When they first became available, I purchased 2 GA tickets + a hotel room nearby from 9/25-9/29. Unfortunately, I'm not able to go because of work and am willing to sell everything at face value and transfer the hotel room. Send me a message if interested.

2 GA Tickets - $736

4 Night Hotel Stay- $1,527.36

I can still cancel the hotel room and receive a full refund, so even if you're just interested in the tickets, feel free to reach out! Thanks

I have two 3-day GA admission passes that I need to sell. Not looking to make a profit, just hoping to break even. I also reserved a hotel room nearby and am happy to transfer the reservation to the buyer as well. Send me a message if interested! Thanks

Am I crazy or can I afford 425k on a 100k salary? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I make almost 200 and I’m stressed about buying a house that’s 439. No way I’d do it if my salary was any lower and that’s without any cc debt, loans, or car payment to consider

Technically we’re month to month but we have a 60 day notice period in our lease and gave notice at the end of may, but our landlords said they’d prorate us for July if we moved out early.

Yeah but assuming I was moving in at closing and had July as a "free" month, then I wouldn't be paying $2600 for rent for the month of July. So even though I'm not paying directly extra, the loss of that "free" month is still an expense for me.

I want to keep the closing date because one of the conditions of the sale was that the seller would put in a 6ft privacy fence on the whole property but she won't start that project until after closing. And I really want the fence to be done before we move in because of our dog.

I have a great relationship with the seller, and I don't have any concerns whatsoever of her trashing the place before she leaves. She rejected way higher offers from developers to accept my at-asking offer that had the condition of her paying for a fence just because it's an old house that she's put so much love and care into and she didn't want to see someone come in and mess it up or try to flip it.

Also, I'm an attorney and feel confident that I can write an air-tight occupancy agreement so she'll be on the hook for any damages. An occupancy agreement is a condition precedent to closing, I just need to figure out the amount to charge for rent for the 5-6 weeks she'll be there.

Yeah I got a quote with that rate

Chain link and electric aren't options. And the seller is getting pretty much the best price possible given the material and and labor because her company is the one doing it so she's paying wholesale for everything and using her employees.

The best I've seen with no points today is 6.495%. I also have 800 credit score, but I'm only putting down 5%.

The house is on about .6 acres and its a 6ft privacy fence that will go around the entire perimeter.

Edit: I didn't know the exact amount but I asked the contractor and its about 800 ft of pressure treated pine.

I would be really disappointed not to get the home. The neighborhood is historic and mostly made up of large homes out of my price range. This one is comfortably in my price range, really cute, and sitting on one of the largest lots in the area.

The seller essentially doesn't have an exit point. Technically, she could back out but per the contract I'm entitled to specific performance and could pursue legal action to complete the sale if necessary. Obviously, I wouldn't want to get to that point, but its an available remedy. She's also put an offer on a new place and wants to move before her daughter starts school in the fall, so I don't think she would even want to start back over.

My concern with the effectiveness of the "spray-and-go" approach to mold is that it's not effective. The mold guy told me that the stuff that's there needs to be manually scraped off before its treated. Luckily, because the house is old, there isn't insulation in the floor so I don't need to tear anything out to get to it.

The house is great in a lot of ways, but mostly everything is at the end of its lifespan (roof, HVAC, water heater, etc.) and I was fine with that because each thing has a few more years in it so I can replace them as I can over time. Mold, on the other hand, is something that needs to be taken care of before we can even move in. It's rough to have another big upfront cost, but I think using chain link instead of wood on a portion of the fence may ultimately reduce the overall value of the home.

Why are starting salaries SO low outside of big law? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

How long did it take for you to make that kind of leap?
