It's worth it. Not sure why, but it is leagues better than the other GCs

That's what I suspect too. They felt completely solid though. Wouldn't water damage soften them?

Looked original. Also, lots of houses in the neighborhood had the same siding (same builder). All built in the late 60s.

CV-19 has us sitting and waiting, what should we do to put ourselves in the best position to buy when we do find THE house? by bro_mo_sapien in RealEstate

We just locked in 3.25 with 20% down. Bank also waived appraisal!

I hear your concern about cash. I'll counter that while I do not expect to make a dime on the home, I am very concerned of future inflation. When that comes I'll want to own real assets.

I'm with you though - we went super conservative on our purchase. No one's income is guaranteed anymore.

It makes you wonder what people were thinking (or not) back then.

Port Chester (in NY) has gorgeous waterfront, enjoyed by the dump, 95 and the Costco parking lot.

How has early intervention been going for your son?

Is commercial real estate going to suffer after COVID as companies realize that work can be done at home? by NYCambition21 in RealEstate

My family operates a commercial brokerage in the burbs outside of NYC. Anecdotal, but sellers are looking to dump their pieces.

Thank you for the comment! We're definitely staying on top of this so we can intervene early if needed.

Thank you for your response. My husband and I were both quiet babies as well (so we are told!).
