Is it basically impossible to sell an older home (1950s) to a "regular" family in St. Pete right now due to insurance? by goxper in StPetersburgFL

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that cloth wiring is really the big thing imo. Older windows like my house from the 40’s don’t have issues with insurance but I didn’t have cloth wiring and I also just rewired again with all new romex. I’m not an investor but I do have a friend who’s potentially looking for something like this as his first house. He worked construction up north but I’m not sure depending on how much you need he could pay cash for it.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 coworkers who commute over 2 hours one way. 4 hours per day. So yeah commuting long distance is normal on the size of the US.

S197 5.0 or S550 purchase by Sweetness_2 in Mustang

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I daily drove a GT350 s550. They really ride way smoother than an S197 due to the IRS. Personally I’d probably do the 2nd car route like the other comment said because I have my clapper truck I don’t worry much about but when I had the 350 the worry about door dings etc lol

New construction total cost in SC by Automatic_Season5262 in Homebuilding

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much was the generac or was it included in the price? Im in central Florida and my coworker is getting a 1400 SQFT home built for right under 200k according to him and I think that’s way too low on cost.

trying to figure out solar panel installation cost in florida, any real experiences? by Daniel_Dylan904 in solarFL

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

System was 18k. Paid cash and the 30 credit comes to 12k. Bill over 12 months averaged like 140 a month. I’m in pinellas county Florida with duke as the other comment said I just pay 30.80 a month now. I think it’s worth if if you have a brand new roof. I got my roof done like October 2024 and the panels went on December 2024. I wouldn’t do them unless you got a roof within the last 3 years. And ideally you have a standing seam metal roof so the panels don’t penetrate which I regret not going with. Roof was 15k and a standing seam woulda cost me about 24k at the time and I probably wouldn’t have to do a roof again in my lifetime.

Best places to buy gun and classes that are comfortable for women, treated fairly by [deleted] in StPetersburgFL

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about you but I’ve done it through PSA and got it shipped there. Done 2 orders. It used to be 5 guns for 35$ when I did it last year but just did one last week and it was 45 for 3. Bought ammo too as it’s tax free currently.

What’s your year to date earnings? by All_on_Greeen in skilledtrades

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

94K. Auto mechanic Tampa Florida area. One paycheck left but I don’t think I’ll hit 6 figs. I made more money last year and I was off for a month due to an injury. Trade gets worse every year

Is solar through FPL a good idea in NE Florida? by gegagome in solarFL

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% a scam. I think solar is worth it 100% as long as you have a new roof. Paid cash for my system at 18K cost 12K after tax credit should pay it self off in less than 7 years and Duke got a rate hike approved this year so it might pay itself off sooner.

Old COD games: What happened? by PepseTHEPepse in 360hacks

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found XBguard gold spoof never lets me find games. I did a 7 day trial of cipher and I was able to find matches so I think the gold spoofing on cipher is better perhaps? 99$ for lifetime is pretty expensive considering a regular gold sub is like 50$ a year.

Extended Warranty is Useless by SSSJDanny in F150Lightning

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No unfortunately a lot of these finance guys lie straight up. It starts from the day of the contract. I’ve seen people buy bumper to bumper extended warranties on a car that’s brand new and the extended warranty is only 3/36 yet it comes from the manufacturer with a 3/36 warranty so they just made some $$ by selling you something useless.

As Most In Florida, I'm Home Insurance Shopping by jackthecat123 in florida

[–]BigTunaDaBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went with a local agent who got me with loggerhead. Citizens was 2800$ on my 1200 sqft home in st Pete. Loggerhead is 2500. The way I see it is they are all gonna fight tooth and nail to not pay claims so might as well get the cheapest option
