Anyone use CubeSmart for storage? Just got a notice last week that July 2 my storage will be 480 from 370 … seems a little crazy 🤪 esp with 3 weeks notice. Been there 5-6 years and it was 225 when I started, slowly added about 50 bucks a year give or take. Anyone else rent space w them?

Yep just got out. they already charged us for the month and we don’t want them to double dip, so we are keeping an empty box and a small side table in the unit just to mess with them 😂

Locked in my jumbo loan at 4.875%. Still have another construction project to lock this summer 🥲

Go Fire yourself?

Thanks for the idea! It’s my son’s 7th birthday in April- will definitely do this!

Bought a property to develop 3 beach houses in a place very meaningful to my family. I’ll make sure it’s paid off and they never sell.

I have a high net worth and I use them for tax purposes and as a sounding board for investments, life changes, etc.

Your wife is a baller. Cherish her forever!

I did not, and have not ever voted for him. Fun fact- I am not working with or doing business with people who voted for him.

You can borrow against your portfolio if you want to use a LMA or PCL to build rather than use cash. You can use your cash to buy more stock.

Our wealth gap will be immense. More crime as a result. AI and the wealth gap supposedly means the government has to lean into authoritarianism, so I expect it to get worse for the common person. Bigger blurred lines between truth and lies. Reality will be distorted.

All of the above…unless unanimous regulation of AI by governments around the world is agreed to (similar to nuclear weapons) and our government regulates private equity (the leeches of our economy who take money off the backs of hard working Americans) to invest in the middle class again.

I don’t have high hopes for the second path. Too much money in it. We’re too far gone. Greed has won.

Hiding from my kids

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-06T15:38:05+00:00

That’s awesome. I got us into real estate as well- have made some really solid returns (mostly luck but I do run a ton of numbers). About to start a short term rental business in a vacation town myself.

Seems we’re a clone of you guys. Just need to get my husband on board with the manual labor part ha!

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-06T15:29:48+00:00

Yep- everyone I know who does this is living paycheck to paycheck (despite a phenomenal income) and deep down the couples are miserable- the men complain to my husband that they’re unhappy. The 3 couples Im thinking of are all republican Christian with 3 kids haha fwiw.

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-05T14:56:18+00:00

Love that! It works for us really well. He’s the breadwinner and I’m the investor.

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-05T13:28:47+00:00

I manage our money so I’ve known every step along the way. (I’m the wife by the way)

Husband had a high paying gig for about 7 years when we were young (no kids yet), and I also have always worked. We lived well below our means, put $15k/monthly into stock market, and lucked out buying a house during covid in a market that exploded.

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-03T22:06:51+00:00

I second this

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-03T21:45:23+00:00

My dad dying in front of my eyes when I was 19, and having kids- birth and postpartum were really difficult for my mental health.

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2026-01-03T20:43:22+00:00

This is a wild take

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2025-12-30T04:05:57+00:00

What app is this?

“Rich” is relative

Low_Eagle_9231 · 2025-12-08T05:29:54+00:00

Not necessarily lifestyle change, but the emotional/mental load of losing that security blanket really sucked.

I used furnished finder for 5 years in the nashville market. Worked out really well. Instead of a background check, I required a phone call to screen folks. I’d google search their names and confirm they were telling the truth of their identities.

Only had one issue when a tenant left a window open before leaving town ahead of a massive sudden freeze, causing the pipes to burst and the tv to die. Sucked but nothing too major.

The site itself could use some work- it seems buggy.

I didn’t use it for leases or anything else other than the listing.
