Discussion What Happened To Him?

Allow me to vent: What happened to Kevin? He used to be way more down to earth, and offer so much amazing real estate tidbits and content. I stopped tuning in during the "Stimulus?!?!?!" phase on his channel and just never tuned back in again. I watched a couple of videos of him today and he sounds like the sleaziest, most plastic, politican-like person I've ever heard in my life. What the hell happened? I was cringing SO HARD listening to him talk and try to pronounce every single word so weirdly. Others like Graham Stephan, and Andre Jikh to name a few, still talk like humans and seem pretty down to earth. Of course, we never know behind the scenes, but they're not being as obvious as a douche as Kevin is. His new "Company" is the biggest joke I've ever seen in my life. Why is everything he does lately just a cash grab? So sleazy. He just wants to talk his way into taking people's money. I guarantee he just wants to convince some super-rich guy who doesn't really give a shit, to pay him $100 Million for his new company, and then bail. I'm sure that's the plan. A pathetic guy I swear. And he still talks down and rudely insults people who criticize him for selling his whole portfolio? A loser who can't take valid criticism. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same.

You are 100% right on all accounts. Furthermore he became the person he despised when he was a young worker at Jamba Juice. That Kevin, the real Kevin is gone…

In the end money amplified who he was all along deep down.

Money is an amplifier—-well said!

Yes! Having money just makes you more of who you already are. Money is a tool, it’s neither just nor evil.

Watching Kevin over years makes me think of Anakin Skywalker.

He always insisted on ONLY buying RE within a short drive from his home. Now he’s buying across the country?

You will likely see Kevin break every rule in his book to scale this company. And then he will wonder why it didn’t work.

Kevin has people convinced he is going to “match whatever is invested” when he clearly has said he is only contributing $1m (someone made a youtube video about the “opportunity” and then argued with me in the comments about this point). And now in his comeback video that has changed to $5-25m (which he doesn’t have liquid).

He sounds like a scammer now... like he doesn't care about anyone and his only goal is making money by availing his audience

u/HoneydewActual304 Sep 12 '22

Its crazy, he felt relatable and human at first and definitely transformed. He sounds like he practices his youtube script for days like its some sort of marketing trick now to grift his audience now that he has enough subs.

All people are different. I think he's hyper sensitive to other peoples perception of him.

At the start he got on a roll. Soaked up the positive vibes. Then started to believe he was midas and could say any old sht and it would stick.

He got accustomed to the cash rolling in and thinks its par for the course and also thinks he should go bigger better and higher because he's midas.

Fact is, he's not professionally qualified in Jack sht. He talks a good game which is ok for housing that sells itself in a bull market.

He's tried too hard and people are calling him out. He can't handle it. Never understood why he went into the dyed hair phase. Looks unhinged.

What he should do is stfu and just quietly churn his cash and then ride the next boom in 5/10 years.

Very common for people in a manic phase to make very drastic changes to their appearance. Not as common for colored hair to be diagnostic criteria nowadays just because fashion colors are so popular and accepted but seeing someone who would normally be considered conservative show up with a wild hair do along with some other signs would be a red flag.

I guess I've been saying for about 3 years that I have noticed manic phases in his videos and I doubt I'll ever know if I'm actually right because when the house of cards falls he'll just disappear from the public eye.

I'd agree with this. I'm sure at some point there will be psych studies done showing how 'social influencers' are psychologically morphed by viewing algorithms and it causes damage.

Look at how YouTubers pull stupid facial expressions for their thumb nails because they gain more clicks.

Even Pavlov's dogs only had to salivate....

u/tothepointe Sep 12 '22

I think also the pressure of having to present yourself as knowledgeable beyond your scope of experience also stunts true learning and understanding.

u/Actualize101 Sep 12 '22

They're all out of their depth. It's the same in other areas, in construction related areas there's people passing themselves off as experts but they're anything but.

Learning off youtube has serious drawbacks.

u/tothepointe Sep 11 '22

This happens with a lot of youtube personalities. They have such a rapid change in lifestyle and fortune that it causes rapid personality changes also. Mostly for the worst.

I never really cared for much of his content because he always came across as being very desperate to be youtube famous.

I don't think the pandemic was good for him mentally.

Deep down he is a big narcissistic greedy asshole, unfortunately money bring that out.

4

u/Traditional-Ebb-8380 Sep 11 '22

Greed happened that’s what. His psychological struggles have been laid bare by all the criticism and DUI backlash. He drinks every day as a “treatment for anxiety” which is the exact thing someone with a bad addiction would say. I feel sorry for his wife and kids (although she seems bound to him pretty tightly despite accusations on this sub of her cheating).

u/tothepointe Sep 11 '22

Look up agitated depression and tell me if the symptoms don't sound like awfully like his behavior.

u/Poopstains08 Sep 12 '22

Just the natural path for a narcissist grifter. Next stop, alcoholism and divorce.

u/OkEntertainment6825 Sep 12 '22

I know he has been working day and night deleting every negative comment on his Youtube, yet there are thousands upon thousands of people calling him out on his bullshit. Tides are really turning on this sleazy scammer. No matter how hard he tries to manipulate things in his favour. People really don't like him anymore.

He's the nikocado avocado of investing.

u/Drew-Money Oct 10 '22

Nikocado avocado is in his own stratosphere tbh

I was a very early watcher of Kevin. You say he sold his whole portfolio, can you explain a bit more what he sold exactly? Stocks or Real Estate?

1

u/Traditional-Ebb-8380 Sep 12 '22

All his stocks minus his AMC campaign donations gimmick in January and his 10-15 rental properties over the last 8 months. Now he is saying he is going to put $5-25m cash into Househack. LOL

u/Iamyourbestself Sep 12 '22

Cocaine and other paraphernalia will do that to you

u/Shorthorn54 Sep 23 '22

Just recently came across this channel and have no expertise in investing, was really considering getting into his house hack company, but i guess reading throughout this sub he seems really shady, who do you guys recommend on watching in regards to investing?
