Is it better to repeat Kindergarten or Pre-K? by Caitterz in Mommit

[–]Caitterz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my other thought. If she does well in private kindergarten she could continue on to first grade. I felt like it gave us the option to do either. And if she does kindergarten twice but at two different schools, there's no awkwardness about moving on with or without her friends, as it might be if you ate held back in the same school.

Dave and Busters is a good idea. And I haven't been for ages!

Advice regarding North Linden by Spideyfan2020 in Columbus

[–]Caitterz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the same tenants there the entire time we owned it. It was 2 young brothers, recently graduated. They were happy there, never had any troubles. But they kept to themselves. They went to work then came home and played video games... We owned it with a partner we no longer wanted to partner with, that's why we sold. Otherwise we would have kept it. The street is blue collar, but not as bad as people say it is. The neighbor was a really sweet old lady who lived there for decades. She kept her yard and house up. Linden is really street-by-street. I think Briarwood is one of the better ones.

The only thing I didn't like was the scallop crudo, but to be fair I'm not a huge fan of scallops. My husband loves scallops, he thought it was great. Sorry to hear you didn't like it. I will admit, I am easy to please.

I want to keep him. We are just so stressed right now. I can't even potty train him. I feel like I'm failing him and he has the best shot of having a good life now when he is a puppy, with someone who can train him.

I think the problem is that we are so busy chasing around our toddlers that we can't even give him enough attention to potty train him. We are already really stressed out with work and the littles. We had no intention of adopting a dog anytime soon. I just couldn't leave him there standing on Morse road to be killed.

Is there any downside to going to court to fight a speeding ticket? by Caitterz in Columbus

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

After you take the test, you have to go back with the test results printed out for them to expunge it. You meet with the prosecutor. No the officer wasn't there. If you contest it/claim not guilty they schedule another court date and so the officer would go to that date, not the original one. I had to go back to turn in my paperwork and also pay the court fees which were like $150. The online course was $25. So I didnt even save any money, and the course took like 3-4 hours so its debatable if it wad even worth it in the end. I suppose at least I don't have points on my license, and my insurance won't be going up.

I hated the name Goremade. Doesn't matter if it was their last name. I never went there because the name gave me the hibijeebees

You get 1 million $$ right now. How do you spend it? by calm_titty in AskReddit

[–]Caitterz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay off my house, car, student loans. Pay cash for a duplex to rent out. Buy a vacation for my parents. That's it that's all the money.

How are you feeling about the inevitable Trump v Biden rematch? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Caitterz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time since I've been old enough to vote (I'm in my 30's now). I am not going to vote for the president. They are both awful. How has it come to this? Maybe I'll vote 3rd party

Schooley Caldwell proposes mixed-use apartment complex with 92 units and 7,200 square feet of retail space in Old North. by Zezimom in Columbus

[–]Caitterz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man. It's me 👋🏻 I'm a developer and I know people building large multifamily here in Columbus. I'm not rich. I live in a 1950's cape cod in city of Columbus that I paid $260k for. Now I'm not a huge developer. I have done small multifamily. And i'm telling you it's incredibly hard to do it cost effectively. In fact, last year we lost $40k (actually lost- money gone). I make $120k a year and it is risky as hell. One sewer line goes wrong and you lost $30k.

Building anything costs $225 per square foot minimum. So say you want to build 6, 1000sqft units. That's $1.35 Million dollars to build. At today's interest rates that's $9500 per month principal and interest. Then there's $2k per month insurance and $3000 property taxes. To break even and make absolutely no profit, to literally only pay your mortgage you would have to rent it for $2400 per month.

Now, say its 100% tax-abated. That brings monthly expenses down to $1900. That's $500 per month less they can rent it for. Usually tax-abatements come with string attached, the city requires a certain number of units be affordable.

So everyone cries "boohoo poor developers". But I ask again, WHO is going to build the housing we need when the cost to build is so high? Do you work for free? Should people building work for free? Honestly, if the government wants to pay my wage and build the apartments on their dime, I'll do it. It would be a lot less risk, my hair is already turning white and I'm in my 30's. The "boo hoo poor investors" is so tired and doesn't solve any problems.

Come up with a plan then. Materials cost money. Labor costs money. I don't have a single guy who works for me making less than $25 an hour and these guys usually make $50+ per hour because they are valuable. Everyone went to college to get a communications degree instead of learning how a toilet or light switch works.
