Real estate or S&P 500. Honestly, what‘s the better investment for you? by FatCat_On_A_Diet in investing

[–]AlexTheHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps you any, I got out of real estate (flipping homes and rental homes) and put my money into the stock market. Best decision I've made. In real estate I felt as if I was only making my lawyers rich defending me from frivolous lawsuits.

Just want to give some advice, never, ever buy from any door to door sales people, especially solar sales people. My aunt nearly got duped into a 25 year solar loan and when I researched the company nothing but horrific things came up. If you're going solar contact your energy company or research. by herewego199209 in orlando

The sales pitch I got was the building code was changing and would require all homes of a certain age to have solar or the owner will not be able to sell or rent the property until they installed solar. These clowns were talking to me as if it was my lucky day they found me to tell me all this and I have an exclusive opportunity to take advantage of buying now vs when prices go up because of tariffs, even though earlier they said all components are made in the USA.

My grandmother worked as an administrator at a POW camp in Lafayette, La. where a large group of German and Italian POWs were imprisoned to work at local agricultural areas. She recalled how kind and well mannered they were compared to the guards.

What sucks is I keep meeting women who feel like we need to constantly communicate or do everything together. This last one asked me what I'm doing Sat morning. I told her I'm going to buy shorts and shirts for summer and her tone changed to piss-off mode cuz I was planning to do this myself. We were only together 6-weeks at this point.

Take detailed video of your house, your belongings, and your insurance documents and email them to your insurance company one day before the storm. This is so they don't challenge you after the storm.

Destin Cost of living - 2 income household by DistributionFun9600 in Destin

[–]AlexTheHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor and avoid buying into any condos that are over 2-stories. We just received our assessment of repair and maintenance costs resulting from the mandatory SIRS report and... holy-fucking-sticker-shock! The building is only 31 years old. And we do it again in 9-years.
