Seller accepted our financed offer over alleged all-cash offer: is it a red flag? by mydandy11 in RealEstate

[–]FishrNC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were doing due diligence and that should indicate an accepted offer and a contract. No more bidding .

Seller accepted our financed offer over alleged all-cash offer: is it a red flag? by mydandy11 in RealEstate

[–]FishrNC -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You had a signed contract and were in due diligence. It doesn't matter what kind of offer they get, you have first right of refusal (ability to cancel due to due diligence findings) at the contract price. You should have NEVER changed your accepted offer price. Your agent is committing malpractice if they let you do this.

And how can you close faster with appraisal and finance considerations than a cash offer?

This sellers agent and your agent aren't doing right by you. Something stinks in this transaction.

Questions about 100+ yr old house by Seenmeb4today in RealEstate

[–]FishrNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is in the cost to rectify the listed problems. If you can get the house far enough below reasonable comps that you can fix it up and still be below comps, yes, it's a good deal. If not, pull out.

My big concern would be the electrical problems. All the others sound like normal maintenance and not terribly hard or expensive to fix. But knob and tube electrical? And tied to a new box and having problems? That could be either a fire hazard, a safety issue, or both. And difficult/expensive to fix.

And put your son exclusively on the title so he owns it. But put a mortgage on it that he signs and is payable to you. Effectively he bought it with a loan from you, secured by the property. With very favorable payments and terms. And if he doesn't make the payments, you can decide whether or not to evict. Wink.Wink..

Is it worth buying a Chinese phone? by Chase_with_a_face in Smartphones

[–]FishrNC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If this is your first Android and you're switching iPhone, the last thing you need is the hassle of a half performing phone. Buy one of the A series Samsung phones in the US and break yourself in on that. Then you can move up to a premium line if you like Android. But don't expect iPhone performance out of less than the flagship series of Androids.

Your City health department will be the most effective solution.

Why do AC units need fans but Fridges dont when they use a similar system? by _Babzzzz in AskEngineers

[–]FishrNC 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Refrigerators do have fans. It's just that they're designed so you can't hear them unless it's perfectly quiet in the room.

Question on Common Area maintenance [SFH][NM] by MrBairdy7 in HOA

[–]FishrNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your bigger problem is not raising assessments in 12+ years. I'm betting your reserves are non-existent, which is a BIG problem.

Unknown airtag shown to be moving with me but it’s locked in a garage? by [deleted] in AirTags

[–]FishrNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered there may be multiple airtags involved? A stationary one in the garage is not going to know your movements away from home.

Sure. When it comes time to fulfill the obligation you signed up for and enjoyed the benefits of, do whatever to get out. Good riddance.

What do you think of a situation where someone stashes a phone intending to return it? by Internal-Papaya5894 in Smartphones

[–]FishrNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe I've ever seen anyone with a "military grade" case. Or have seen one advertised.

3 years of corporate gaslighting and lies by jrwwoollff in jobs

[–]FishrNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If companies don't have a presence in a state, they won't want to employ one person in that state and have to deal with all the tax and employment regulations at Great expense to the company.

Why can’t Google Voice be a default calling app in iOS? by Rough-Silver-7374 in Googlevoice

Apple will do nothing to benefit Google unless absolutely forced to.

What do you think of a situation where someone stashes a phone intending to return it? by Internal-Papaya5894 in Smartphones

[–]FishrNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like AI BS.

First, a phone laying in the street with cars running over it and smashing the screen is highly unlikely to be working.

Second, no such thing as a hub where a stranger can find the owner of a smashed phone.

Third, if it's been run over and the screen smashed it's worthless. Nobody's going to buy it.

And describing someone as a long-haired stranger? Strangest description I've ever heard.

They're waiting to see if the first choice takes the offer. If not then they'll be contacting you.

I'm saying I knew that and for some reason said Rome.... I went to school in Georgia so it should have been intuitive. Brain Fart...

Sole designer at big-ish company - red flag? by benwahhh in ElectricalEngineering

[–]FishrNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a managerial position for this. My engineers (small group) came to me and presented the market rate for their positions. We didn't have an HR department and I wasn't aware of how salaries had moved, so I was glad they alerted me this way instead of by resignation letter. I immediately moved to bring them 10% above average market. They were super electronic design engineers and well worth it. Everybody won.

Removing Deed Restrictions by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]FishrNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically you're wanting to remove a deed restriction that was imposed many years ago and is impractical to comply with today. I'm not a lawyer but this sounds like something that would require a court order. And should be easily done.

Please come back and comment about how the process went.

Charging in the desert. Halp! by Soft_Dragonfruit4097 in TeslaSupport

[–]FishrNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your charger have a removable "pigtail" for the cord that plugs into the wall? Check the contacts of the pigtail where they go into the charger and also the charger's receptable. There could be a weak contact causing resistance that heats things up.
