College Life

Have you ever seen those signs in person, either on billboards or on hand-written posters placed on telephone poles that advertise things like “sell a house fast” or “we buy houses for cash“?  I never really tend to believe them because they always seem too good to be true.  I think their advantage, though, is that they always offer cash deals and move really quickly, I mean really quickly… that’s how they justify the possibly lower prices they offer for homes.

I obviously don’t need it now and probably won’t even after college, but I still wonder how many people use services such as these because there are sooo many companies in the market.  It must be really profitable considering how much interest there is in the industry, but it must also work out well for consumers who just need to pick up, take cash and leave.  Anyway, it’s interesting to see stuff like this in both the online and offline world.

Not exactly necessary at Harvard, though :), considering something like 97% of us live on-campus.
