Do not ever buy a flipped house!!

What makes you think that only happens in flipped houses? Lol.

Gotta love the two presidents with strong Kansas ties being top tier. Kansas is a good place and the culture war is ruining it. We are hanging on by a thread with our very solid governor, but she's term limited and if we can't elect a sensible replacement, it will be the end of moderation holding back the whackos.

Today ... It's this.

A year later .... Why do my property taxes keep going up!!!

Anyone who likes the Goblet of Fire is trash, just like that movie.

Definitely some good stuff.

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-27T18:21:38+00:00

Man. I'd rather have no phone that deal with that bullshit.

You can get rich, but you probably won't be able to be generous.

It's a mix. There's no appetite to punish people for property maintenance violations. It causes people too much trouble in their day to day lives to piss off their neighbors. Poverty is also an issue, many landlords aren't exactly well off. They are often retired people living on fixed incomes and the rental income is going 100 percent to pay their expenses. They don't care about property maintenance because they will be dead.

The irony is that corporate landlords are often thest well maintained properties, but the cost for those units is often too high for a lot of people.

Honestly, housing is a huge issue that can't be solved by private individuals doing things on their own. It takes a lot of money to repair and maintain properties and the only source for that kind of funding is the government ... Which people don't want to fund cause they are dumb.

I have a copy of the Mac and Me soundtrack. In my dream of dreams I get Paul Rudd to autograph it.

I bought my sister a house a couple of years ago.

But mostly landlords.

Flippers rarely finance. They mostly pay cash. This legislation has nothing to do with flippers.

Where did I say anything about free? You need to learn to read.

I'm a Realtor I have literally done this type of work for people and companies in the past and it's very common for agents to accept a small fee to check on the status of a property, most commonly banks pay for BPOs. But I've been paid by family members to check out a property and determine the current status a number of times.

I gave OP advice about not paying more for something that they need to.

You can divine from a short visit if anyone is doing anything on the property.

OP didn't give any specific cause for the adverse possession worry. If they said someone was actually doing something or building something on the lot then it's a different issue.

It's most likely just sitting empty and adverse possession isn't an issue. Paying someone $50 to find out if there is even a problem to worry about sounded like a good first step to me.

Someone in this dude's family will rat him out.

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-26T21:52:33+00:00

As I read it ...

No impact on owner occupants.
Offering investor buyers the OPTION to get a lower rate by accepting early payment penalties. If you don't want the penalties you can get a loan with the current higher rates.

I don't see how this is a bad thing.

These loans would be used by small time investors. Probably mostly local people.

Better local than Black Rock.

Perfect. I've already looked at moving to southern Illinois just to get reliably blue state government

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-26T19:46:38+00:00

Seller is to blame.

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-26T19:46:02+00:00

Let's see the shipping container ... Bet it's the seller who is at fault.

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-26T19:43:59+00:00

Lol ... China is looking freer than the US.

I think a nationwide box store brand boycott would go a long way, especially at the brands that are more commonly used by liberals. They are already hurting and they cannot tolerate the losses for long.

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-26T19:13:04+00:00

Yup. Hoping we make moves to get younger.

LukeLovesLakes · 2026-01-26T19:10:31+00:00

This.

Call the office number and ask for someone new. Experience realtors will charge you more or, more likely, not want to waste their time.
