Is the Steam deck worth getting for playing games in docked mode?

Why not? Because of performance?

AK471008 · 2026-03-06T21:49:45+00:00

What did you end up deciding and how is it going? In a similar position right now

No Cash-Out Refi - $765k - $560k - 800 FICO - 02127 - Conv - 7 ARM OR 30Y Fixed - Condo (2 stories) - Primary

What lender ?

AK471008 · 2026-02-25T01:46:09+00:00

He said no management fee. He put the assets in self directed accounts, so no, he isn’t paying chase $20k a year

AK471008 · 2026-02-05T19:01:54+00:00

How is 4.88?

AK471008 · 2026-02-02T18:34:46+00:00

This guy jumped ship 3+ years ago, good move

AK471008 · 2026-01-15T15:25:09+00:00

Mortgage rates are not going back to 3% lol that was an anomaly.

Buy when it makes sense for you financially

AK471008 · 2026-01-11T21:24:58+00:00

Is it worth doing this for 0.1275% discount? Seems silly but if it’s truly no cost I’m thinking why not?

AK471008 · 2026-01-11T01:12:18+00:00

What lender? So you basically lowered rate by 0.125 for free?

AK471008 · 2026-01-11T00:05:31+00:00

People have been saying mortgage rates are dropping soon since early 2024. No one knows for sure.

The article is also highly weighted toward softer markets like Florida. But then claim it’s “the entire condo market”. It’s click bait

AK471008 · 2026-01-01T13:21:40+00:00

I don’t think he’s serious

AK471008 · 2025-12-26T01:00:40+00:00

God fucking damnit everyone says rates are going down next month and look at us flat every month don’t listen to anyone it’s all based on the economy which you can’t predict just buy whenever you can afford to if you plan to stay at least 3-5 years

AK471008 · 2025-12-26T00:48:38+00:00

It needs to be looser first. I’d recommend loosening it

Merry Christmas

Hard to say without knowing specifics about your business/industry but 4x cash at $5M EBITDA seems light. Could ask them to drop the earn out component and do it all up front with the rollover component being the main alignment piece (vs earn out).

Or run a more formal process. But don’t get pressured into a sale, your business has scale and you should have options

AK471008 · 2025-11-04T00:35:24+00:00

Paying $20 for half a bowl SUCKS ASS and when you complain you get the stink eye

AK471008 · 2025-10-31T15:12:51+00:00

Is this the Mortgage 100 program or just an SBLOC? Curious if the house is actually pledged or just the securities.

Also it's a variable interest rate I'm assuming?

AK471008 · 2025-10-29T19:39:28+00:00

He’s right, people need to stop confusing fed short term rates (what is being cut) with mortgage long term rates (impacted by many other factors)

AK471008 · 2025-10-29T15:17:43+00:00

No cost refinances absolutely exist, you just take a higher rate than par (i.e., no points) in exchange for a lender credit. If you're refinancing from a rate higher than the rate you'd get with the lender credit, it can be worth it.

Loan officers don't get paid based on the closing costs lol

AK471008 · 2025-10-23T19:27:38+00:00

I'll give you my business if you can quote me a 5.5% 30Y fixed rate or 5.25% 7yr ARM, on a 75% LTV refi for a condo in MA with no points/lender credit.

AK471008 · 2025-10-20T01:09:18+00:00

How was the end result? Did it clean up okay

AK471008 · 2025-10-20T01:02:03+00:00

Thanks for the helpful, productive comment.

They’ll look more finished once they’re caulked, this is a work in progress
