s existential crisis, to a developer who’s become the poster boy for gentrification in Chicago and even the mid-term elections, TRD reporters and editors didn’t skip a beat.

Here’s a look at some of the top stories we reported in 2018, as selected by TRD’s team of editors.

Stuart Elliott, Editor-in-chief | Kushner unfiltered, Rough cut

The Real Deal’s reporters and editors kept quite busy in 2018. Each month we produced in the ballpark of 1,000 online posts and 200 magazine pages across our four cities. Amidst that mountain of copy, there was a lot that stood out when it came to finger-on-pulse, follow-the-money financial journalism. It’s hard to choose, but I will say this: “Rough Cut,” our investigative piece on how money from the murky global diamond trade has helped shape the New York skyline, was a deep-dive that made me particularly proud with its breadth and scope.

Meanwhile, our no-holds-barred interview with Charlie Kushner was our most read piece of the year. And for good reason – nobody else had gotten that kind of access to Kushner, at a time when his son Jared in the White House and his 666 Fifth Avenue property were the subject of intense scrutiny. The interview starts with Kushner posing a fairly direct question to Will Parker and Konrad Putzier, and gets more confrontational from there.

Jill Noonan, Senior content director | The death of the brokerage

Picking a favorite is never easy, but our May magazine cover story headlined “The death of the brokerage” was definitely toward the top of my 2018 list. Not only did senior reporter E.B. Solomont do a superb job in reporting it, but she also managed to capture a hugely important moment in time for New York City’s residential brokerage community. The story, which was largely pegged to the collapse of Town Residential, detailed the perfect storm of financial challenges that have intensified for residential brokerages in the last year or two. And while these firms are still collectively transacting billions of dollars a year in business, the challenges laid out in the piece — from new technology pressures to competition from venture-backed firms to difficulties in retaining top agents — are clearly not going away anytime soon. We’ll have to stay tuned to see how it turns out in 2019 and beyond!

Damian Ghigliotty, Managing issue editor | When the glass ceiling won’t break

“When the glass ceiling won’t break” remains a very important and timely story that follows our January 2017 cover story “Real estate’s diversity problem.” Everything about this feature highlights The Real Deal’s ability to raise the bar when it comes to in-depth industry coverage. Kathryn Brenzel’s reporting for this story was incredibly detailed and uncompromising, and the collaborative effort among her, the research team and the magazine editors made the final outcome that much more impactful. We looked at gender diversity (and the lack thereof) at dozens of real estate firms, spoke to dozens of people about what has and hasn’t changed in recent years, and our photo shoot brought several industry executives from different sectors to our New York office on the same day — which was a feat unto itself.

James Kleimann, Managing web editor | The agent luxury rental landlords can’t live without

When Brookfield’s amenity-filled luxury rental tower the Eugene opened for leasing, many of us couldn’t fathom why any New Yorker would pay upwards of $10,000 a month to live above the Lincoln Tunnel. Reporters Will Parker and Konrad Putzier started with the obvious question: How did the hundreds of renters find their way to the windy, badlands of Manhattan? And who were they? Parker and Putzier struck up a few conversations with people at the building, who were all too happy to share how the tale: a Flushing-based broker we had never heard of was filling the Eugene and other pricey rental towers from JDS, Extell, Durst, etc. with hundreds — maybe thousands — of “fuerdai,” Chinese students who receive $50,000 monthly allowances from their loaded parents. It’s a fantastic real estate story, and it’s my favorite TRD yarn of 2018! There are colorful anecdotes (one student at the Eugene had $1 million in cash stuffed inside his piano), insights into how agent Sunanne Zhu finds clients (a 5,000-member WeChat group), and a thorough breakdown of what it means for these developers (considering the state of the luxury market, it’s a gift from the heavens; but because rich students chase concessions and the latest amenities each year, things can quickly turn south). Give it a read if you haven’t yet!

Danielle Balbi, Deputy web editor | The anatomy of construction corruption

It’s the $45.3 billion backbone of New York’s real estate world: the construction industry. And in “The anatomy of construction corruption,” reporter Kathryn Brenzel illustrated how, for decades, graft has creeped its way through a network of middle men — from dry wall installers to building suppliers — into developers’ bottom lines. The story serves as a perfect primer to what makes construction sites so vulnerable to scandals like overbilling schemes and bribery, which have become so commonplace that firms just see this as the cost of doing business. And Brenzel’s reporting brings to light an industry-wide inertia that allows such corruption to continually flourish.

Will Parker, Special projects editor | At star-studded 443 Greenwich, condos are smaller than advertised

For New Yorkers of ordinary means, slick brokers with a penchant for embellishment are not an occasional misfortune, but an expectation. And even for the wealthy in this city there is no magic line of privilege whereafter it is no longer normal. Senior reporter E.B. Solomont wrote this year about how Manhattan condominium buyers are consistently forking out seven- and eight-figure sums for luxury homes that are much smaller than advertised, in some cases up to 20 percent smaller than the stated square footage. Nowhere is this trend more evident than at 443 Greenwich Street, a West Village conversion that has been successfully marketed as a must-own for celebrities, including actors Meg Ryan and Jennifer Lawrence.

Brokers maintain that a square footage fib of up to 10 percent is “not-material” and insist that what is square footage and what is not is largely subjective (state regulators, meanwhile, allow developers to measure it however they want, including the use of non-usable space). Over the last two decades, buyers have fought back by suing, and some brokers, in turn, have adjusted to that reality, but mostly just by ceasing to advertise square footage at all in order to avoid getting sued.

More recently, a group of residential agents has assembled to get serious about standardizing square footage in the industry, so that numbers match reality. “Tape measures exist for a reason,” broker Leonard Steinberg told Solomont. “We didn’t build buildings with spandex. There’s a gross square footage to every structure in New York City and they can be measured — and they should be.”

Hiten Samtani, Editor-at-large | Rough cut

Origin stories always make for juicy reads, and this one dug (no pun intended) into the gemstone-filled past of some of New York’s most important developers. In an exhaustively reported narrative that took the reader from Sierra Leone to Antwerp and to the corridors of money and power in Manhattan, Konrad Putzier was able to detail the nexus between the diamond and real estate industries, and even explain how the two professions are so similar. There are rich anecdotes throughout, but the piece is also anchored by original research on the extent that former diamond traders have shaped the city’s skyline.

My favorite bit from the story shows the similarity between the trades: The diamond game is all about acquisition of the rough, the financing of the purchase, deciding how to cut the diamond, and then refining and marketing it to achieve maximum value. Sound familiar?

“In the mind,” said Yitzchak Tessler, a former diamond trader and now condo developer, “it’s not such a big jump.”

Heidi Patalano, Special issues editor | The indestructible tenant

As the special issues editor, I treasure the work I get to do with staffers in LA and Miami on their print editions. But this year, one of the pieces I was most fascinated by was written our frequent freelancer C.J. Hughes, who covered the proliferation of dollar stores for our retail issue. Discounters like Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Five Below are increasingly referred to as “teflon tenants” and its easy to see why, since they can compete with Amazon on pricing for basic household items. One broker said dollar stores were ��e-commerce immune.” We’ve all heard so much about the need for “experiential tenants” in retail spaces, but I found the tale of this thriving segment of traditional retail to be a telling example of Darwinian survival.

Alexi Friedman, National editor | Will real estate developers seize on ‘Opportunity Zones’ tax incentive?

I’ve got two words for you: Opportunity Zones. Everyone is talking about the federal program that provides tax incentives for investors to focus developments in distressed areas. It’s the real estate industry’s newest, shiniest toy. Even Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci wants in. But not many knew about it in early summer — including this editor — when Keith Larsen laid out its possibilities and perils. His story, “Will real estate developers seize on ‘Opportunity Zones’ tax incentive?” homed in on Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a designated zone ripe for redevelopment. Other TRD reporters have followed with excellent stories of their own in all four of our markets, including Erin Hudson’s video primer: “Everything you always wanted to know about Opportunity Zones.” But the questions Keith’s reporting raised: will investors pour money into Opportunity Zone areas apart from existing projects, why are some upscale neighborhoods in designated zones, and will the program benefit the region or just be a gift to wealthy developers, continue to be debated today.

Brian Baxter, Tri-state editor | Search and destroy: How CoStar became a $15B juggernaut

When presented with the opportunity to join the editorial team at The Real Deal in late 2018, I set about doing my due diligence on the place. The bylines of a handful of reporters, some on different continents, for the magazine’s October cover story examining the CoStar Group’s rapid rise demonstrated to me that TRD is committed to insightful coverage that informs its audience by peeling back the layers on a sometimes opaque market. The incredible amount of hard work that goes into such a feature story — from reporters, researchers, editors, designers and countless others — is not something to take lightly in today’s media world, where in-depth projects at the daily and monthly level can often fall by the wayside amid the ever-present competition for clicks and readers. That’s not the case at TRD, and as a relative newbie to the real estate beat, I hope to uphold that standard.

Ina Cordle, South Florida managing editor | Florida governor’s race: DeSantis defeats Gillum

It was a night to remember: In one of the most closely watched races in the country, former Rep. Ron DeSantis won the tight race for governor of Florida, defeating Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. Katherine Kallergis and I were each watching the election results during the night. Katherine had written profiles of the candidates for our magazine, including on deep-pocketed real estate investors Jeff Greene and Philip Levine, and had pulled together all the campaign contributions from the real estate industry. When Gillum conceded and gave an emotional speech about 11 p.m., we knew it was time to post the election results. As DeSantis’ gave his victory speech, Katherine quickly finished writing the story, and I edited it. It posted at 11:44 p.m.

Katherine Kallergis, South Florida associate web editor | Rough Cut

I don’t think I can pick just one (“When the glass ceiling won’t break,” “Kushner unfiltered,” and “The death of the brokerage” are a few of my top TRD reads this year), but senior reporter Konrad Putzier’s magazine story on how the diamond trade has influenced New York City’s real estate market was one of my favorites. It’s an in-depth look at the parallels between both industries and a number of developers “previous lives,” which are often forgotten about or hidden but end up explaining so much. The story, which includes money laundering, cartels, secret backers, had all the elements of a great TRD feature with strong research and historical context.

John O’Brien, Chicago managing editor | As developers cash in on Logan Square, one property owner has become the face of gentrification

TRD’s first year in Chicago has been filled with a number of memorable stories for me and the staff here, everything from serious politics (Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s real estate legacy as he heads for the exit) to just plain fun (a swimsuit calendar featuring male resi brokers, Michael Jordan’s mansion sale airball). But the most memorable for me was Alex Nitkin’s look at developer Mark Fishman, who has grown to become the face of gentrification in the Logan Square neighborhood. Fishman owns a number of properties in the area, where rents and home prices alike have been growing significantly. Many outlets have written about him and his properties and the protests surrounding them, but no one sought to go beyond the vilification of Fishman until Alex did. What he found was other developers and investors who’ve raised rents as much or more than Fishman. I talked to a number of respected journalists here about the story, and they all said it was the first truly fair portrayal of Fishman and what’s happening in Logan Square. That fairness and journalistic integrity are among the qualities we hope to keep bringing to Chicago in our second year here.

Alexei Barrionuevo, Los Angeles managing editor | Who is Tejon Ranch? A NY-backed firm plots massive communities in California

Natalie Hoberman dug into the backers and backstory of Tejon Ranch, the company trying to develop massive master planned communities about 60 minutes outside of Los Angeles. The developments — one of which the county board of supervisors has approved since Natalie’s story — could shape an otherwise untouched slice of California. The two-decade struggle to get them approved has come to symbolize the tension between the need to alleviate L.A.’s housing shortage and the fears over creating new urban sprawl.

Natalie detailed how Tejon Ranch is backed by Wall Street money, including a scion of the Tisch Family. And she traced the fascinating history of the company back to the Chandler family and the end of the Mexican-American War, when California’s first Superintendent of Indian Affairs established a military outpost meant to supervise the Indian tribes on the land.

It’s worth checking out. It’s an example of the kind of story-behind-the story that we plan to do more of in 2019.

China’s 200 Million Singles Are a Big Business

By Katrin Kuntz, Der Spiegel, Aug. 3, 2018

Many people in China who want to get married are having trouble finding a partner. The country’s decadeslong one-child policy led to the country having more young men than women, and their growing prosperity is making them pickier.

The fate of eight young men will be decided today inside a cool, neon-lit shopping center in Hangzhou, its façade emblazoned with a sign for “Intimate City.”

On their first day of the course, the men fan out in different directions, wearing ironed shirts and gelled hair. Some hook their thumbs into the loops of their jeans, strutting around like peacocks as they try to impress women. Dr. Love, their coach at the seminar on flirting, taught them how.

One of the men is Liu Yuqiang, who works at a Chinese supermarket. He wanders the shiny corridors, wearing wiry glasses, a jacket and polished shoes, all intended to hide the fact that he comes from a village of only 80 families. A man from a rural area would be out of the question as husband material for China’s attractive urban women, that much Liu knows. Besides, he’s 27, fairly old to be single here.

Liu puts one foot in front of the other and moves shyly. He gazes at young women with shopping bags. They seem to intimidate him. Dr. Love is trying to get him to talk to them, to “go hunting,” as they call the exercise here at the Feel Love Flirt Academy.

China is home to around 200 million singles. As a result of the government’s decades long one-child per family policy and a preference for boys, an imbalance of the sexes has developed. For every 114 men in China, there are 100 women; overall, there are 30 million more men than women. And no Chinese person wants to end up at the end of the line in the family tree. Those who remain unmarried die a quick social death in the country.

At Intimate City in Hangzhou, Dr. Love, 26, teaches his students how to hunt for their prey. “Walk sideways toward the women,” he whispers, looking sternly at Liu. “Think of the safe distance of 5 feet. Pretend you have an appointment, but say you find her enchanting. Take down her phone number, and keep moving.”

“I got it,” says Liu. You can see the fear and admiration in his eyes.

“Just let her be nice,” Liu whispers before jaunting past the stores. He walks and walks without talking to a single woman. Ten minutes pass. “Hello,” he whispers to one. She carries on without noticing.

Dr. Love quietly observes him. Three times he gives him a gentle nudge toward giggling Chinese women. But every time, Liu acts as though he has tripped. He just can’t do it.

Love has become a complicated matter in China. The country’s economic boom is estranging people from one another, tearing them out from their villages and small towns. For centuries, parents paired their children with partners who had the same socio-economic background. But the boom has dramatically changed the love lives of the Chinese, and the country is developing faster than many people can cope with. The combination of freedom of choice and social pressure has become overwhelming for many. Thousands of flirt trainers, marriage brokers and love gurus are now employed in China’s quest for happiness.

Baihe, the largest online platform for people looking for someone to marry, has over 300 million members and 3,000 would-be matchmaker employees. Baihe’s psychologists fly around the country to hold the hands of crisis-stricken singles; its love experts deliver bouquets of flowers to the beloved, and they sneak around, prying like detectives on people suspected of cheating. They review the solvency of marriage candidates and arrange loans for men who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford a home. China’s matchmaking businesses have revenues of several hundred million dollars a year. So, why are millions of singles having such trouble finding a match?

The lesson on “Talking to Women” is ending at Intimate City in Hangzhou. One of the eight course participants has succeeded in getting a vague agreement for a date for that evening, but the others are going away empty-handed. “You’ve got work to do,” Dr. Love says in a serious tone before releasing his students.

An hour later, Liu leans against the wall in a café and takes hasty sips of water from his thermos flask. His parents are pressuring him. When he recently visited them in the countryside, he kept taking bites of pork just to avoid their questions. “They’ve worked hard,” says Liu. “Now, I have to make them happy.” And it would be a shame not to respect their wishes. Liu is, after all, their only child.

His fate was determined in 1979, long before he was even born. At the time, China’s Communist Party began its one-child policy, a radical experiment that lasted 35 years. Until the 1960s, Mao Zedong had encouraged his citizens to have as many children as possible. But then reformer Deng Xiaoping announced that China’s rise could only succeed with fewer births. Women were subjected to forced sterilizations and female fetuses were aborted. China’s strategists created a population that will be too male, too old and at some point too small to feed its labor market.

For many men, their preponderance isn’t the only handicap. “If you’re going to be a man, then you certainly don’t want to come from Jiangxi,” says Liu. The fact that he comes from this relatively poor provincial region in the southeast significantly diminishes his prospects for finding a match. The origin of a potential husband is extremely important for well-educated Chinese women, who value prestige and status: things like an apartment and a car. China is a country of ascension, and nobody wants to be seen as sliding backward.

This makes life especially difficult for millions of unmarried migrant workers. They’re separated from love by “three high towering mountains,” says Liu: a lack of money, time and connections.

Liu’s parents also migrated around the country. And like many other children, he grew up with his grandmother. When his grandfather came home, his grandmother would put rice on the table, but she never showed her husband physical affection. “People who survived China’s Great Famine have little time for romance,” Liu says, adding that he never had any role models when it came to loving relationships.

He also didn’t have any girlfriends as a student. Teachers and parents discouraged teenage flirtation--they didn’t want anything to distract their expensive only child from learning. And so it was that Liu slipped into the marriage market with a typical Chinese inexperience with love and relationships. He should have long since been married by now, but instead he has no experience with women at all.

After school, Liu migrated to the city like millions of others. Increasing numbers of brides from North Korea or Cambodia began arriving in the typical “bachelor village” in the provinces they left behind. Parents are seeking foreign women for their sons out of sheer desperation. United Nations workers note that there has also been an increase in human trafficking in China’s rural areas.

Liu moved into a tiny apartment in the city. He sells instant noodles for a supermarket and is on the prowl for a wife on the side. He has seven dating apps on his mobile phone, including Tantan, China’s answer to Tinder. His profile photo shows him doing archery, even though he has no clue about the sport.

He doesn’t seem to know that even the rich struggle with love. Indeed, there are men in China who invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in their search for a bride. They also suffer as a result of their status, striving for perfection that matches their wealth.

The elite agency Diamond Love has its headquarters about 200 kilometers from Liu, in Shanghai, China’s shining business metropolis. It has 5 million members, with the especially well-to-do paying up to $15,000 a month for “custom services” promising them the wife of their dreams. Two hundred consultants and 200 full-time matchmakers are at the disposal of the top tier at six locations across the country.

“We need four women between 5 foot 4 inches and 5 foot 6 inches, a degree from a top university, very white skin, extravagant,” Ren Xuemei says to two employees scouting for women for her on the streets.

Ren is a professional matchmaker. The elegant 42-year-old woman, with a canary yellow blazer and shiny hair, studied psychology. She knows the romantic problems of the upper class like few others.

“Our customers have lost their compass with China’s rise,” Ren says, speaking in a Starbucks café in Shanghai. “They think they’re running the world.” She opens her MacBook and shows the questionnaire clients must fill out before the agency commences its matchmaking services for them.

For women, the questionnaire distinguishes between “hardware” and “software,” between appearance and character. Ren says the trend is toward “very white skin with soft texture,” “a fine, oval face and a degree from a top Chinese university.” A woman, she says, should be under 30, “warm and hardworking.” She says most people want “as little past relationship experience as possible.” Ren smiles. “In other words, she should be a virgin.”

Ren’s trickiest case is a 47-year-old man she calls “Mr. Rich.” He paid 1 million yuan, the equivalent of almost 130,000 euros, to find the right match. On the phone, he asks excitedly when there will be “fresh resources.” He thought all 50 of the women Ren matched him with were boring. “You’re sending me the wrong ones!” he would say after each dinner she organized for him at the Ritz-Carlton.

Mr. Rich is one of the Fuyidai, as the first generation of wealthy Chinese are called. He comes from a modest background, and he began investing overseas. It’s impossible to speak with Mr. Rich, but if one spends time with his agent for several days, a certain worldview emerges. “China’s elite are used to always being the boss,” says Ren. “Their expectations are immeasurable.”

Mr. Rich, she says furtively, isn’t particularly good looking. She says he’s skinny and smokes too much. Still, she says, he believes he deserves the most beautiful wife, and he has signed a yearlong contract with Diamond Love, through which he is entitled to meet five women per month. She says he treats her matches like luxury cars with unsightly rust marks.

Ren is an extremely polite woman, but her clients’ behavior can be so extreme that her anecdotes about them can be free-flowing. One client looked at 3,000 women in the agency’s database and rejected them if an eyebrow was too high. Another complained about every skin imperfection. The Fu’erdai, the children of the nouveau riche, she says, are demanding. “We failed in our attempt to pair up a couple because neither of them wanted to compromise about the location of the date,” says Ren.

She says the one-child policy was a catastrophe that has led to the rise of impossible-to-please narcissists.

Diamond Love’s matchmakers drive their red Minis around in nine cities, scouting universities, academies and luxury boutiques for women who stand out in the crowd. Once, they organized the “Oriental Lady” contest in which hundreds of women took part and did singing and dancing performances. They didn’t know the contest’s head juror was himself a client looking for a wife.

While Ren waits for results at Starbucks, love scouts run after attractive passersby in the shopping quarter. One, wearing skinny jeans and a bomber jacket, stops. “Hey gorgeous, are you single?” the scout asks. “We organize events through the agency for you.” She unsuspectingly passes along her information, having no idea that she might soon be drinking tea with Mr. Rich.

The “resources,” as Ren calls the women, don’t immediately need to know that Diamond Love is screening them as potential wives. “Mr. Rich would like a young wife, who isn’t overly successful,” says Ren. “But after the first meetings, he complained they weren’t mature enough.” When the agent sat down with him again, she remembers how he said to her, “I would like you.” She answered: “I have 12 years more life experience than the woman you chose, and I’m married.”

Since then, Ren has smuggled in a few older “B-women” among the twenty-something “A-women” who fit Mr. Rich’s criteria. She says it was a “battle” for him to recognize it. She calls it “re-education.” After six months with Mr. Rich, she says, she has had one success. “He has raised the age limit.” His future bride, she explains, can now be up to 32 years old--up from 30.

They have less glamorous problems at the school of flirting in Hangzhou, where Liu is sitting at a table with five other men, his hands holding a glass of tea. All the students come from poorer rural areas. They work in restaurants or in construction.

Dr. Love straightens his Indian necklace. “What’s wrong with you guys?” he asks.

“I don’t know which subject I should choose when I talk to a woman,” says one. Another responds: “As soon as I ask for a meeting on a dating app, the women block me.” Liu says, “When I meet a woman, I get so nervous that none want to see me again.”

“You need to talk on their level,” says the trainer. “The women, after all, aren’t meant to be marrying you for your wealth.”

A person’s social status in China is determined by the authorities. The so-called Hukou system of household registration, splits all people into two categories: rural or urban. The place where a Chinese person is registered determines their access to doctors, schools--and also to urban, middle-class women. No date takes place in China without someone politely asking about the other person’s Hukou status. Someone who moves to the city can, with some luck, attain the same privileges as the people who were born there. A yearslong rural Hukou, however, is like a scarlet letter. At the flirt school, the men are taught how to compensate for their origins through charm.

The syllabus for the course also includes a “one-on-one critique of chatting.” Liu is interested in a colleague. But every time he would like to make a move, she leaves the chat.

Dr. Liu connects Liu’s mobile phone to a projector, which he uses to read Liu’s chronology of failure out loud. Sometimes Liu starts a conversation about their company in the middle of the night. Then he wants to play “truth or dare.” He copies a sentence from a dating advice text: “I have something secret to tell you,” without any follow up. Dr. Love shakes his head.

Late in the evening, when the course has ended, Liu steps out into the night. His mind is running in circles. How could he forget how a woman once described him as a “triple zero” and said that a relationship with him would only result in a “naked wedding”--no celebration, no ring, no financial gifts, no car, no honeymoon. Of course, who would even want that in a China where there are wedding studios everywhere in which you can pose in front of islands, skyscrapers or a home you have allegedly purchased?

The next day, Liu calls his colleague from the chat. A meeting? Suddenly, she doesn’t have any time after all.

The Chinese government long ago recognized that the hordes of frustrated men migrating to the cities are a problem. What is to be done with the prospectless, aging, single men from the country? The party now wants more children and is organizing mass group dates across the country that are attracting hundreds of people. It is launching online dating sites and holding romantic game nights in areas where loneliness is particularly prevalent. Managers at state-owned companies have even taken to arranging dates for their employees without being asked.

It is difficult for women to resist this push for marriage, especially those who aspire to being more than just a wife.

“My parents looked for a husband for me,” says Hui Xue, unable to conceal her embarrassment. She’s at a marriage market in Shanghai where frustrated parents offer up their single children. Hui is 29, very beautiful, an economist. She has studied in London and the United States, and she now jets between Europe and China in the employ of a large company. And yet her chances of finding a husband are, despite the excessive numbers of men, bad. From a Chinese perspective, she is too career-oriented for a woman.

Since dawn, about 500 mothers and fathers have been fighting for the best spots to place their open umbrellas, to which they have pinned their children’s resumes. A female doctor is looking for a partner. A designer wants to get married. A banker is looking for love. Every resume is like a top-level application. Almost all parents are touting daughters in their late twenties. They call these women “Sheng nu” in China, leftover women.

Chinese parents often invest a large part of their money in raising their only child, pampering him or her like a prince or a princess. They’re only happy once their project is crowned with the arrival of the perfect spouse.

Hui says her visit to the wedding market is mostly meant to calm her parents. “My parents are asking about a husband,” she says. Many parents have been coming with their umbrellas for years, without any success. It makes them feel better to confront their children’s fate together.

The state-run women’s organization All-China Women’s Federation has defined “leftover women” as those who remain unmarried and are over the age of 27. In its official view, women need to “fight” starting at the age of 25, and women between the ages of 31 and 35 are considered “high-ranking leftover women.” Beyond the age of 35, a woman might have “a luxury apartment, a car and a company,” but is still “left over.” The government is using these verbal attacks to encourage women to have children.

Hui’s father pushes his daughter to the unremarkable corner where sons are being presented. A doctor gets the family’s attention. The father finds his basic parameters acceptable. Hui’s mother dreamily looks at the umbrellas. “A marriage,” she says, “is a union between two families.”

Three days later, when the marriage market has ended and Hui is once again sitting in her office, she calls the journalist. Now that her parents aren’t listening, she would like to correct something.

“A marriage,” she says, “is a union between two people.”

Unlike Liu from the flirting class or Mr. Rich from the elite agency, she believes that feelings are more important than status. After decades of the one-child policy, she says, as a woman, she can choose. “I can afford to wait,” she says. “I don’t need to feel pushed.”

When I Knew.

Growing up in a rural community, everyone knew everyone's business.  More times than not you knew which parent was having an affair, which neighbor gave birth, which neighbor's daughter had an abortion, or in my estimation and worst of all, which neighbor was known to be gay.  In my case, that neighbor was older, stronger, and well, a bully, and was known to be gay.

Paul, two years older than me and in my mother's words, “a neighborhood menace,” was the neighborhood bully. He had that smarmy grin and eyes too broad to trust, but to me, he was a fearless leader, and if he were gay, that was even more appealing.  Paul would ride his bike up and down the streets looking for his next conquest, similar to a lion roaming the savanna. I remember once when Paul was in the pine trees at Fort #4, a usual spot for genital show and tell or smoking parent's cigarettes, with Raymond and Andy.  As I walked slowly  into the wooded area, I spotted the boys standing close together, and noticed their pants were down around their ankles, with Raymond standing in between Andy and Paul.  My heart raced as I moved closer to where they were standing, but far enough away where they couldn't see or hear me.  I stood silently behind a tree and watched as each one relieved themselves in front of the other.  I was so was disgustingly curious, it was like watching a train wreck and couldn't stop looking. Just as I turned and began to quietly walk away, Andy called my name.  I panicked and sprinted home.  For the next two hours, Paul rode his bike in front of my house, back and forth, stopping briefly to stop and stare.  He was like a caged animal waiting for me to come outside and face him.  That was never going to happen.

Several weeks later, as I was riding my bike with another friend past Paul's house, he came sprinting out of his doorway.  I tried to maneuver the bike in the opposite direction, but to no avail.  Paul grabbed the handle bar of my bike and stopped me in my spot.  He asked me what was wrong.  I nervously told him that nothing was wrong and he began to laugh.  He encouraged me to come over to his house and swim in his pool, but I told him I couldn't, I was expected at home.  Surprisingly, he believed me and told me to come over another time.  

As the summer months went by, Paul became friendlier toward me, but not the others.  One morning he called me on the phone and tried to convince me to meet him at Andy's home while his family was away on vacation.  To sweeten the deal, Paul said that the family is paying him to watch the house and the money was in the daughter's life-size doll house.  I was in!  We arranged to meet there later that morning at the doll house.  I told my mom that I was heading to swim practice, but went to Andy's house instead.  As I walked into the doll house, there was Paul holding what seemed to be hundreds of dollars.  The money was actually single dollar bills and totaled about 25 dollars.  Paul handed me 10 dollars, which seemed like millions at my age, and asked me if I wanted to come over to swim.  I excitedly said yes and so we took the money and left.

When we got to Paul's house, he encouraged me to go into his bedroom to change into my bathing suit, but since I was already wearing my suit, I told him I was all set.  With a stern voice, he told me I needed to go into his room because he father was sleeping.  I entered his bedroom and stood nervously in one place.  Paul began to remove his clothes and moved very slowly.  I thought it was strange that he didn't turn around when removing his underwear, and try as I might to not look, curiosity took over and I looked.  Paul stared at me the entire time he changed and stood naked in front of me for what seemed like an eternity.  I didn't move, couldn't move.  Paul finally put on his bathing suit and we went out to the pool.

While swimming in his pool, we laid on inflatable tires and splashed one another.  His pool had an awesome slide and so we climbed up several times to slide into the water.  On a few occasions, Paul pulled at my bathing suit and flirted with me by poking me in the side.  I was flattered by the attention, but was nervously appreciative.  As we were floating on the tire, Paul told me he wanted to give me a blow job.  Not fully understanding what that meant, but knowing enough to consider it was sexual, I told him I was all set.  He told me that he knew I would like it, but I rebuffed the offer again. Paul grew angry with that news and threw me off the tire.  He then held me underwater and wouldn't let him go.  I began to elbow him in the stomach but it wasn't working, he held him tighter.  I knew I was going to die, and just like that, he let me go.  He asked me again if he could blow me, and I agreed.  Attempting to be coy, I told him that I was only joking when he first asked me to give me a blow job, and told him he was an asshole for holding me underwater.  Paul laughed and asked me if I was scared.  I honestly said, yes.  He smirked.  

Just as we went into his house, I told him I had to go to the bathroom.  Paul told me to make it quick because his dad would be awake soon.  The bathroom was located on the opposite side of Paul's house, past the front door.  As I walked quietly toward the bathroom, I took a sharp left and sprinted out of the door.  I ran as fast as my legs could move back to my house.  Paul came racing up behind me on his bike, yelling at me and telling me he'd kill me.  I got into my house before Paul could catch me and ran directly to my bedroom, slammed the door and burst into tears.  

For the next few days, Paul rode, back and forth in front of my house.  I wouldn't go outside. When my parents asked what was wrong with me, I told them I didn't feel well.  On the third day, I cracked.  While watching TV, my dad asked me to join him in the kitchen.  I walked over to him and he looked at me with his very warm dark eyes with an understanding, but concerned way.  He asked me if I took money from Andy's house during the past week.  I wasn't sure how to answer that question because I would be admitting to so many shameful moments in my life.  I would be answering yes to missing swim team practice, yes to Paul's house, yes to wanting to see Paul's penis, yes to swimming in his pool, yes to admitting to a near drowning death, yes to lieing to Paul about a blow job, yes to almost wanting a blow job, and yes to potentially lieing to my dad about the money.  The rush of anxiety I felt about that initial question almost debilitated me.  My dad asked me again, but this time sternly.  I said that Paul gave me a dollar.  I failed to pluralize the dollar.  My dad asked me why I accepted the money, and I responded that Paul told me he was house sitting and that was his payment for doing so. My dad informed me that Paul was not welcome on their property and that Paul told Andy's family that I was the one who took all of the money.  I burst into tears and said it wasn’t true and that Paul wasn't telling the truth.  My dad hugged me and said that I would need to go with him to Andy's and return the dollar.  

When we arrived at Andy's house, my dad knocked on the door and Andy's dad (a rugged looking concrete worker) opened the door.  He didn't look very happy which made me want to shit my pants.  I offered the dollar bill to him and he barked and demanded the other money.  I told him he would need to ask Paul because I only was given the dollar.  He raised his voice and called me a fucking liar.  I had never heard an adult use that word, and certainly not toward me.  My dad stepped up and told Andy's dad he wasn't going to speak like that to me.  My dad was a 6'2 rugged man, too. He was a former police officer and to me, he was a superhero.  We left Andy's house and walked back to our house.  I've never been so proud to be my dad's son, but I also learned how to lie about a lie to the very people I loved.  The first of thousands to come.

But before I get into all the exciting details, allow me to introduce myself: I’m Doberman Dan…

I’ve been a serial entrepreneur for over 30 years. And a direct response marketer and A-list copywriter for more than two decades. I’ve started businesses and written copy in a whole slew of different markets. Just a few of the countless publications my work has appeared in are…. Entrepreneur… Car & Driver… Investors Business Daily… Penthouse… Popular Mechanics… MuscleMag International… Popular Science… Flex… Success… Muscle & Fitness… Men’s Edge… IronMan… Black Belt Magazine… Muscular Development… Reps! Exercise For Men Only… Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness… Martial Arts Professional Magazine… Small Business Opportunities… Home Business Magazine… The National Enquirer… Weekly World News… And THOUSANDS of high circulation newspapers. As a serial direct response “bootstrap” entrepreneur, I’ve started a plethora of businesses on my kitchen table. With nothing more than a yellow pad, a blue pen and the squishy gray matter between my ears. Many of these “kitchen table businesses” have supported me with a lifestyle that would be envied by the most successful CEOs in the country. Several were created under great financial duress… with nothing but spit, grit and duct tape. I was broke, my back was against the wall and the wolf was at the door. So I was FORCED to run my idea up the flagpole to see how many people would salute it with their wallets. Sure I’ve had my share of failures. That’s par for the course in the life of a serial entrepreneur. But several of these “ready-fire-aim” businesses have gone on to make millions. I’ve sold a couple of my info businesses for big paydays. I’ve also sold three nutritional supplement businesses I started from my kitchen table. That allowed me to enjoy several multi-year stints of “mini retirement.” I’ve also been hired by some of the most successful entrepreneurs and marketers in the country. Most recently, a $1 BILLION a year “800 lb. gorilla” direct marketing company — one the biggest and most successful in the world — hired me to launch their new nutritional supplement business. But believe me… I didn’t have any advantages getting started as an entrepreneur. I’m an average guy who barely made it through Barberton High School in Ohio. I picked the wrong parents so there was no million-dollar trust fund or rich uncle to help fund my entrepreneurial pursuits. In fact, to describe my upbringing as “lower middle class” is being overly generous. Like I said… the ONLY things I had available to start all these businesses were a yellow notepad, blue pen and my somewhat eccentric brain. My first 10 years as an entrepreneur… I Had To “Bootstrap” Every Business I Started… And it was NOT easy. Every single business was started on a shoestring budget. And for the first few years things were extremely lean. Most of the time I was so broke I went out on a limb and financed all my start-up costs on multiple credit cards. I worked around the clock. (Because I had a MORE than full time job as a police officer in Dayton, Ohio.) I sold most of my personal belongings, cancelled my cable TV and drove a 15-year-old “bucket of bolts” car… just so I could invest every possible penny in getting the business going. I even skipped meals so I could invest my grocery money into testing marketing ideas. And like so many other entrepreneurs, I hit my share of roadblocks. (Actually “roadblocks” doesn’t even come close to describing the disasters, disappointments and difficulties I endured.) During the first nine long years of my serial entrepreneurial journey — before I discovered direct response marketing — every single one of my businesses crashed and burned. Leaving me defeated, depressed and in neck-deep in debt. I felt like the biggest loser in the world. That was until I discovered some little known secrets of the “ole skool” mail order/direct marketing masters. I studied that classic marketing material like a 15-year-old boy studies online porn. Then I adapted and applied these secrets to one of my struggling and “on life support” businesses at the time and… It Grew My Sales 1,407% In Only Five Months! It was an amazing time. “Life changing” would be the understatement of the decade. An astonishing “before and after.” BEFORE: I was broke, drowning in debt… and for a while actually homeless and living in my car with my Doberman… skipping meals so I’d have the money to run test ads. AFTER: A mere five months later… I Was Putting 6-Figures A MONTH Into My Pocket! Since then I’ve been on a mission. A mission to share these successful tactics, strategies and secrets for building an online business FAST. You see, growing your business as quickly as possible and making a lot of money are great. But the way most entrepreneurs go about it makes you a slave to your business. Sure, you may make an above average income… but you have no life. Your business is an all-consuming mistress. And you’re not the only one who pays the price. It takes a HUGE toll on your family, too. Instead… what I have to share with you is a unique way of building your business that gives you incredible time and lifestyle freedom.

Because when money doesn’t control you… and you have time freedom… life becomes pretty darn spectacular. First of all, you just plain FEEL better… because you no longer have that always-present weight on your shoulders. The weight you feel from others controlling your life. And the ever-present FEAR you feel… deep in your solar plexus. From lack of money… From your boss always yanking your chain… And being forced to jump when he says “jump.” Because you need the money. When you do what I’m about to show you, you can be… FREE From Your Financial Slavery! Finally… you can do with your life what you could have been doing… and should do now… LIVE it! If you’re already in business but your business isn’t producing the income you desire… …and is growing slower than you want… What I’m about to share with you is the solution for all that. The BEST solution. The FASTEST solution. Because what you’re about to discover is the final piece of the puzzle you’ve been missing. The master key to growing your business (and your income) as fast — and as BIG — as you desire. It’s the most important skillset you can possibly have in business. I’m talking about the ability to get your customers… Spending Money Like Drunken Politicians In A Las Vegas Strip Club! And how do you do that? A couple ways actually. First, by developing the skill of creating perfect “can’t miss” offers that trigger a buying frenzy. Second and equally important… by developing the ability to… Consistently Craft Colossal Converting Copy! Without those two abilities your business will always remain a constant struggle. However… when you DO have those two abilities… you can build your business (and your personal income) as BIG and FAST as you desire. Listen, you’re one smart cookie to want those abilities. Because with those skills… and ONLY those two skills… you can be free from money worries the rest of your life. And, should you choose, you can… Make More Money Than Any Sane Person Ever Needs! I’m not just talkin’ “millionaire next door” rich either. (Although that IS nice.) If you’re willing to work for it… I’m talkin’ Rolls Royce-driving… diamond-encrusted Rolex-wearing… private jet-flying… 155 meter yacht, “cruising-with-a-bevy-of-busty-supermodels” rich. If that’s what you’re into, it can be yours. (I’ve even helped a few entrepreneurs who have done it.) Or maybe you’re like me… less flamboyant and more lifestyle driven. Even though you COULD have all the toys, you prefer a more under-the-radar financial freedom… The freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want… with whomever you want. I know that what I just shared might seem a little over the top. But look, after more than 22 years of in-the-trenches experience honing my chops to become a veritable virtuoso of these valuable and virtuous skills… I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt… Once you discover what I’m about to share with you… Any Life You Imagine Can Be Yours! And that’s exactly what I’m going to show you… with help from online marketer extraordinaire, Terry Dean.

Terry’s one of the very, very few online marketers I trust to give me the straight scoop on what’s working RIGHT NOW in online marketing.

And he should know. He’s a PIONEER in online marketing. Terry has been selling REAL products in REAL consumer markets online (not scammy biz-op crap) since 1996… the Wild West days of the Internet. Also Terry has worked as a coach and consultant to business owners in hundreds of different markets and niches. He and his clients have sold everything from tennis products…to scrapbooking…to weight loss…to chiropractic services…to automobiles…and just about everything in between. He was broke and in debt…stumbling from one dead-end job to another…when he discovered the Internet way back in 1996. He went from delivering pizzas for Little Caesar’s for 8 measly bucks an hour to creating a multi-million-dollar online business. After a couple of years of doing things on his own and under the radar, his brilliance was discovered by the marketing community. Terry was invited to be a keynote speaker at some of the earliest Internet marketing conferences…where he shocked attendees by demonstrating how much money flowed through his shopping cart and into his bank accounts… during the actual conference! He founded one of the first membership sites for online marketers…which read like a Who’s Who of today’s top marketing gurus. He has even been called one of the “grandfathers of internet marketing.” He sold that first business in 2004, eliminated the travel, and took his first 18-month mini-retirement at 30 years old. Terry is not one for the limelight. That’s why he has been privately consulting with a limited number of clients behind the scenes in hundreds of different markets. His waiting list for coaching clients currently has 415 names on it… and any open slots usually sell out in less than an hour. Over the past 11 years he has helped more people create successful online businesses one-on-one than anyone I know. In addition to Terry’s decades of experience inside the inner workings of both his own business and hundreds of others… he has another interesting skill. He’s not just a great DOER of this online marketing thang… he’s a great TEACHER of this stuff. One of the best I know. In fact, that’s one of the biggest reasons we teamed up on this new project. Terry is a master of explaining the “what” of what I do in my copywriting. The stuff I do by pure gut intuition. He’s also able to teach the “why” of why I do what I do. You see, in my more than two decades and 20,000+ hours of writing sales copy and doing the serial entrepreneurial thang… entirely driven by my own sales copy… I’ve internalized an enormous amount of uber valuable lessons. However… many of those lessons are imprinted so deep into my nutty noggin and neural network… it’s as if I’m guided by them without conscious knowledge. In other words, I DO what I do. And I’m damn good at it. But I rarely TEACH what I do. So what Terry has done is pure brilliance. He has studied my “do what I do” copywriting thang… and is able to explain all the reasons for what I subconsciously do to create super successful high converting copy. Copy that sometimes breaks all the rules… yet accomplishes what many experts say is impossible to do with sales copy alone. Heck, many times even I don’t understand why I do what I do. But Terry is able to articulate and teach my super effective (but admittedly eccentric) methods. And more importantly, Terry makes it… Understandable And DOABLE… Even For A Complete Copywriting Rookie! It’s all based on a breakthrough brain & nervous system “hack” discovered by a master jazz musician and educator. And it leads to EXPONENTIALLY accelerated progress in your copywriting skills… and darn near IMMEDIATE higher sales and conversions. Almost every day I have people asking me about how to get good at copywriting. Or how to crank out a moneymaking promotion FAST when the “wolf is at the door”… you need money NOW… but don’t have much (or ANY) experience writing moneymaking copy. The only solutions I’ve been able to offer in the past involved spending months or YEARS writing out successful copy by hand. And paying your dues for years on end. Writing copy, “running it up the flagpole” and watching it bomb 9 times out of 10. It’s a BRUTAL process. (I know. It’s how I learned.) And it’s a process that discourages and blows out lots of potentially great future multi-million dollar copywriters. Until now. After decades of study… often searching in the strangest of places… Terry and I have come up with something better. Actually… Exponentially Better! And… I’ve never seen ANYBODY reveal it. (Probably because very, very few are able to understand the science and psychology behind it.) Terry and I are using some new stuff we’ve discovered about brain and nervous system biology (and a few other tricks up our sleeves) that will let you “upload” our copywriting abilities into your brain… really fast. How fast? You should see a HUGE improvement in only 30 days. However… it gets even better… You can start making money with it even FASTER. If you have a website, email list, snail mail list or followers on social media that have been limping along… and you haven’t been able to monetize those assets… You can start making money — in some cases a significant amount of money — the very DAY you get your hands on this! That’s why Terry and I have teamed up. We want to show you how to create sales copy that resonates so deeply with your prospect’s “buying emotions”… and paints such meticulously detailed and impassioned word pictures in their minds… It Makes Your Offers IRRESISTIBLE! If you’re starting to get excited about this opportunity, that’s great. I hope you ARE excited. But before you get TOO excited I have to tell you this: The reason you’re not enjoying an income and lifestyle like I’ve described in this letter is simple. Actually, there are two reasons: First, if you want to build your business as fast as possible… and make as much money as possible… you have to send out a LOT of offers. And send them frequently. But that’s a problem. Because most business owners wayyy underestimate how many new offers they need… and how frequently they need to promote those offers to their customers. That’s why most are always stuck in a frustrating “pull your hair out” plateau. You see… sending out a lot of offers… and sending them frequently… requires sales copy. A LOT of sales copy. And the “skull sweat” and time required to do that is a substantial investment. More than most business owners have time for. So unless you have the financial means to hire a top-notch copywriter, your growth and income will always be limited. Because YOU are the kink in the hose. Why? It’s simple. In addition to the 1,001 plates you’re spinning while struggling to run your business… you simply don’t have the time to produce all the sales copy needed to fuel the engine of your business. There’s a second reason you’re not enjoying the income and lifestyle I’ve described in this letter. It’s also the #1 reason why your sales copy has been limping along and under-performing… or not performing at all. But I want you to know something. It’s not your fault. Because… Almost Everything You’ve Been Taught About Copywriting Is WRONG! The Internet is crawling with wet-behind-the-ears rookies who have hung out their shingle promoting themselves as a “copywriting expert.” Truth be told, the only experience most of those posers have is taking an online course that ALLEGEDLY certified them as a copywriter. Look, maybe they’re good writers. That doesn’t matter. Because if they don’t have actual in-the-trenches experience… If they’ve never had their back to the wall, FORCED to make sales or risk going broke, getting evicted and eating out of dumpsters… …then you simply can’t trust these guys. And you most DEFINITELY can’t trust the most important aspect of your business — your marketing — to these “fake experts.” Listen, being a “good writer” (whatever that means) doesn’t mean jack crap. Hardly any of those posers have the guts to put their money where their mouth is. I’m talking about investing their OWN money to prove that their copy works. But… they’re MORE than happy to use YOUR money to test their unproven rookie copywriting abilities. And many will gladly take your money in exchange for their “expert” advice… even though they’ve never successfully done what it is they’re claiming as their expertise. If you’ve been getting your copywriting advice from those guys, THAT is why I say it’s not your fault. Because… You’ve Been Deceived! And Terry and I are gonna set the record straight. Once and for all. You’re going to get the REAL scoop on how to create order-generating copy. And how to crank it out as fast as possible. From two “bootstrap entrepreneurs” who have been doing this week in and week out… month after month… for more than two decades. Often with nothing more than our brain, a notepad, a pen… and a couple hundred bucks credit left on the Visa card to invest in advertising. And in my case, I’ve used this system to crank out sales copy at the last minute. In the final hour. When I was so desperate for money, I was packing my suitcases getting ready for the impending eviction order. (Sadly, that’s NOT a joke or exaggeration.) You see, I’ve had some EXTREME financial ups and downs in my first 20 years as an entrepreneur. Yet time after time… this system has always brought in the cash I needed. Predictably, dependably and unfailingly. Like clockwork. In some cases… in as few as 24 hours. In fact, this system works so FAST… Terry even used it to create $96,250 out of thin air… in just a couple hours… IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE! The copy he used to do that was assembled by the very process you’re about to discover in our newest release… “The 60-Minute Copy Cure!” You’re going to get our combined 44 years experience creating winning sales copy. But this isn’t a boring “study ‘til you’re blue in the face/hand write classic copy controls for months on end” course. I’ll leave that to the legion of other people hawking copywriting courses. In fact, this isn’t really a “learn copywriting” course at all. (Although it WILL help you do that if that’s your ultimate goal.) What it is REALLY… is… A Shortcut To Creating Cash Generating Sales Copy… FAST! In some cases IMMEDIATELY. Because we’re not going to complicate things. (Although many in our weird wee world do that so they can drive up their prices.) But not us. Because really, making money online is pretty simple. So we’ve cut out all the fluff and made it as simple as possible. In fact, I’ve personally made a SYSTEM out of simple. (Remember, I barely made it out of Barberton High School… so it HAS to be simple for me.) You see, I don’t just teach regular copywriting. I teach what I like to call JSTDT™ copywriting. Which is so powerful… and so effective… It Almost FORCES People To Buy What You’re Selling! JSTDT™ is my proprietary marketing and copywriting system. It’s the exact same system I’ve used the past 22 years to live a lifestyle better than most Fortune 500 CEOs… while only working a fraction of the time. It’s also the very same system I’ve used to get paid as much as $2.3 million from writing one single ad. (To be 100% transparent, this was NOT a copywriting client gig. It was a print ad for one of my own businesses. And in every magazine and newspaper where it ran… in EVERY insertion… it brought in a 3-to-1 and as much as a 6-to-1 return on investment… for three straight years… with not so much as one single comma changed during that entire time.) JSTDT™ stands for “Just Sell The Damn Thing™”… and here’s what it’s all about: Do you have the time and patience to spends months or years of your life creating content to “build a relationship” with people who have never bought anything from you? People who come to you with their hands out, asking you to give them free stuff? If you do, I hope you have a sizeable stashola of cashola. Because that approach requires a LOT of money. And a lot of time waiting until you FINALLY make a little money. (If you EVER make any money.) In fact, one of my clients, Agora — one of the best direct marketers in the world, earning more than $1 BILLION a year in sales — told me that even they don’t have enough cash to make that model work anymore. Sure, it worked for them in the past. But it required millions of dollars and 12 months without making any money from each new customer to keep that model going. That’s why they abandoned it back in 2007. And if it isn’t working for THEM, what makes you think it will work for YOU? Here’s the bottom line: You Need More Customers And More Business, Right? Then there’s no need to screw around with all those complicated, convoluted and confusing multistep funnels… 4,001 question surveys… 7,007-step “if/then” auto responder sequences… Content marketing… writing blog posts for months or years on end without even one single sale to show for all your blood sweat and tears… Search engine optimization… YouTube videos… social media… And all the other things you’ve tried that have never worked for you. If you want to make money and get new customers RIGHT NOW… you simply need to… Just Sell The Damn Thing™! And that’s exactly what Terry and I are going to show you. It’s the simplest way to start making more money FAST. Now here’s the most exciting part: And why I say that this is a shortcut to moneymaking copy. A shortcut that can get you making money the very same day you get the product… literally. When you join us in The 60-Minute Copy Cure… You Get The Rights To “Steal” Our Most Successful Copy! Not word-for-word. That just doesn’t work. However, you’re going to have the ability to “synthesize” new sales generating copy by using our system of modeling our proven copy. Terry and I have done all of the heavy lifting for you. All YOU have to do is follow our simple instructions and “fill in the blanks” to adapt the copy to your product, your offer and your business. In fact, we even give you “fill in the blanks” templates that show you every single word, detail and phrase you need to insert about your product and business. It’s As Close To “Done-For-You” As We Can Possibly Make It! This is the exact same system I used in my supplement business that allowed me to take a two-year “mini retirement.” While the business chugged along bringing in cash like an automatic money machine. Picture it… You wake up each morning feeling optimistic and excited. Because you know that your short working day consists of about 60 minutes adapting and “synthesizing” new copy based on the proven templates we provide. Then all you have to do is queue up an email. That’s it for the whole day! You can go do whatever it is you want for the rest of the day. Because you know that your new sales copy will be working for you… generating sales and profits while you live your life doing whatever you want to do. And more importantly, NOT doing any of the things you DON’T want to do. The things you’ve had to do in the past because you needed the paycheck. When you have a system like this working for you, yes you have money. But you have something much more important than just material wealth. You have…

    ATTENTION: If You ever wondered about “Storage Auctions” and are looking to make great money in this struggling economy we may have the solution for you in the most important letter you’ll read all day. . .

Storage Auctions revealed in this new tell-all about tactic winning auction tips and you’ll get them all here – & win every time . . . Even if You Never Went to an Auction Before

Date: From: Lorenzo Lee

I f you are headed out the door to your boring job or off to the unemployment line… STOP – if for just a moment, and read what I have to tell you about storage auctions and how they transform lives all over the country.

You are going to fit into a category of the following people: retirees, those about to retire, unemployed, employed but bored, underpaid or looking for something where you can work from the comfort of your own home. Why wouldn’t you want to manage your home, be able play with your kids and not worry about how much gong out to eat costs for the family?

If you’ve just lost your job and you were standing in an unemployment line wondering how you are going to take care of your family; you’re stumped, clueless and at your wits end… What can you do in this economy? Even if you can find a job, you’ll be lucky if it pays half what you were making.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was in those same dire straits. Dodging calls from bill collectors and even hiding my car around the block so it wouldn’t get repossessed. But Mom always told me, “When one door closes, another opens.”

I never understood what she meant, until now. You see, even in this bad economy with millions and millions of people out of work or stuck in jobs they can’t stand and don’t pay enough to live on, there are still opportunities being created every day. Big Opportunities. REALLY BIG OPPORTUNITIES!

It was just a little while ago that one of those Big Opportunities came knocking at my door. And now it’s knocking on yours. What I am about to show you is not MLM or some get rich quick scheme. You will have to work at it, but with simple instruction and our Secret Weapons you’ll be able to get your slice of the money pie. Best of all you will once again have a reliable, stable income month in and month out.

I know you are thinking you will need a special skill or a specialized degree. All I have is a high school diploma, but you don’t even need that! And you won’t have to borrow a bunch of money to get started either!

This business is based on a very simple formula that has made millions of people rich for thousands of years.

It’s a very simple concept; you’ve probably even heard it before. It’s just four little words…

BUY LOW, SELL HIGH!

STOP! This is not some bs stock market or investment scheme. They require far more risk than I would be comfortable with, especially in this economy. They also require very specialized skills and knowledge. Not to mention a LOT of money to get started. Nope, this is different. Completely different.

Imagine a business where:

You don’t need CREDIT!

You don’t need a lot of money up front to get started.

You don’t need a college degree, special certifications or specialized knowledge.

You don’t have to take a lot of risks.

You don’t need an office, any employees or special equipment.

As the economy gets worse, your prospects get better!

You can start with less than a hundred bucks.

You don’t need a college degree, just a tiny bit of instruction and our Secret Weapons.

You set your own schedule and sell your merchandise from your own kitchen table or out of your garage.

You can do this ANYWHERE, because there are 30,000+ storage facilities all over the United States and Canada (We will even give you access to this list!)

You can be young, old, retired, in-between work, guys or girls and make good money, lots of it! ANYONE CAN DO THIS!

Imagine going to a storage auction, winning the auction with $50 and finding $2500 worth of merchandise for you to sell. You don’t have to just imagine it, you can do it! With our easy training course and Secret Weapons you’ll know exactly when, where and how to turn a unit into a great income as often as you want! This happens every day across all 50 states and Canada. In fact, it is not unusual for a self storage auction unit to be won with a single dollar, but inside the unit are things you could sell for several thousand dollars.

What kinds of items can you find in a Self Storage Auction?

Frankly, just about anything! For Example:

Cars (vintage cars, 4x4s, sports cars, motorcycles and RVs too!)

Boats (fishing boats, jet skis, watercraft of all kinds)

Tools (professional and typical homeowners stuff)

Specialized Business Equipment (from gyms, salons, restaurants, construction, etc.)

Collectibles (Toys, Books, Coins, Cards, Antiques)

Hollywood Memorabilia … items found in storage auctions:

Nicholas Cage’s Stolen $1Million Comic book

Madonna’s personal photos and signed work

Paris Hilton’s personal journals, videos and photos . . . more Hollywood treasures are found everyday!

Could you imagine stumbling onto the motherload of all Hollywood memorabilia or even one prop once used in a movie? What could you do with that kind of money?

With all of the possible valuables available at a self storage unit auction, it’s possible to replace a full time income from only a few hours work each week!

But don’t take my word for it. There are popular TV shows on major networks devoted to Self Storage Auctions. Keep in mind these shows are entertaining but they also show what can happen to someone who knows what they are doing in the storage auction business.

Inside the Best Self Storage Auction Course you will learn:

How to spot a great self storage unit auction quickly. (pg 28)

Doing these few things wrong can can land you in court! (pg 112)

How to bid on a unit and make others back off! (pg 65)

A simple, legal tool to save $$$$ on your taxes (pg 46)

What you MUST know BY LAW… BEFORE you bid! (pg 104)

The difference between a bad locker and an early Christmas (pg 84)

How to go to a storage auction fully prepared, unlike the other bidders. (pg 76)

How to avoid getting stuck with a unit full of junk you can’t sell or worse, have to pay big bucks to dispose! (pg 44)

How to reduce competition and lower your winning bid! (pg 127)

How to sell your items quick & get CASH in your hand right after the auction! (pg 81)

Why am I willing to share these secrets with you?

First, since I was a little boy I was taught “what goes around, comes around” and “if you help others, someone will be there to help you” and of course “Do unto others…” It’s kind of ingrained in me to share.

Second, I know what it feels like to be one step away from living in my minivan. Collections, bankruptcy, eating PB&J (without any PB… or J!). I’ve heard my family telling me, “You’ve got to get a job!” “You need to make some money!”, or my favorite, “You need to make more money”… only there weren’t any jobs for 50 year olds without a college degree, even if you did have 25 years experience in construction.

But then this opportunity came along for me as it is for you now. You don’t need a lot of money to make money. You can start this with less than $100. And truth be told, you really don’t have to work all that hard either.

Let’s imagine that you’ve completed the course and located an auction. You’ve got $150 in cash, you’re a little nervous, but that’s ok because it means you’re ready to go since you know that you’ve completed the course and you know exactly what you want to do as soon as you step foot on the lot.

The Auctioneer comes out of the office and leads you and 4 others to unit G167. Sure, the others are there for the same reason as you, but they haven’t been through the course, they don’t have the knowledge you gained from the handouts… but you have. You’re here because you know which auctions to go to and which ones aren’t worth the trouble.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the unit you notice the others getting excited, one lady is even bouncing up and down clapping her hands as everyone begins to see the unit is stuffed to the brim with computer monitors and other electronic gear. You allow yourself a wry smile, you learned on page 35 of the course that many times storage units are used as “dumps” for broken, worthless electronic equipment to avoid paying the high disposal fees… fees that the “winner” of this units auction may have to pay. In the time it takes you to finish this thought the currently happy lady has “won” the auction for $250.

Secret: If you can get the other bidders to spend all their money on crappy units, you can walk away with a fantastic unit for little to no money as they run out of funds.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the next unit you notice the others pointing at the boxes, card tables and mattresses piled up with garbage bags. Unlike the last unit they seem to grumble a bit, but you see a sliver of wood you know to be a china cabinet peeking out from behind the mattresses. Lots of fine woodwork in what little you can see. It might even be an antique…

You get startled a bit as the Auctioneer breaks the silence with “The bidding opens at $25.” No one moves, and the auctioneer calls out again, only this time he lowers the opening bid for fear of not selling the unit today. “Lets get the bids going, who’ll give me $10?” he cries…

…after a short moment you give a wave of your hand at the Auctioneer. He’s a good Auctioneer and soon you’re bidding against a “happy lady”. You know from the course that doing this one thing will make her back down… She does, and before you know it you hear “$50 going once, $50 going twice, Sold to bidder #67.” $50… to bidder #67… holy crap that’s you!

Your heart is racing but you manage to keep it together long enough to pay the Auctioneer and lock your unit. Finally the auction is over and you go back to the unit you purchased.

That china cabinet might be worth $200, maybe more. But first you’re going to have to go through everything else to get a better look at it. It’s mostly old clothes and the usual “kitchen items” but one of the boxes is quite heavy and has some collectable memorabilia from an old TV show and another some baseball cards from the 1970’s. You’re feeling pretty good, it looks like you might be able to at least double your cash from just what you’ve found so far!

Finally you can move those mattresses…

You find yourself having to lean against the side of the unit for fear of falling down.

The China Cabinet is gorgeous. Worth at least $700 and based on the glass style it does look antique so it could be a lot more. But that’s not why you’re having trouble standing. You see, it’s full to the brim, with Depression Glass. You’ve seen a single piece of Depression Glass sell for $25 and there must be 50 or 60 pieces in this China Cabinet!

Luckily for you, our BSA Auction checklist has you totally prepared for this…

Following the few simple rules of the course, and the “members only” checklist, your grin got even bigger as your favorite antique dealer handed you $500 before he took the China Cabinet away. All packed up, you hurry home with everything you’ve found. After an evening of research (using some of our special tips and bonus material on valuation) you’ve learned that the cards and TV show stuff are worth an easy $400…

But the reason your wife is whistling as she is preparing for a night on the town, the first time in months… is because the antique dealer also handed you $1400 for all that Depression Glass!

This is not just a fantasy. Finds like this happen almost every day all over the USA. It’s happened to me, it can happen to you. All that is left for you to decide is will it be a fantasy for you or will you take the necessary action to make it your reality?

I know that times are tough right now. Spending anything is a major decision. But I am going to eliminate all of the risk for you.

Are you serious about earning great cash for your family with Self Storage Auctions?

    ATTENTION: If You ever wondered about “Storage Auctions” and are looking to make great money in this struggling economy we may have the solution for you in the most important letter you’ll read all day. . .

Storage Auctions revealed in this new tell-all about tactic winning auction tips and you’ll get them all here – & win every time . . . Even if You Never Went to an Auction Before

Date: From: Lorenzo Lee

I f you are headed out the door to your boring job or off to the unemployment line… STOP – if for just a moment, and read what I have to tell you about storage auctions and how they transform lives all over the country.

You are going to fit into a category of the following people: retirees, those about to retire, unemployed, employed but bored, underpaid or looking for something where you can work from the comfort of your own home. Why wouldn’t you want to manage your home, be able play with your kids and not worry about how much gong out to eat costs for the family?

If you’ve just lost your job and you were standing in an unemployment line wondering how you are going to take care of your family; you’re stumped, clueless and at your wits end… What can you do in this economy? Even if you can find a job, you’ll be lucky if it pays half what you were making.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was in those same dire straits. Dodging calls from bill collectors and even hiding my car around the block so it wouldn’t get repossessed. But Mom always told me, “When one door closes, another opens.”

I never understood what she meant, until now. You see, even in this bad economy with millions and millions of people out of work or stuck in jobs they can’t stand and don’t pay enough to live on, there are still opportunities being created every day. Big Opportunities. REALLY BIG OPPORTUNITIES!

It was just a little while ago that one of those Big Opportunities came knocking at my door. And now it’s knocking on yours. What I am about to show you is not MLM or some get rich quick scheme. You will have to work at it, but with simple instruction and our Secret Weapons you’ll be able to get your slice of the money pie. Best of all you will once again have a reliable, stable income month in and month out.

I know you are thinking you will need a special skill or a specialized degree. All I have is a high school diploma, but you don’t even need that! And you won’t have to borrow a bunch of money to get started either!

This business is based on a very simple formula that has made millions of people rich for thousands of years.

It’s a very simple concept; you’ve probably even heard it before. It’s just four little words…

BUY LOW, SELL HIGH!

STOP! This is not some bs stock market or investment scheme. They require far more risk than I would be comfortable with, especially in this economy. They also require very specialized skills and knowledge. Not to mention a LOT of money to get started. Nope, this is different. Completely different.

Imagine a business where:

You don’t need CREDIT!

You don’t need a lot of money up front to get started.

You don’t need a college degree, special certifications or specialized knowledge.

You don’t have to take a lot of risks.

You don’t need an office, any employees or special equipment.

As the economy gets worse, your prospects get better!

You can start with less than a hundred bucks.

You don’t need a college degree, just a tiny bit of instruction and our Secret Weapons.

You set your own schedule and sell your merchandise from your own kitchen table or out of your garage.

You can do this ANYWHERE, because there are 30,000+ storage facilities all over the United States and Canada (We will even give you access to this list!)

You can be young, old, retired, in-between work, guys or girls and make good money, lots of it! ANYONE CAN DO THIS!

Imagine going to a storage auction, winning the auction with $50 and finding $2500 worth of merchandise for you to sell. You don’t have to just imagine it, you can do it! With our easy training course and Secret Weapons you’ll know exactly when, where and how to turn a unit into a great income as often as you want! This happens every day across all 50 states and Canada. In fact, it is not unusual for a self storage auction unit to be won with a single dollar, but inside the unit are things you could sell for several thousand dollars.

What kinds of items can you find in a Self Storage Auction?

Frankly, just about anything! For Example:

Cars (vintage cars, 4x4s, sports cars, motorcycles and RVs too!)

Boats (fishing boats, jet skis, watercraft of all kinds)

Tools (professional and typical homeowners stuff)

Specialized Business Equipment (from gyms, salons, restaurants, construction, etc.)

Collectibles (Toys, Books, Coins, Cards, Antiques)

Hollywood Memorabilia … items found in storage auctions:

Nicholas Cage’s Stolen $1Million Comic book

Madonna’s personal photos and signed work

Paris Hilton’s personal journals, videos and photos . . . more Hollywood treasures are found everyday!

Could you imagine stumbling onto the motherload of all Hollywood memorabilia or even one prop once used in a movie? What could you do with that kind of money?

With all of the possible valuables available at a self storage unit auction, it’s possible to replace a full time income from only a few hours work each week!

But don’t take my word for it. There are popular TV shows on major networks devoted to Self Storage Auctions. Keep in mind these shows are entertaining but they also show what can happen to someone who knows what they are doing in the storage auction business.

Inside the Best Self Storage Auction Course you will learn:

How to spot a great self storage unit auction quickly. (pg 28)

Doing these few things wrong can can land you in court! (pg 112)

How to bid on a unit and make others back off! (pg 65)

A simple, legal tool to save $$$$ on your taxes (pg 46)

What you MUST know BY LAW… BEFORE you bid! (pg 104)

The difference between a bad locker and an early Christmas (pg 84)

How to go to a storage auction fully prepared, unlike the other bidders. (pg 76)

How to avoid getting stuck with a unit full of junk you can’t sell or worse, have to pay big bucks to dispose! (pg 44)

How to reduce competition and lower your winning bid! (pg 127)

How to sell your items quick & get CASH in your hand right after the auction! (pg 81)

Why am I willing to share these secrets with you?

First, since I was a little boy I was taught “what goes around, comes around” and “if you help others, someone will be there to help you” and of course “Do unto others…” It’s kind of ingrained in me to share.

Second, I know what it feels like to be one step away from living in my minivan. Collections, bankruptcy, eating PB&J (without any PB… or J!). I’ve heard my family telling me, “You’ve got to get a job!” “You need to make some money!”, or my favorite, “You need to make more money”… only there weren’t any jobs for 50 year olds without a college degree, even if you did have 25 years experience in construction.

But then this opportunity came along for me as it is for you now. You don’t need a lot of money to make money. You can start this with less than $100. And truth be told, you really don’t have to work all that hard either.

Let’s imagine that you’ve completed the course and located an auction. You’ve got $150 in cash, you’re a little nervous, but that’s ok because it means you’re ready to go since you know that you’ve completed the course and you know exactly what you want to do as soon as you step foot on the lot.

The Auctioneer comes out of the office and leads you and 4 others to unit G167. Sure, the others are there for the same reason as you, but they haven’t been through the course, they don’t have the knowledge you gained from the handouts… but you have. You’re here because you know which auctions to go to and which ones aren’t worth the trouble.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the unit you notice the others getting excited, one lady is even bouncing up and down clapping her hands as everyone begins to see the unit is stuffed to the brim with computer monitors and other electronic gear. You allow yourself a wry smile, you learned on page 35 of the course that many times storage units are used as “dumps” for broken, worthless electronic equipment to avoid paying the high disposal fees… fees that the “winner” of this units auction may have to pay. In the time it takes you to finish this thought the currently happy lady has “won” the auction for $250.

Secret: If you can get the other bidders to spend all their money on crappy units, you can walk away with a fantastic unit for little to no money as they run out of funds.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the next unit you notice the others pointing at the boxes, card tables and mattresses piled up with garbage bags. Unlike the last unit they seem to grumble a bit, but you see a sliver of wood you know to be a china cabinet peeking out from behind the mattresses. Lots of fine woodwork in what little you can see. It might even be an antique…

You get startled a bit as the Auctioneer breaks the silence with “The bidding opens at $25.” No one moves, and the auctioneer calls out again, only this time he lowers the opening bid for fear of not selling the unit today. “Lets get the bids going, who’ll give me $10?” he cries…

…after a short moment you give a wave of your hand at the Auctioneer. He’s a good Auctioneer and soon you’re bidding against a “happy lady”. You know from the course that doing this one thing will make her back down… She does, and before you know it you hear “$50 going once, $50 going twice, Sold to bidder #67.” $50… to bidder #67… holy crap that’s you!

Your heart is racing but you manage to keep it together long enough to pay the Auctioneer and lock your unit. Finally the auction is over and you go back to the unit you purchased.

That china cabinet might be worth $200, maybe more. But first you’re going to have to go through everything else to get a better look at it. It’s mostly old clothes and the usual “kitchen items” but one of the boxes is quite heavy and has some collectable memorabilia from an old TV show and another some baseball cards from the 1970’s. You’re feeling pretty good, it looks like you might be able to at least double your cash from just what you’ve found so far!

Finally you can move those mattresses…

You find yourself having to lean against the side of the unit for fear of falling down.

The China Cabinet is gorgeous. Worth at least $700 and based on the glass style it does look antique so it could be a lot more. But that’s not why you’re having trouble standing. You see, it’s full to the brim, with Depression Glass. You’ve seen a single piece of Depression Glass sell for $25 and there must be 50 or 60 pieces in this China Cabinet!

Luckily for you, our BSA Auction checklist has you totally prepared for this…

Following the few simple rules of the course, and the “members only” checklist, your grin got even bigger as your favorite antique dealer handed you $500 before he took the China Cabinet away. All packed up, you hurry home with everything you’ve found. After an evening of research (using some of our special tips and bonus material on valuation) you’ve learned that the cards and TV show stuff are worth an easy $400…

But the reason your wife is whistling as she is preparing for a night on the town, the first time in months… is because the antique dealer also handed you $1400 for all that Depression Glass!

This is not just a fantasy. Finds like this happen almost every day all over the USA. It’s happened to me, it can happen to you. All that is left for you to decide is will it be a fantasy for you or will you take the necessary action to make it your reality?

I know that times are tough right now. Spending anything is a major decision. But I am going to eliminate all of the risk for you.

Storage Auctions revealed in this new tell-all about tactic winning auction tips and you’ll get them all here – & win every time . . . Even if You Never Went to an Auction Before

Date: From: Lorenzo Lee

I f you are headed out the door to your boring job or off to the unemployment line… STOP – if for just a moment, and read what I have to tell you about storage auctions and how they transform lives all over the country.

You are going to fit into a category of the following people: retirees, those about to retire, unemployed, employed but bored, underpaid or looking for something where you can work from the comfort of your own home. Why wouldn’t you want to manage your home, be able play with your kids and not worry about how much gong out to eat costs for the family?

If you’ve just lost your job and you were standing in an unemployment line wondering how you are going to take care of your family; you’re stumped, clueless and at your wits end… What can you do in this economy? Even if you can find a job, you’ll be lucky if it pays half what you were making.

It wasn’t that long ago that I was in those same dire straits. Dodging calls from bill collectors and even hiding my car around the block so it wouldn’t get repossessed. But Mom always told me, “When one door closes, another opens.”

I never understood what she meant, until now. You see, even in this bad economy with millions and millions of people out of work or stuck in jobs they can’t stand and don’t pay enough to live on, there are still opportunities being created every day. Big Opportunities. REALLY BIG OPPORTUNITIES!

It was just a little while ago that one of those Big Opportunities came knocking at my door. And now it’s knocking on yours. What I am about to show you is not MLM or some get rich quick scheme. You will have to work at it, but with simple instruction and our Secret Weapons you’ll be able to get your slice of the money pie. Best of all you will once again have a reliable, stable income month in and month out.

I know you are thinking you will need a special skill or a specialized degree. All I have is a high school diploma, but you don’t even need that! And you won’t have to borrow a bunch of money to get started either!

This business is based on a very simple formula that has made millions of people rich for thousands of years.

It’s a very simple concept; you’ve probably even heard it before. It’s just four little words…

BUY LOW, SELL HIGH!

STOP! This is not some bs stock market or investment scheme. They require far more risk than I would be comfortable with, especially in this economy. They also require very specialized skills and knowledge. Not to mention a LOT of money to get started. Nope, this is different. Completely different.

Imagine a business where:

You don’t need CREDIT!

You don’t need a lot of money up front to get started.

You don’t need a college degree, special certifications or specialized knowledge.

You don’t have to take a lot of risks.

You don’t need an office, any employees or special equipment.

As the economy gets worse, your prospects get better!

You can start with less than a hundred bucks.

You don’t need a college degree, just a tiny bit of instruction and our Secret Weapons.

You set your own schedule and sell your merchandise from your own kitchen table or out of your garage.

You can do this ANYWHERE, because there are 30,000+ storage facilities all over the United States and Canada (We will even give you access to this list!)

You can be young, old, retired, in-between work, guys or girls and make good money, lots of it! ANYONE CAN DO THIS!

Imagine going to a storage auction, winning the auction with $50 and finding $2500 worth of merchandise for you to sell. You don’t have to just imagine it, you can do it! With our easy training course and Secret Weapons you’ll know exactly when, where and how to turn a unit into a great income as often as you want! This happens every day across all 50 states and Canada. In fact, it is not unusual for a self storage auction unit to be won with a single dollar, but inside the unit are things you could sell for several thousand dollars.

What kinds of items can you find in a Self Storage Auction?

Frankly, just about anything! For Example:

Cars (vintage cars, 4x4s, sports cars, motorcycles and RVs too!)

Boats (fishing boats, jet skis, watercraft of all kinds)

Tools (professional and typical homeowners stuff)

Specialized Business Equipment (from gyms, salons, restaurants, construction, etc.)

Collectibles (Toys, Books, Coins, Cards, Antiques)

Hollywood Memorabilia … items found in storage auctions:

Nicholas Cage’s Stolen $1Million Comic book

Madonna’s personal photos and signed work

Paris Hilton’s personal journals, videos and photos . . . more Hollywood treasures are found everyday!

Could you imagine stumbling onto the motherload of all Hollywood memorabilia or even one prop once used in a movie? What could you do with that kind of money?

With all of the possible valuables available at a self storage unit auction, it’s possible to replace a full time income from only a few hours work each week!

But don’t take my word for it. There are popular TV shows on major networks devoted to Self Storage Auctions. Keep in mind these shows are entertaining but they also show what can happen to someone who knows what they are doing in the storage auction business.

Inside the Best Self Storage Auction Course you will learn:

How to spot a great self storage unit auction quickly. (pg 28)

Doing these few things wrong can can land you in court! (pg 112)

How to bid on a unit and make others back off! (pg 65)

A simple, legal tool to save $$$$ on your taxes (pg 46)

What you MUST know BY LAW… BEFORE you bid! (pg 104)

The difference between a bad locker and an early Christmas (pg 84)

How to go to a storage auction fully prepared, unlike the other bidders. (pg 76)

How to avoid getting stuck with a unit full of junk you can’t sell or worse, have to pay big bucks to dispose! (pg 44)

How to reduce competition and lower your winning bid! (pg 127)

How to sell your items quick & get CASH in your hand right after the auction! (pg 81)

Why am I willing to share these secrets with you?

First, since I was a little boy I was taught “what goes around, comes around” and “if you help others, someone will be there to help you” and of course “Do unto others…” It’s kind of ingrained in me to share.

Second, I know what it feels like to be one step away from living in my minivan. Collections, bankruptcy, eating PB&J (without any PB… or J!). I’ve heard my family telling me, “You’ve got to get a job!” “You need to make some money!”, or my favorite, “You need to make more money”… only there weren’t any jobs for 50 year olds without a college degree, even if you did have 25 years experience in construction.

But then this opportunity came along for me as it is for you now. You don’t need a lot of money to make money. You can start this with less than $100. And truth be told, you really don’t have to work all that hard either.

Let’s imagine that you’ve completed the course and located an auction. You’ve got $150 in cash, you’re a little nervous, but that’s ok because it means you’re ready to go since you know that you’ve completed the course and you know exactly what you want to do as soon as you step foot on the lot.

The Auctioneer comes out of the office and leads you and 4 others to unit G167. Sure, the others are there for the same reason as you, but they haven’t been through the course, they don’t have the knowledge you gained from the handouts… but you have. You’re here because you know which auctions to go to and which ones aren’t worth the trouble.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the unit you notice the others getting excited, one lady is even bouncing up and down clapping her hands as everyone begins to see the unit is stuffed to the brim with computer monitors and other electronic gear. You allow yourself a wry smile, you learned on page 35 of the course that many times storage units are used as “dumps” for broken, worthless electronic equipment to avoid paying the high disposal fees… fees that the “winner” of this units auction may have to pay. In the time it takes you to finish this thought the currently happy lady has “won” the auction for $250.

Secret: If you can get the other bidders to spend all their money on crappy units, you can walk away with a fantastic unit for little to no money as they run out of funds.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the next unit you notice the others pointing at the boxes, card tables and mattresses piled up with garbage bags. Unlike the last unit they seem to grumble a bit, but you see a sliver of wood you know to be a china cabinet peeking out from behind the mattresses. Lots of fine woodwork in what little you can see. It might even be an antique…

You get startled a bit as the Auctioneer breaks the silence with “The bidding opens at $25.” No one moves, and the auctioneer calls out again, only this time he lowers the opening bid for fear of not selling the unit today. “Lets get the bids going, who’ll give me $10?” he cries…

…after a short moment you give a wave of your hand at the Auctioneer. He’s a good Auctioneer and soon you’re bidding against a “happy lady”. You know from the course that doing this one thing will make her back down… She does, and before you know it you hear “$50 going once, $50 going twice, Sold to bidder #67.” $50… to bidder #67… holy crap that’s you!

Your heart is racing but you manage to keep it together long enough to pay the Auctioneer and lock your unit. Finally the auction is over and you go back to the unit you purchased.

That china cabinet might be worth $200, maybe more. But first you’re going to have to go through everything else to get a better look at it. It’s mostly old clothes and the usual “kitchen items” but one of the boxes is quite heavy and has some collectable memorabilia from an old TV show and another some baseball cards from the 1970’s. You’re feeling pretty good, it looks like you might be able to at least double your cash from just what you’ve found so far!

Finally you can move those mattresses…

You find yourself having to lean against the side of the unit for fear of falling down.

The China Cabinet is gorgeous. Worth at least $700 and based on the glass style it does look antique so it could be a lot more. But that’s not why you’re having trouble standing. You see, it’s full to the brim, with Depression Glass. You’ve seen a single piece of Depression Glass sell for $25 and there must be 50 or 60 pieces in this China Cabinet!

Luckily for you, our BSA Auction checklist has you totally prepared for this…

Following the few simple rules of the course, and the “members only” checklist, your grin got even bigger as your favorite antique dealer handed you $500 before he took the China Cabinet away. All packed up, you hurry home with everything you’ve found. After an evening of research (using some of our special tips and bonus material on valuation) you’ve learned that the cards and TV show stuff are worth an easy $400…

But the reason your wife is whistling as she is preparing for a night on the town, the first time in months… is because the antique dealer also handed you $1400 for all that Depression Glass!

This is not just a fantasy. Finds like this happen almost every day all over the USA. It’s happened to me, it can happen to you. All that is left for you to decide is will it be a fantasy for you or will you take the necessary action to make it your reality?

I know that times are tough right now. Spending anything is a major decision. But I am going to eliminate all of the risk for you.

Tools (professional and typical homeowners stuff)

Specialized Business Equipment (from gyms, salons, restaurants, construction, etc.)

Collectibles (Toys, Books, Coins, Cards, Antiques)

Hollywood Memorabilia … items found in storage auctions:

Nicholas Cage’s Stolen $1Million Comic book

Madonna’s personal photos and signed work

Paris Hilton’s personal journals, videos and photos . . . more Hollywood treasures are found everyday!

Could you imagine stumbling onto the motherload of all Hollywood memorabilia or even one prop once used in a movie? What could you do with that kind of money?

With all of the possible valuables available at a self storage unit auction, it’s possible to replace a full time income from only a few hours work each week!

But don’t take my word for it. There are popular TV shows on major networks devoted to Self Storage Auctions. Keep in mind these shows are entertaining but they also show what can happen to someone who knows what they are doing in the storage auction business.

Inside the Best Self Storage Auction Course you will learn:

How to spot a great self storage unit auction quickly. (pg 28)

Doing these few things wrong can can land you in court! (pg 112)

How to bid on a unit and make others back off! (pg 65)

A simple, legal tool to save $$$$ on your taxes (pg 46)

What you MUST know BY LAW… BEFORE you bid! (pg 104)

The difference between a bad locker and an early Christmas (pg 84)

How to go to a storage auction fully prepared, unlike the other bidders. (pg 76)

How to avoid getting stuck with a unit full of junk you can’t sell or worse, have to pay big bucks to dispose! (pg 44)

How to reduce competition and lower your winning bid! (pg 127)

How to sell your items quick & get CASH in your hand right after the auction! (pg 81)

Why am I willing to share these secrets with you?

First, since I was a little boy I was taught “what goes around, comes around” and “if you help others, someone will be there to help you” and of course “Do unto others…” It’s kind of ingrained in me to share.

Second, I know what it feels like to be one step away from living in my minivan. Collections, bankruptcy, eating PB&J (without any PB… or J!). I’ve heard my family telling me, “You’ve got to get a job!” “You need to make some money!”, or my favorite, “You need to make more money”… only there weren’t any jobs for 50 year olds without a college degree, even if you did have 25 years experience in construction.

But then this opportunity came along for me as it is for you now. You don’t need a lot of money to make money. You can start this with less than $100. And truth be told, you really don’t have to work all that hard either.

Let’s imagine that you’ve completed the course and located an auction. You’ve got $150 in cash, you’re a little nervous, but that’s ok because it means you’re ready to go since you know that you’ve completed the course and you know exactly what you want to do as soon as you step foot on the lot.

The Auctioneer comes out of the office and leads you and 4 others to unit G167. Sure, the others are there for the same reason as you, but they haven’t been through the course, they don’t have the knowledge you gained from the handouts… but you have. You’re here because you know which auctions to go to and which ones aren’t worth the trouble.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the unit you notice the others getting excited, one lady is even bouncing up and down clapping her hands as everyone begins to see the unit is stuffed to the brim with computer monitors and other electronic gear. You allow yourself a wry smile, you learned on page 35 of the course that many times storage units are used as “dumps” for broken, worthless electronic equipment to avoid paying the high disposal fees… fees that the “winner” of this units auction may have to pay. In the time it takes you to finish this thought the currently happy lady has “won” the auction for $250.

Secret: If you can get the other bidders to spend all their money on crappy units, you can walk away with a fantastic unit for little to no money as they run out of funds.

As the Auctioneer opens the door to the next unit you notice the others pointing at the boxes, card tables and mattresses piled up with garbage bags. Unlike the last unit they seem to grumble a bit, but you see a sliver of wood you know to be a china cabinet peeking out from behind the mattresses. Lots of fine woodwork in what little you can see. It might even be an antique…

You get startled a bit as the Auctioneer breaks the silence with “The bidding opens at $25.” No one moves, and the auctioneer calls out again, only this time he lowers the opening bid for fear of not selling the unit today. “Lets get the bids going, who’ll give me $10?” he cries…

…after a short moment you give a wave of your hand at the Auctioneer. He’s a good Auctioneer and soon you’re bidding against a “happy lady”. You know from the course that doing this one thing will make her back down… She does, and before you know it you hear “$50 going once, $50 going twice, Sold to bidder #67.” $50… to bidder #67… holy crap that’s you!

Your heart is racing but you manage to keep it together long enough to pay the Auctioneer and lock your unit. Finally the auction is over and you go back to the unit you purchased.

That china cabinet might be worth $200, maybe more. But first you’re going to have to go through everything else to get a better look at it. It’s mostly old clothes and the usual “kitchen items” but one of the boxes is quite heavy and has some collectable memorabilia from an old TV show and another some baseball cards from the 1970’s. You’re feeling pretty good, it looks like you might be able to at least double your cash from just what you’ve found so far!

Finally you can move those mattresses…

You find yourself having to lean against the side of the unit for fear of falling down.

The China Cabinet is gorgeous. Worth at least $700 and based on the glass style it does look antique so it could be a lot more. But that’s not why you’re having trouble standing. You see, it’s full to the brim, with Depression Glass. You’ve seen a single piece of Depression Glass sell for $25 and there must be 50 or 60 pieces in this China Cabinet!

Luckily for you, our BSA Auction checklist has you totally prepared for this…

Following the few simple rules of the course, and the “members only” checklist, your grin got even bigger as your favorite antique dealer handed you $500 before he took the China Cabinet away. All packed up, you hurry home with everything you’ve found. After an evening of research (using some of our special tips and bonus material on valuation) you’ve learned that the cards and TV show stuff are worth an easy $400…

But the reason your wife is whistling as she is preparing for a night on the town, the first time in months… is because the antique dealer also handed you $1400 for all that Depression Glass!

This is not just a fantasy. Finds like this happen almost every day all over the USA. It’s happened to me, it can happen to you. All that is left for you to decide is will it be a fantasy for you or will you take the necessary action to make it your reality?

I know that times are tough right now. Spending anything is a major decision. But I am going to eliminate all of the risk for you.

The best of: TRD editors share their picks for the top stories of 2018

The Real Deal’s top stories of 2018

The Real Deal’s coverage reached all corners of the real estate industry in 2018.

From the Opportunity Zones craze and residential brokerage’s existential crisis, to a developer who’s become the poster boy for gentrification in Chicago and even the mid-term elections, TRD reporters and editors didn’t skip a beat.

Here’s a look at some of the top stories we reported in 2018, as selected by TRD’s team of editors.

Stuart Elliott, Editor-in-chief | Kushner unfiltered, Rough cut

The Real Deal’s reporters and editors kept quite busy in 2018. Each month we produced in the ballpark of 1,000 online posts and 200 magazine pages across our four cities. Amidst that mountain of copy, there was a lot that stood out when it came to finger-on-pulse, follow-the-money financial journalism. It’s hard to choose, but I will say this: “Rough Cut,” our investigative piece on how money from the murky global diamond trade has helped shape the New York skyline, was a deep-dive that made me particularly proud with its breadth and scope.

Meanwhile, our no-holds-barred interview with Charlie Kushner was our most read piece of the year. And for good reason – nobody else had gotten that kind of access to Kushner, at a time when his son Jared in the White House and his 666 Fifth Avenue property were the subject of intense scrutiny. The interview starts with Kushner posing a fairly direct question to Will Parker and Konrad Putzier, and gets more confrontational from there.

Jill Noonan, Senior content director | The death of the brokerage

Picking a favorite is never easy, but our May magazine cover story headlined “The death of the brokerage” was definitely toward the top of my 2018 list. Not only did senior reporter E.B. Solomont do a superb job in reporting it, but she also managed to capture a hugely important moment in time for New York City’s residential brokerage community. The story, which was largely pegged to the collapse of Town Residential, detailed the perfect storm of financial challenges that have intensified for residential brokerages in the last year or two. And while these firms are still collectively transacting billions of dollars a year in business, the challenges laid out in the piece — from new technology pressures to competition from venture-backed firms to difficulties in retaining top agents — are clearly not going away anytime soon. We’ll have to stay tuned to see how it turns out in 2019 and beyond!

Damian Ghigliotty, Managing issue editor | When the glass ceiling won’t break

“When the glass ceiling won’t break” remains a very important and timely story that follows our January 2017 cover story “Real estate’s diversity problem.” Everything about this feature highlights The Real Deal’s ability to raise the bar when it comes to in-depth industry coverage. Kathryn Brenzel’s reporting for this story was incredibly detailed and uncompromising, and the collaborative effort among her, the research team and the magazine editors made the final outcome that much more impactful. We looked at gender diversity (and the lack thereof) at dozens of real estate firms, spoke to dozens of people about what has and hasn’t changed in recent years, and our photo shoot brought several industry executives from different sectors to our New York office on the same day — which was a feat unto itself.

James Kleimann, Managing web editor | The agent luxury rental landlords can’t live without

When Brookfield’s amenity-filled luxury rental tower the Eugene opened for leasing, many of us couldn’t fathom why any New Yorker would pay upwards of $10,000 a month to live above the Lincoln Tunnel. Reporters Will Parker and Konrad Putzier started with the obvious question: How did the hundreds of renters find their way to the windy, badlands of Manhattan? And who were they? Parker and Putzier struck up a few conversations with people at the building, who were all too happy to share how the tale: a Flushing-based broker we had never heard of was filling the Eugene and other pricey rental towers from JDS, Extell, Durst, etc. with hundreds — maybe thousands — of “fuerdai,” Chinese students who receive $50,000 monthly allowances from their loaded parents. It’s a fantastic real estate story, and it’s my favorite TRD yarn of 2018! There are colorful anecdotes (one student at the Eugene had $1 million in cash stuffed inside his piano), insights into how agent Sunanne Zhu finds clients (a 5,000-member WeChat group), and a thorough breakdown of what it means for these developers (considering the state of the luxury market, it’s a gift from the heavens; but because rich students chase concessions and the latest amenities each year, things can quickly turn south). Give it a read if you haven’t yet!

Danielle Balbi, Deputy web editor | The anatomy of construction corruption

It’s the $45.3 billion backbone of New York’s real estate world: the construction industry. And in “The anatomy of construction corruption,” reporter Kathryn Brenzel illustrated how, for decades, graft has creeped its way through a network of middle men — from dry wall installers to building suppliers — into developers’ bottom lines. The story serves as a perfect primer to what makes construction sites so vulnerable to scandals like overbilling schemes and bribery, which have become so commonplace that firms just see this as the cost of doing business. And Brenzel’s reporting brings to light an industry-wide inertia that allows such corruption to continually flourish.

Will Parker, Special projects editor | At star-studded 443 Greenwich, condos are smaller than advertised

For New Yorkers of ordinary means, slick brokers with a penchant for embellishment are not an occasional misfortune, but an expectation. And even for the wealthy in this city there is no magic line of privilege whereafter it is no longer normal. Senior reporter E.B. Solomont wrote this year about how Manhattan condominium buyers are consistently forking out seven- and eight-figure sums for luxury homes that are much smaller than advertised, in some cases up to 20 percent smaller than the stated square footage. Nowhere is this trend more evident than at 443 Greenwich Street, a West Village conversion that has been successfully marketed as a must-own for celebrities, including actors Meg Ryan and Jennifer Lawrence.

Brokers maintain that a square footage fib of up to 10 percent is “not-material” and insist that what is square footage and what is not is largely subjective (state regulators, meanwhile, allow developers to measure it however they want, including the use of non-usable space). Over the last two decades, buyers have fought back by suing, and some brokers, in turn, have adjusted to that reality, but mostly just by ceasing to advertise square footage at all in order to avoid getting sued.

More recently, a group of residential agents has assembled to get serious about standardizing square footage in the industry, so that numbers match reality. “Tape measures exist for a reason,” broker Leonard Steinberg told Solomont. “We didn’t build buildings with spandex. There’s a gross square footage to every structure in New York City and they can be measured — and they should be.”

Hiten Samtani, Editor-at-large | Rough cut

Origin stories always make for juicy reads, and this one dug (no pun intended) into the gemstone-filled past of some of New York’s most important developers. In an exhaustively reported narrative that took the reader from Sierra Leone to Antwerp and to the corridors of money and power in Manhattan, Konrad Putzier was able to detail the nexus between the diamond and real estate industries, and even explain how the two professions are so similar. There are rich anecdotes throughout, but the piece is also anchored by original research on the extent that former diamond traders have shaped the city’s skyline.

My favorite bit from the story shows the similarity between the trades: The diamond game is all about acquisition of the rough, the financing of the purchase, deciding how to cut the diamond, and then refining and marketing it to achieve maximum value. Sound familiar?

“In the mind,” said Yitzchak Tessler, a former diamond trader and now condo developer, “it’s not such a big jump.”

Heidi Patalano, Special issues editor | The indestructible tenant

As the special issues editor, I treasure the work I get to do with staffers in LA and Miami on their print editions. But this year, one of the pieces I was most fascinated by was written our frequent freelancer C.J. Hughes, who covered the proliferation of dollar stores for our retail issue. Discounters like Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Five Below are increasingly referred to as “teflon tenants” and its easy to see why, since they can compete with Amazon on pricing for basic household items. One broker said dollar stores were “e-commerce immune.” We’ve all heard so much about the need for “experiential tenants” in retail spaces, but I found the tale of this thriving segment of traditional retail to be a telling example of Darwinian survival.

Alexi Friedman, National editor | Will real estate developers seize on ‘Opportunity Zones’ tax incentive?

I’ve got two words for you: Opportunity Zones. Everyone is talking about the federal program that provides tax incentives for investors to focus developments in distressed areas. It’s the real estate industry’s newest, shiniest toy. Even Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci wants in. But not many knew about it in early summer — including this editor — when Keith Larsen laid out its possibilities and perils. His story, “Will real estate developers seize on ‘Opportunity Zones’ tax incentive?” homed in on Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a designated zone ripe for redevelopment. Other TRD reporters have followed with excellent stories of their own in all four of our markets, including Erin Hudson’s video primer: “Everything you always wanted to know about Opportunity Zones.” But the questions Keith’s reporting raised: will investors pour money into Opportunity Zone areas apart from existing projects, why are some upscale neighborhoods in designated zones, and will the program benefit the region or just be a gift to wealthy developers, continue to be debated today.

Brian Baxter, Tri-state editor | Search and destroy: How CoStar became a $15B juggernaut

When presented with the opportunity to join the editorial team at The Real Deal in late 2018, I set about doing my due diligence on the place. The bylines of a handful of reporters, some on different continents, for the magazine’s October cover story examining the CoStar Group’s rapid rise demonstrated to me that TRD is committed to insightful coverage that informs its audience by peeling back the layers on a sometimes opaque market. The incredible amount of hard work that goes into such a feature story — from reporters, researchers, editors, designers and countless others — is not something to take lightly in today’s media world, where in-depth projects at the daily and monthly level can often fall by the wayside amid the ever-present competition for clicks and readers. That’s not the case at TRD, and as a relative newbie to the real estate beat, I hope to uphold that standard.

Ina Cordle, South Florida managing editor | Florida governor’s race: DeSantis defeats Gillum

It was a night to remember: In one of the most closely watched races in the country, former Rep. Ron DeSantis won the tight race for governor of Florida, defeating Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. Katherine Kallergis and I were each watching the election results during the night. Katherine had written profiles of the candidates for our magazine, including on deep-pocketed real estate investors Jeff Greene and Philip Levine, and had pulled together all the campaign contributions from the real estate industry. When Gillum conceded and gave an emotional speech about 11 p.m., we knew it was time to post the election results. As DeSantis’ gave his victory speech, Katherine quickly finished writing the story, and I edited it. It posted at 11:44 p.m.

Katherine Kallergis, South Florida associate web editor | Rough Cut

I don’t think I can pick just one (“When the glass ceiling won’t break,” “Kushner unfiltered,” and “The death of the brokerage” are a few of my top TRD reads this year), but senior reporter Konrad Putzier’s magazine story on how the diamond trade has influenced New York City’s real estate market was one of my favorites. It’s an in-depth look at the parallels between both industries and a number of developers “previous lives,” which are often forgotten about or hidden but end up explaining so much. The story, which includes money laundering, cartels, secret backers, had all the elements of a great TRD feature with strong research and historical context.

John O’Brien, Chicago managing editor | As developers cash in on Logan Square, one property owner has become the face of gentrification

TRD’s first year in Chicago has been filled with a number of memorable stories for me and the staff here, everything from serious politics (Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s real estate legacy as he heads for the exit) to just plain fun (a swimsuit calendar featuring male resi brokers, Michael Jordan’s mansion sale airball). But the most memorable for me was Alex Nitkin’s look at developer Mark Fishman, who has grown to become the face of gentrification in the Logan Square neighborhood. Fishman owns a number of properties in the area, where rents and home prices alike have been growing significantly. Many outlets have written about him and his properties and the protests surrounding them, but no one sought to go beyond the vilification of Fishman until Alex did. What he found was other developers and investors who’ve raised rents as much or more than Fishman. I talked to a number of respected journalists here about the story, and they all said it was the first truly fair portrayal of Fishman and what’s happening in Logan Square. That fairness and journalistic integrity are among the qualities we hope to keep bringing to Chicago in our second year here.

Alexei Barrionuevo, Los Angeles managing editor | Who is Tejon Ranch? A NY-backed firm plots massive communities in California

Natalie Hoberman dug into the backers and backstory of Tejon Ranch, the company trying to develop massive master planned communities about 60 minutes outside of Los Angeles. The developments — one of which the county board of supervisors has approved since Natalie’s story — could shape an otherwise untouched slice of California. The two-decade struggle to get them approved has come to symbolize the tension between the need to alleviate L.A.’s housing shortage and the fears over creating new urban sprawl.

Natalie detailed how Tejon Ranch is backed by Wall Street money, including a scion of the Tisch Family. And she traced the fascinating history of the company back to the Chandler family and the end of the Mexican-American War, when California’s first Superintendent of Indian Affairs established a military outpost meant to supervise the Indian tribes on the land.

It’s worth checking out. It’s an example of the kind of story-behind-the story that we plan to do more of in 2019.
