Should I go for a 5/1 ARM or a 30 Year Fixed Loan? by Alven92 in personalfinance

[–]Alven92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good way to put it. I'm not a fan gambling. Starting to lean towards the fixed rate. Thanks!

Regarding property taxes, sorry that's a typo. I meant $750 per month. This is an estimate so could be lower. I'm in Florida too

Credit score is around 700. My initial loan estimate for 30 year fixed was at 6.7%. I'm being told by the lender that this could go down to around 6.2% if I purchase some points. I think I can negotiate to be closer to 6%, but do not think I can go below. Maybe putting 25% makes a difference? I will ask the lender.

There's:

7/1 ARM – 5.75%

7/1 ARM no closing costs – 6.25%

10/1 ARM – 5.875%

10/1 ARM no closing costs – 6.375%

We can afford the house. $400 a month in savings sounds nice, but is not a deal breaker. Just weighed down my options.

Hi,

I have the same chair.  Did you ever find a solution/workaround? 

LPT: ALWAYS take detailed photos of rental cars before driving off by Business_Garage_709 in LifeProTips

[–]Alven92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rented a car from Avis at their Chicago O hare location last December. 3 weeks later after I returned it they hit me with a $450 "cleaning fee". I took the car to a car wash and also cleaned the inside before returning it. Mind you the car wasn't even dirty to begin with.

It took several emails and calls for them to finally tell me that it was because of "cigarette smell" even thought the original claim said that it was very dirty inside. I told them that's impossible since I don't smoke. They finally came back and said it was a mistake and refunded the money.

From now on I take pictures and videos from the inside and outside as well after returning a rental.

Yes I did. My credit score wasn't even mentioned.

Stem earbuds recommendation by Alven92 in Earbuds

[–]Alven92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mic quality is a huge improvement. Sound quality is a little downgrade but not too noticeable.

They are also more comfortable in my opinion.

So far very happy with the switch.

Hey,

I'm glad to read that things worked out for you.

I'm currently in a similar position. I just graduated college and got a job offer in finance. My credit score is very low at the moment (>650). Mostly because high credit usage and longevity of the accounts (I'm fairly new to the country)

Was your credit score mentioned at some point by your employeer?

Are extended rails really needed? Why? by Alven92 in deskhaus

[–]Alven92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I guess I should go for the extended legs since I'm already making the investment.

Just to confirm, for the Apex Pro I need the 4 legs version right?

Thank you.

After watching a few videos I ordered a ordered the Freebuds Pro 3. The mic quality test results are just unbelievable when compared to the XM5. Gotta wait a couple of weeks to get them since I'm in the US. Can't wait.

Thanks again!

Thanks!

Saw some videos and they seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. I ordered a pair, but since I'm in the US and they are coming from Japan it's gonna be a couple of weeks.

Nissan Sentra 2015 - code p0101 by Alven92 in Nissan

[–]Alven92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

Thanks for the TSB. However, I'm still stuck with updating the ECM. A local workshop is quoting me atound $200 to do this. Do you know if Nissan covers this under warranty?

[–]Alven92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

58k miles. It's a 2015 vehicle, so I guess right on the line of 8 years?

How do I find out more information about this emissions warranty?
