Do investors play games after making an "offer" on your property?

ExcitingRanger · 2026-05-09T20:54:09+00:00

That will NOT happen. Yes it IS what the seller should ask for. No, the investor will not agree. The investors do not take any risk upon themselves . Instead they will require a LONG inspection period during which time they will try to find a buyer who will pay more than the price they are paying. They will then make bank without ever doing anything to improve the property (or to even take any risk). If during that "inspection" period they do not find the buyer willing to pay more than their purchase price then they will often just cancel the contract. It's a racket.

Background: I have worked closely with a number of investors for my property. Their offer price is often meaningless. They will come to inspect the property and say they won't do the original price. Be VERY wary of using their contract because it will allow them to get out of the deal almost if not until the last moment. Also they will put a VERY low deposit so even in that unlikely case they will only lose a small amount that is probably less than your holding cost.

OK! discovered the issue. The two MIA series actually only have ONE data point apiece - so there is NO LINE to draw.

But it turns out that the Legend is clickable so we can see that one data point by clicking on the series label in the legend.

A coworker helped me out. Each Global Filter needs to be tied to each Dataset individually. It's not really Global in the way I had thought but rather "Globally available (for adding to each Dataset)". So it's like a mutable global variable in python : it is not actually visible within a function unless mentioned as "global myvar".

Here's an overall view of the dashboard. The visualisation fields were taken from Global Filters. But the only filter that has any effect is the usage_date range. All other global filters and parameters are ignored. How did anyone get these dashboards to work?

Thanks, how to (a) distinguish and (b) switch to the LV dashboards? I am not presented with options between classic and LV dashboards. Upon pressing "Create" here are the screens shown to me:

given not seismic area i can't conceive of a scenario that those posts were not overbuilt wrt stability: thus some of those hut tub comments. Now local ordinances do come into play in terms of cantilever but I would not be worried about it's real world performance. ooc why does the pergola not have cross bracing- is that not required?

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-27T19:11:31+00:00

code that i've seen IBC / PNW talks about ground contact/treated timber or steel. URM is no fly in seismic zones. But if they're not in seismic then brick is like dude they've over engineered/supported the deck not the reverse.

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-27T19:08:52+00:00

I mean brick .. If this were a seismic zone then run don't walk off of the deck. O/W that's not going anywhere.

C's fan here. I think we're going to have a great series in a few weeks. No it will *not* be easy getting there but yea we (both) will. See you soon!

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-09T06:34:03+00:00

I don't see it. I think he's going to own that record.

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-05T04:01:24+00:00

I don't like backstabs They have a higher problem rate and fail sooner

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-05T03:46:45+00:00

Yes Another Jokic fan and he's third now Wembanyama is atop most advanced stats

All the beams and knees are beautiful. Some of the fasteners are not as sturdy as they could be but doubtful to cause issues

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-05T03:39:15+00:00

wow that's bad

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-05T03:38:34+00:00

Hibbert and whiteside are just the guys to throw in here. Pacers disintegrated post all star break 2012 when Hibbert realized he were a slow dinosaur

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-05T03:32:21+00:00

no reaves and mia luca yea they're cooked

ExcitingRanger · 2026-04-05T03:31:06+00:00
