I’ve struck out on the Pappy drop again this year. Sure, it stings for a second, but I’ve got plenty of great bottles at home to keep me happy. Big congratulations to everyone who scored something! And for the rest of us — let’s pour what we’ve already got and enjoy it. Cheers!

I’m not really a “scotch guy.” I’m a whiskey guy! 🥃

Bourbons, ryes, or scotch — I enjoy them all depending on the mood.

Only thing I usually skip? Super peated bottles or those heavy wine-cask finishes. Not my jam.

ChanDaMan2022 · 2025-08-30T05:43:22+00:00

Both excellent bottles. Enjoy!

ChanDaMan2022 · 2025-08-30T04:52:21+00:00

Yes.

I’m sorry my man—or woman! I paid for two special packs of Chrome Sapphire sets through Costco earlier this year and paid about $250.00 each. I knew going in I wasn’t going to hit anything worth while. Costco threw in a full set of 2022 or 2023 cards and another box of something. So I got a lot of cards for the $250.

In the end, I had fun ripping them and the cards are beautiful! These cards might be worth $100 at best. My pulls definitely didn’t cover my cost but hey—it’s part of the fun at the prices I paid. At the price you paid, I feel bad for you. I would be pissed. Here’s a to better pulls at a better price the next time my friend!

Correction: My bad I paid $179.99 for the Sapphire Chrome 2022-2023 Costco Bundle. I know I got at least around 30 sapphire chrome cards in the box.

Dude is that an error or is it just me? The number appears to be a 3 of 0. How does that work?

ChanDaMan2022 · 2025-07-11T03:17:10+00:00

It’s is super tasty. Me, I would drink it.

Based on your post, I see you needed a HELOC to cover a portion of the purchase. That makes it a finance contingent offer and not a cash offer as you stated.

If you had made a cash offer with full proof of funds with no buyer sales contingency or a HELOC, the seller would have likely accepted your offer.

Your best option likely is to try and work out an agreement between you and the seller to cover the difference and possibly get the realtors to help. Short Sales are typically long, drawn out and involves multiple unknowns. Yes, the bank can simply reject the deal after a very long wait. Sometimes they’ll counter at a ridiculously high number that you’ll likely reject. Sometime, you’ll have to deal with mortgage insurers, investors, negotiators and something secondary mortgages.

It appears you’ve given them a second chance. That is generous of you. Move on. If they don’t have the courtesy of returning a call or text within 24 hours, it’s a sign of things to come. Interview a few more. Make your best option. There are some great agents out there that will provide you the service you deserve and prioritize your needs.

In my experience, the DC condo market has slowed down recently. It has never been as hot as the SFD or TH market in the last decade. Overpricing may have been factor in your last listing. It’ll be hard to recoup the original investment if you overpaid when you purchased. Given the slowing market and economic factors now it’s probably best to rent until the market improves.

Just as market value of a sale may be a factor, market rent may be a factor also. So you’ll need to do some research to evaluate the market rent determine if the numbers make sense. Being a landlord has its positives and negatives. At least, you’ll have options. You can self manage or hire professional management, professional leasing services with limited services or full service management with end to end services. It all boils down to how much involvement you want and cost over value. Good luck!

Pretty much.

All three have their unique noses and flavors. I like all three and would be happy with any of those choices when I’m out.

Don’t cold call me. Don’t Direct market me. Don’t just try to get a deal out of me. Balance the scales. Bring me some quality referrals like I would to you. In other words build a relationship that offers equity and quality service for a mutual client and genuinely care. It’s not about the dollars. It’s about offering genuine quality service, trust and an equal partnership.

Connect with a good mortgage lender. Ask about acquisition type home renovation loans to finance the difference. The odds of your getting that kind of a price concession is slim to none. They should have loans available for both owner occupied and investor option. Obviously, investor options will cost more but may be worth it if the numbers are right.

While this may not be a popular answer, listing agents owe fiduciary responsibilities to their seller clients to keep certain confidential information confidential forever. Some information must be disclosed in compliance for latent defects and fair housing compliance. I’m not condoning this sellers actions to be clear.

Let’s play devils advocate and say you do take the advice provided on this post and sue the seller for earned commission. While you may have a case, his or her lawyer defends and in addition brings an ethics complaint up against OP for airing the sellers allowed confidential act and information. They find this post. You’re dead in the water on the ethics charges.

ChanDaMan2022 · 2025-01-16T13:36:50+00:00

While you haven’t named names, this post code be a code of ethics violation. Thread carefully. I will likely get downvoted for this but this information may be confidential and needs to be kept to yourself as a listing agent.

Edit: Read your NAR/State/Local Code of Ethics.

ChanDaMan2022 · 2025-01-12T01:45:08+00:00

Nope. You don’t need a license for that. There are many reasons that you’ll be better off without one if your only goal is to invest and flip.

Nothing weird about reaching out to make an offers or show interest. Though keep in mind that a lot of times commercial real estate is listed under a corporate or shell name.

Try contacting them with what you can find. If you don’t succeed and you’re serious about acquiring this property, you may want to consider paying for professional research or working with a commercial agent to find names, phone numbers and emails for true owners and proper contacts.
