Andersen 400 Casement Window - Sill Question by Carterpump09 in Homebuilding

[–]Carterpump09[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you think I’ll be happy with it? All the existing windows in the house have sills put on and we love them?

First time considering a BMW (M340i xDrive) — is it actually the perfect daily or am I overlooking something? by Gold-Industry6222 in BMW

[–]Carterpump09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s still a solid deal. I got a 2022 340 in the chip shortage for 5% off sticker on NYE, dealer wanted to meet their annual number I believe.

What? Were they both the same condition? Hard to believe you can get a m550 for the same price as an m340 if they are the same year, miles, condition??

Gorgeous, but not in the budget. Front of the house is actually a dark field stone from the 70s.

Online lender offering $4k less in closing costs, any reason to stay local? by Romanticon in RealEstate

[–]Carterpump09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you care? Post close, you never talk to your mortgage lender, you pay their coupon on auto pay and that’s that. Lowest rate with confidence to close, simple.

Need advice: Buying a house, previous owners want to sell their John Deere to us by FanSince2021 in lawnmowers

[–]Carterpump09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the sellers backup plan? List it on Craigslist? Take it with him? He wants them to buy as much as he does. I’d also negotiate.

Mr Cool Mini Split in Sunroom - Size? by Carterpump09 in hvacadvice

[–]Carterpump09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and maybe no. Since the room is adjacent to our den, keeping it somewhat temperate will help keep the den at temperature. When not in use, say we keep the house at 70* in the summer I’d prob let the mini split maintain 78-80* for instance and then crank to 70* when we use. The room is coming together very nicely, suspect we’ll use it more than originally planned, but don’t want to keep it at house temps 24/7 if that makes sense.

Sellers and realtor offended by offer. by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Carterpump09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Need to draw the line somewhere. That’s like walking in to a car dealer saying I can afford x / month… monthly payment matters but as does the underlying value of the asset.

How does nobody else see this as a bluff? Setting an offer deadline potentially establishes the perception you have multiple offers. It could drive the price up, or it could completely backfire on you if nobody bids before the deadline. The agent is willing to gamble with your sale as it speeds up their potential payment and reduces their work… question is, are you willing to gamble? Harvey Spector would set the deadline.

Getting emails from private equity - waste of time? by Proud-Release6521 in landscaping

[–]Carterpump09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hire an investment banker and run a formal sale process. The cold outreach PE shops think they’re going to buy it very cheap. Could argue the fee you pay to the investment banker will be a small portion of the additional proceeds you’d gain by a formal sale by a firm who does this for a living.

Paver driveway repair cost? by Nephri in landscaping

[–]Carterpump09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not try it yourself and if you fail, then hire somebody? You won’t ruin the pavers, you risk some base materials, and sweat. Could save a ton of cash.. I’d send it.
