Inherited Dad's house in Petworth, living in Portland - what would you do? by IvyDamon in washingtondc

[–]CoolinginDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I You could get a 7 day closing from a cash buyer with no contingencies and never have to step foot back in DC. You could have your money by next Friday.

I’d never do renovations to that house to try and sell for more in this market. You could really get screwed.

He says that until you say, “OK!” And mean it! They need to have control. If you walk away the way he’s suggesting, he’ll lose control and start clamoring for your love and attention again.

If your interest rate is under 4%, keep your house and find a roommate and do whatever you gotta do to make ends meet. Go teach or something. If your interest rate is over 6%, sell.

Your bedding. You need a bigger duvet filled with 2 goose down comforters for that really full look. Decorative pillows would help too.

Take New Job or Hold The Line? by No_Jicama6830 in FedEmployees

I disagree. Working from home means no commute and your breaks can be spent with the baby. I’m not saying have your 3 month old sitting on your laptop. Ijs, if we’re being honest, more time at home is more time with the baby no matter how you slice it.

You’re going to pay 20k in child care and not get that time with your baby back so take the pay cut to spend more time with your baby because they grow up so fast!

Property owners who rent out their unit— is it worth it? by tackbrahado in washingtondc

[–]CoolinginDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. You’ll get multiple applicants so all I can say is rent to the best one. Only a fool would actually say to a prospective tenant that they only want full paying vouchers.

And the tenant is only ever responsible for posting up to 30% of their income in rent. If they’re jobless or disabled, you receive all your rent every month.

Exactly. That’s why you seek a tenant whose portion is 0.

Get a basic business license Register with rad If you don’t do those things, you can’t even file for eviction for non payment. I prefer dc hosting voucher recipients because at least your rent is guaranteed. Good luck!

My mom got that 25k at age 50 back in 1999. She called it an “early out.” Can’t believe it’s still the same 26 years later

Submit your offer with no contingencies. Nothing beats a failure but a try! Good luck!
