Jurgis Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Buffett should Zuckerberg that house asap. Yes, that's a verb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tengen Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Didn't a lunch with Buffet get auctioned by a charity for $1 million last year? If time with WB is that valuable, I'd buy the house and invite Warren to dinner as often as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfp Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Omaha is obviously a very inexpensive housing market, but that house is certainly very dated. Radiators, carpet, old kitchen, baths, etc.. http://thegoodlifegroup.npdodge.com/property/39862762/306-S-54-Street-Omaha-NE-68132 What was the asking? Thanks. Wow only $370k...

If time with WB is that valuable, I'd buy the house and invite Warren to dinner as often as possible. That's why I suggested for Buffett to Zuckerberg it. ;) If I was aspiring money manager, I'd grab it without thinking. OMG what opportunities. Better than a lunch for $1M. Seriously. The guys here who want to go to the top should really consider this. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd make you look like a stalker and a creep if a HF manager just so happened to buy it and started "bumping" into Buffett all the time. It may not seem like it, but Buffett is a human just like the rest of us and deserves to be treated like one. I hope it's bought legitimately and folks leave the guy alone to enjoy his twilight years as best he can. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobafdek Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Donald Keough's house?, i.e., estate sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustabound Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Read the lines below the sale sign :) Also attached is a bunch of members on this message board at Piccolo's last night, enjoy and cheers! So who is who in the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfp Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 No, it's somebody else. Has been in the same family for 50 years Donald Keough's house?, i.e., estate sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgis Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I know you're joking, but I don't think that'd work. It'd make you look like a stalker and a creep... No, actually I am not joking. You presume that anyone who'd do it would look like a creep. I disagree. It's possible to buy that house and get to know Buffett nicely. (Yes, running across the street on a move-in day to share your stock pick is possibly not the way to go ;) ) There's been a bunch of people who have met with Buffett in various circumstances and have benefited from it. In some cases (Ted, Todd, Tracy), Buffett benefited from meeting them too. I'm not saying it's easy. But, yes, it's a great opportunity for a right person. Whether anyone will take it, we'll see. ;) Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookie71 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 With his security detail it might be hard to just run into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopheles Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I saw somewhere that there is a house across the street where the owner is asking for 10 A shares, so now I'm confused. Was that a parody/joke? Or are there two houses for sale there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think if you want to benefit from Buffett (Ted, Todd, etc.), you need to be able to offer something extraordinary. If you are that extraordinary, then just write him a letter explaining the wonderful opportunity to meet with you. I am sure you will be the first.

Jurgis Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Now I almost want to buy that house to prove naysayers on this board wrong. 8) ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, running across the street on a move-in day to share your stock pick is possibly not the way to go ;) ) Yes, I presume you'd look like a creep. Because you would be a creep. And it'd be really obvious the motivation if some hedge fund manager bought the place and was like, "oh, what, the Warren Buffet lives next door? I had no idea. What are the odds?" Social intelligence is a real thing. You can ignore it if you're rich and most people will pretty much give you a pass, but otherwise, doing so is really not in your best interest.

So let me agree with you that this is not the way to do it and finish with that. 8) There are good way(s) to do it. But let's have prospective buyers find them themselves. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's why Zuckerberg Zuckerberged his neighbors... Nice house I have to say. Not worth $2.16M though. The other house seems underpriced, that one seems overpriced. The website shows a complete lack of class, no one who would want to live near WEB is going to want to pay more than a house is worth to some jerk who would put up such a website. Just my opinion of course. Maybe they'll sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least be discreet and ask for a high cash price instead of A shares, and make just one mention of Buffett instead of dedicating half the site to it!
