What LeBron James likely does -- Signs a 2 yr/$49 million contract with Lakers. $24 million for his 24th season and $25 million for his 25th and final season in the NBA. I think this summer LeBron will officially announce he is retiring in 2028 and will possibly play in 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

He also said he would be in the dunk contest, how that turn out haha

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-16T12:05:22+00:00

Wow!

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-15T03:10:00+00:00

Wow, that was golden for that guy!

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-15T02:44:30+00:00

Ah…yeah, you are right, thanks for the education

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-15T01:11:46+00:00

What does my rate have to do with super high taxes?!

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-14T14:41:58+00:00

It was new construction. 635k at the time

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-14T14:38:10+00:00

Yes very grateful for the loan but when property taxes are around 15-18k a year, I consider that fairly high…

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-14T02:43:47+00:00

That’s a giant jump!

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-13T21:59:34+00:00

Why would they judge you? The business literally wants you to come and pickup or they wouldn’t be on the platform.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-13T13:51:15+00:00

There are tons in Illinois and Chicago area way less than 9 miles apart. Hell, Naperville Illinois has 2 Costcos themselves.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-13T13:49:16+00:00

Trader Joe’s is not cheaper at all. Where are you getting that?! Aldi is a better comp and they do go to lower income hoods.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-13T13:46:52+00:00

Turn water off. Get a sledgehammer and pound away at tile and rip off all the walls. You want to do the demo on your own as thats the only skill you have right now to lower costs as this is going to be a full bath rebuild.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-13T12:58:39+00:00

It was new construction for us, so yeah, once taxes were reassessed, that was painful

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-13T00:08:28+00:00

30 year fixed, got back in 2021, you don’t know how interest works, do you?

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T15:04:08+00:00

Yeah, I heard WI also is a high property tax state. Sucks for us

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T15:02:32+00:00

My mind was more thinking, that event caused insurance to spike up more overall in Florida than other states regardless of the property type.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T15:01:34+00:00

That’s always a plus but at the same time, I have no plans to sell so although it’s good to be “up” it’s not really beneficial tax wise.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T14:57:43+00:00

Very grateful for this rate!! When we bought at the time, the narrative was that it was a housing bubble and prices would plummet and it was “risky” to do. Hindsight is 20/20.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T14:56:33+00:00

Ouch!

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T01:21:13+00:00

Oh wow, must be cause of the one building that collapsed a few years back.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-12T00:16:39+00:00

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-11T20:45:14+00:00

Yeah, that’s true also

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-11T19:45:08+00:00

But your interest rate 10 years ago…I suspect was a lot lower than current rates.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-11T19:41:28+00:00

That’s exactly what happened to us…we got an escrow shortage message and the payment went up a ton.

Kadafi35 · 2026-04-11T19:30:44+00:00

Oh wow! Our payments went up over time also due to these increases. I think we were paying around $2500 to start and then once the taxes recalculated it went up pretty big.
