intelligence is a subjective term in my vernacular.

I hope you dont plan on buying a house! Its pretty common to "make an offer". What you are saying is that one should always pay asking price! I dont think I could do that.

Well, I bought a house two years ago. I am a novice in that industry. I had faith that I would make money. Sad to say that I only made $20,000 on the deal.

I bought it at auction, I fixed it with a little help from my friends and then sold it for a $20,000 profit. What don't you understand about the process?

A lot of times they're just random numbers and letters, but occasionally you'll see them with two extremely odd words.

Well then you attempt to counter my point failed horribly. You did not make $20k buying, you made it by selling.
