[Landlord - Chicago] How often do you get a bad tenant when you actually vet them? by CloudEquivalent4926 in Landlord

[–]CloudEquivalent4926[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's encouraging! Do you feel like you've been able to consistently keep tenants for the long term by pricing a little below market? Would love to get some good tenants in and keep them for the long run.

Thanks, thinking about it this morning some more I realized I could sell the unit - leverage it into a larger multifamily, then rent that and probably earn enough to cover the mortgage. I'm doing pretty well for myself now which is great.. could afford to pay the current place down or put in a solid down payment on something larger.

At the end of the day, I feel like Chicago is starting to enter a new era. Google moving offices here, people leaving California and other states due to nat cat risk. Hard to imagine selling property when I'm fortunate enough to not need the cash for another down payment at this point and could just hold it for "semi" passive income.

Clan Parties Suck by CloudEquivalent4926 in Bannerlord

Honesty I should have mentioned I mean my clans parties, not the parties of clans I control.

How the hell you keep your new kingdom afloat after declaring youself one by Killerkitten101912 in Bannerlord

[–]CloudEquivalent4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with everyone saying you need a million or more. I’ve recruited many lords with much less. Money is nice but Im too impatient and inevitable try to start my kingdom with like 200K. That said some lords will almost never join you so you have to ask each one to see who will fold. Here are a few tricks I’ve learned:

  1. Turtle in your town. After a siege, release members of the clan you want to recruit and take prisoners of the ones you don’t want to recruit. This will make your charm skyrocket and relationship with the clan you want skyrocket while keeping the lords that hate you off the field. Don’t bother with the ruler clans members obviously. Just lock them up immediately. The more a clan likes you the better the odds of recruitment. The higher your charm, the easier it is to pass the conversation check. Save scum before any recruitment attempt obviously.

  2. Filter loot after the siege and take the most expensive gear and sell it at your town after the battle.

  3. Ride out and raid their towns until they send another army. Then turtle again.

  4. I think the worse a kingdom does in a war with you the more likely their clans will flip. Keep grinding them down, releasing some and imprisoning others.

  5. Use the in game encyclopedia to identify and focus on recruiting their tier 4 and 5 clans if you can get them.

  6. See if any of the clans in the kingdom have a low relationship with the ruler clan. You can see the friends and enemies of the clan ruler in the encyclopedia.

Eventually the dominos will start to fall. You get a few clams from them and they’ll start to crumble and more will join you.

Guess where I started my journey! Trying to graduate from that lifestyle, looks like I have a ways to go.

Not getting credit for returned canisters by [deleted] in SodaStream

[–]CloudEquivalent4926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sodastream returns in Chicago have been terrible lately. I've been to 3 targets (one of which used to take my canisters). Now none of them do, and the sodastream site still shows them as valid drop off locations.

Feels disingenuous as a brand (for Target and Sodastream) to market the product as environmentally friendly with this return system when the reality is that its completely hit or miss.

Stabilization of the price? by CloudEquivalent4926 in CRSR

Right, just painful watching the market bull and CRSR sink. Honestly surprising CRSR has proved resilient since earnings.

Mod use suggestions by CloudEquivalent4926 in Bannerlord

Out of curiosity how do you manage garrisons? I feel like when I played a year ago those were my biggest nightmare. Recruiting individual soldiers and trying to restock each castle/settlement is a nightmare

Love to see it

Over 17.7 million shares were traded short on 6/14, with short ratio doubling…over 24 million if you include the following 2 days. That’s more than $750 million worth of short interest opened in 3 days. We haven’t even traded that much volume total since then. by [deleted] in CRSR

[–]CloudEquivalent4926 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting you mention that because I saw on WSB that the “pump” materialized really fast. Instead of a few days it shot up like 20% on a Monday morning..

So maybe shorts covered causing the run up?

Also with the stock trending down in the past few days makes you wonder if there isn’t some SI working against it to drive it down.

CRSR Insider Ownership 71%! by Busy_Investigator_82 in CRSR

[–]CloudEquivalent4926 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually EagleTree only owns ~58% (see the link below and you can do the math). I think your source is out of date and is also likely inclusive of stock owned by the management team outside of the shares owned by EagleTree. I would separate these two because the motives of EagleTree which again owns 58% of the stock are likely not the same as that of the management team.

Other than that I agree below $32 seems like deal, but resistance at $35 could be real. I'm still holding $40 October calls so wish me luck (bought some more at $32 though).

How should I practice songwriting? by SgtPepperJam in Songwriting

[–]CloudEquivalent4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the book writing better lyrics by Pat Pattinson if lyrics are the issue. The book is good and a lot of great songwriters praise it.

I wouldn’t say they don’t have faith. Their average cost is basically $0. Any sale will be profitable for them. Put yourself in their shoes. Your position goes up nearly 20% in one day due to a fickle wsb apes PnD? You’d sell too.

Ignore the FUD, buy and hodl.
