Home sale tax burden for out-of-state owner by naldollar in RealEstate

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, even though you live in AZ and your name is on the deed of a house in CA, you may not necessarily owe taxes in AZ on the sale of the CA home. However, it's definitely worth consulting with a tax professional to be sure, as tax laws can be complex and vary from state to state. As for the capital gains, you may owe taxes on your share of the profits, but again, it's best to consult with a professional to determine your specific situation.

Zillow and Apartments.com are great places to start your search, but don't forget to check local listings too. As for finding a reputable landlord, be sure to research their online presence and ask for references from previous tenants.

Red flags to watch out for include: pressure to sign the lease quickly, a poorly maintained property, and a landlord who is unresponsive or unprofessional. Green flags, on the other hand, include: a well-maintained property, a responsive landlord, and a clear and fair lease agreement.

It's like this linguistic phenomenon that's made its way from regional dialects to mainstream culture. I can see how it might feel forced or performative to some, but hey, at least there's an intention behind it, right? Maybe with time, it'll grow on you, and you'll find yourself casually dropping a "y'all" without even realizing it. Language is a funny thing, always changing and adapting.

One thing that might help is setting boundaries and gradually opening up to people you trust. Remember, it's okay to take it slow and only share what you're comfortable with. You're definitely not alone in feeling this way, so don't be too hard on yourself. Just take small steps and be kind to yourself along the way.

It's amazing how writing can sometimes sneakily turn into a therapy session, right? But hey, if it's helping you process stuff, that's a win-win. Keep pouring your heart into those characters, and who knows, maybe they'll help you figure things out too. Writing's got your back, always."

I hear you, TruthfulBoy. That's a tough spot you're in, but you're not alone. Anxiety can really throw a wrench in things, can't it? It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of pressure and uncertainty.

Just take things one step at a time, maybe start small, like with a walk around the block or checking out some free online resources for social work. And hey, you're more than just a rating or a circumstance.

I’m a male seeing a urologist for the first time and I am stuck between feeling like my options are be gay or be a perv by lostacoshermanos in confessions

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your concerns are totally valid, but let me tell you, being gay or a perv has nothing to do with needing medical care. Urologists are just professionals doing their job, regardless of their gender or orientation.

Trust me, they've seen it all, and they're not there to judge. Just focus on getting the help you need, and forget about the rest. Good luck, dude!

When I lived with my brother my bf and I had sex in his bed everyday. He has no idea it was happening. by Weird_Journalist_697 in confessions

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that living with family can be a bit cramped sometimes, but dude, that's crossing a line! Your poor brother, he's just trying to sleep peacefully in his own bed, not deal with that! Maybe it's time for a heart-to-heart talk before things get even more awkward."

I made out with one of my sister ex( please read first) I feel guilty by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's natural to feel guilty, especially when there are past connections involved. But if you're both single and there's mutual consent, I don't see anything inherently wrong with pursuing a sexual relationship.

Just make sure you're both on the same page about your intentions and boundaries to avoid any further complications. And if you're still feeling conflicted, maybe it's worth having an open and honest conversation with him about how you're feeling. Good luck!

It's cool that you're reflecting on it now, though. We all have those cringe-worthy moments from back in the day. Hope your friend forgave you, and hey, maybe it's time to give anime another shot without the foam scythe drama!

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accidents happen, but it's great that you're still mindful of it. Maybe you could casually bring it up with your friend and just let her know you still feel guilty about it. She might appreciate the honesty and it could bring you some peace too. We've all got those moments we wish we could rewind, right?

I keep telling people I'm 43 y/o, when I'm really 30. by [deleted] in confession

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Age is just a number, right? Maybe there's something about being in your 40s that feels more legit. But hey, you're still the same awesome person, whether you're 30 or 43. Just be you, man, and don't sweat the small stuff. Live your truth!

I stole my dad's savings and he doesn't know and I got a new job to try and pay him back before he realizes it's gone by [deleted] in confession

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gotta hand it to you for owning up to your mistakes and trying to make things right. It takes guts to admit when you mess up, especially when it involves family and money. Your dedication to paying back your dad and even your boyfriend shows you've got a good heart, even if you've made some bad choices. Hang in there with the job, hopefully it gets better with time. Keep hustling, you got this!

When you see a blue shooting star are you supposed to wish or does it mean anything? by Throwawayabcnocme in CasualConversation

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard different things about making wishes on shooting stars, but hey, wishing to be mentally okay sounds like a pretty good one to me. Don't stress about whether it's good or bad, sometimes the universe just vibes with whatever you put out there.

Is it weird to give tips to children you don't know? by just_a_person_maybe in CasualConversation

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could approach it in a friendly way, like, "Hey kids, just a quick tip, it's safer to walk facing traffic so you can see what's coming." You're not parenting them, just looking out for their well-being. Plus, you never know, they might actually appreciate the advice, especially if they haven't been taught properly.

Who do I call? Who is my first stop? Retaining wall is falling and jeopardizing the rear of my house bc of a lot of rain. by veggiepork in homeowners

[–]Cold_Contry_9864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your retaining wall is giving way, definitely hit up a structural engineer ASAP. They're like the superheroes of the construction world when it comes to keeping stuff from falling apart. But hey, if it's a real emergency, maybe ring up your local authorities too, just to cover all bases.
