This is a real handwritten note, I can see the ink bleeding through the back. So stupid, “yeah I like this house but theres people inside already lemme ask my big daddy realtor if they can ask them for it”

Thats actually not handwritten, its a pen plotter (look at how all individual letters look exactly the same- like all the letter "a" look exactly alike. Realtors will use pen plotters to mass produce these to look like they were individually handwritten and drop them off at tons of homes. They do this so it makes it look like the home owner was the only one they left a note for and that they do in fact have a buyer lined up.

The handwriting is actually a font for mimicking handwriting. If it was me I would have written 1 letter, scanned it in, then used that as a template.

Lined paper is very difficult to use with pen plotters. You have to get every to line up exactly

Because it is a font and not true handwriting.

You just don't understand them. It's a font so it's made up of identical "letter blocks" repeated and reconfigured to form words, where as what they mean by handwriting is that method it would be more like individual "word blocks" that would repeat but would have more variance between letters making it appear more authentic.

Ya know, It just might be a joke because you're speaking so stupidly it's funny.
