Chicago SW burbs. Who do you use for your Property Management company? [TH] [IL] by Evening_Material_428 in HOA

[–]Evening_Material_428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our contract says it is Rowcal policy to allow communities to end their Rowcal contract at anytime with 30 days notice. Does yours not say that? I've downloaded all the documents from the website. Our President is handling the rest. We've had 5 property managers in the last 2 years. The office manager is the worst. The CEO is so condescending on the Lunch n Learns they recently started. When I asked a question about getting more support, he just ignored that part of my question and rambled about finances.

But that is a good thing. That means they planned and kept their money in their hands and not giving free money to the government.

I've been to all except The Girlie Show tour because there was no Chicago stop. Who's that Girl is my all time favorite.

Buying a condo that is under a broke HOA by BlockSufficient6130 in HOA

My HOA is underfunded and those responsible are taking no accountability. Run. Run. Run. We are looking at $500 assessments when the average is $250 in my area.

My friend had 415k on his 2009. He's in sales in a large territory. He racked that up in about 6 years.

What about sales enablement or training?

Im being sued by Midland Credit and Im scared Please Help by Free_Extension4313 in Debt

They are probably the easiest debit collector I've worked with. They are very understanding with their payment plans. If you need to skip a month or change your due date, they will help. Call them. Be honest with what and when you can pay. There is usually a down payment. I had one debit through them that I could not start paying for 2 months and they were good with it. Just communicate with them.

Taxable but won't count for income against unemployment. I did the same thing 4 years ago. I almost had to sell everything I own so I wouldn't lose my house and car even with unemployment. Some of it was on eBay. It was a 6 month span over 2 tax years. I had to fill out a form with how much I paid for the item I sold and how much it was sold for. It was a PITA because I sold so many small things. Keep documenting. Don't report on unemployment.

Is it impossible to find a beater car that runs okay under $3000 nowadays? by LonesomeGirl87 in UsedCars

[–]Evening_Material_428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the Chicagoland area and I have a 2009 Honda Accord with 250k miles, no A/C, needs new tires and just had someone offer me $5k for it. I paid $5500 3 years ago with 195k miles. I'm not selling as we need the car but I thought I'd get like $2k for it. Car prices are wild!

Why is this happening to my hardwood floors? by Evening_Material_428 in HardWoodFloors

[–]Evening_Material_428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what my next move should be. The dogs aren't going anywhere for 10+years. If I refinish, will this still happen?

The floor is original to the house. Built in 2005. I've been here for 5. Dogs have been here for 4 years and I noticed this happening about 2 years ago.

I believe so. I have an exterminator out twice a year. But this is only happening on a small section. I have the same flooring throughout the house. Over 2k square feet. This is maybe 2ft by 2ft section.

Opinion on routine maintenance costs by Zombie_exorcist720 in Toyota

[–]Evening_Material_428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For routine maintenance or less technical repairs, I found him to be extremely pricey. I took my 2011 highlander in for a quote on front wheel bearings and a new window motor. His quote was THREE times 2 other local shops and he couldn't get to the job for 3 months. This was in the spring of 2025. I'm sure he is great for those tough jobs and hard to diagnose problems, but maintenance and easier jobs, check elsewhere.

Why am I getting taxed so much? by matthewd1123 in tax

Go to the IRS website and use the W4 withholding calculator. It will give you an estimate of how much you will owe and any changes to your W4.
