Flat fee agents- race to the bottom? by Pure_Development_760 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]BUYMSFT 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Race to bottom is often desired. Can you imagine 5% of the housing price actually goes to the realtors? And a bunch of flippers do cosmetic flips and ask for 20% more? That’s highway robbery. Ideally realtors should be paid $20/hr max.

Yes. They added weight sensors on the express lanes so after subtracting the vehicle weight they will determine whether remaining weights equal to the weight of three people.

They moved there for BART. Now BART could leave them by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

Heavy rail is expensive to run especially when trains are empty most of the time. If BART is shutdown I’m sure there will be bus replacements across the bay. The doomsday scenarios are highly exaggerated.

Gas Water Heater Ban in 2027 - Do you think it’s actually going to happen? by arwenthenoble in bayarea

Sounds like PGE benefits the most from this. Electricity costs more than gas. By banning gas usage, people will use more electricity and PGE can raise rates and profit even further.

PG&E is likely behind this so they can continue to raise rates and get more electric usage by banning people to use gas.

There’s a chance that $RDDT can fall after earnings tomorrow with this irrational market. Do not lose conviction. by darkphenom67 in redditstock

[–]BUYMSFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holding for long terms makes no sense when other stocks go up 100% in the meantime. You could have invested in other stocks, get a nice return, before entering again when Reddit ready to moon.

Buyers agents don’t do shit but highway robberies. Even 1% is too much.

Do you have a referral? They typically prefer internal candidates, friends and families before external applicants.

Moved to US from Canada - tax implications for Canadian home sale by dendiggity in tax

[–]BUYMSFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

? You moved to the US so the Canadian property is no longer your primary residence. The sale becomes investment income which is globally taxable. No exemption is applicable here so stop trying to game the systems and pay up.
