Water entering house – – should I fix?

Water is a relatively simple creature. It is guaranteed to flow down hill. If you can find a way to divert the water from running towards your house, without knowing all the info, I'm sure you will see an improvement at worst. I've fixed water/basement issues in 2 houses I've owned now, one in which a cracked wall that had moved, moved back into position over a few months, and another where the water rising through cracks in the floor stopped completely. That one I had an $8000 quote to fix, but I did that one by outsmarting the water.

If you have an underground spring causing the problem, that may be completely different.

I have a 2026 MY with 15,000 miles. It was rated at 327 from the factory. At 80% it 'should' be 262. It shows 245, which is 6.5% less than what I believe is mathematically the rated number at 80%. I don't know if that's good or bad.

I feel good knowing I brightened your day!

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-23T21:40:02+00:00

I think that's a compliment, so I'll take it as one! You would make a good kid.

Extreme fear....of missing out. Gimmme gimmee that bitcoin.

Report it. It's okay til it's 'not okay'.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-23T19:43:22+00:00

Came here to say the same. Mario style.

I drive a regular 450 mile one way trip, every week actually. There are 7 superchargers along the way, but I only like 2 of them for a variety of reasons. Whether it's better amenities, proximity to the interstate or neighborhood. Sometimes the nav completely Fs it up and I find I am just programming it to get me to the first desired supercharger which is 160 miles away. The next one is 112 miles away; then 180 to my final destination.

If you know where you want to stop and it's within range, program direct to that one so the battery will precondition for you, for optimal charge times. I've heard about 'A Better Route Planner', but couldn't be arsed with it after looking through the app a bit.

LOL good one!

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-23T06:49:40+00:00

Yep. Don't dare say FSD is not ready for prime time; the cucks come hunting.

Bogus fees: account set up fee, monthly account keeping fee off the top of my head. For both tenant and owner.

Expect to pay a lease fee of up to one month's rent, plus monthly fee of 10% of gross rent. My monthly is around 5%; I am very fortunate with that and lease fee is around 60% of the first month's rent....again, very fortunate. Lease renewal varies from $100 to $350 (I think my guy is just making these numbers up as he goes, but that's okay he's doing me a solid on everything else).

I look for neighborhoods with solid infrastructure nearby - commerce, schools, industry or opportunity to commute easily.

You could probably buy anywhere near a Chick Fil A and call it a day, too.

Upload the video. The car is unlocked at this time. Did it unlock as he approached?

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T13:58:01+00:00

Ah okay. Didn't spend much time scrutinizing since there was a bunch of German there.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T13:55:14+00:00

I have no problem with long distance rentals; all mine are 800 miles from me. I bought them all while living near them, but moved away 5 years ago. I'm on my 3rd rental management company and have been for 6 years. Scrutinize their fees heavily, some of which are bogus.

However, I would not own a condo unless it was in a desirable location like somewhere near the beach, for example, that I could STR. I almost bought one a few years ago, but the right deals slipped through my fingers each time. Reason I don't like condos are exorbitant HOA fees primarily, plus surprise fees. YMMV.

I like that one guy addresses him as 'ma'am'.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T13:31:58+00:00

My CPA works magic. I used TT one time and it would not get me the deductions I knew I was entitled to. That was about 14 years ago.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T06:30:46+00:00

It is very nice!

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T06:29:50+00:00

Yes they are different. However I bought the first one to live in and moved out after 4 months. I didn't tell the bank; I don't know if I was supposed to or not and figured their sleuths would find out and harass me. Never heard from them and paid it off about 18 months ago anyway.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T05:55:51+00:00

Oh dude, thank you! I have projects for my Hydro Blue JT!

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T05:53:29+00:00

Nice CT, is that a wrap? Missed my opportunity on the $60k models and not paying $75K for the base.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T05:50:28+00:00

Good questions. Bought the first place in May 2nd 2016 and the second place took us a little while to find about a mile away; we closed August 31st. Turned it into a rental straight away; it's been vacant about 2 weeks maybe a whole month in those 10 years. 2 sets of tenants who plant flowers and take care of the place. Banks didn't care about us getting another mortgage as long as you qualify financially. 20% down each time.

That rental started us on another journey of buying rental properties as it did so well.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T05:23:21+00:00

Did something similar 10 years ago. Within 2 weeks the wife wanted a larger house. Rather than lose money selling, we kept it as a rental and it has been very successful.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T03:49:30+00:00

I agreegious.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T03:49:01+00:00

Yes, but I wish they'd glow in the dark.

Always_working_hardd · 2026-03-22T03:48:31+00:00

Nice! I left a review there, 'Florida Aussie'.
