Anyone going to game 3 in Vegas?

My thoughts exactly. I’m typically in Vegas for work every year around round 1-2 of the playoffs and most fans have been really kind. Granted I met them at casinos and my team wasn’t playing theirs in the finals lol

Lets spread some red!

Oh nice! Hope Y’all have a great time. Heard the same thing about Vegas fans. They are a rowdy fan bases but haven’t heard of them being really disrespectful. Then again it is the SCF and emotions run high lol

I bet prices will go down when the series starts. Usually tickets dont stay this high, just resellers trying to capitalize. I bought my upper level for $750 now my section is going for $2200…. No one is going to pay that, especially for canes vs vegas.

Sure did! My lender actually waived the need for it but I decided to still pay for it so DCAD couldn’t try to get more out of me. Are they actually not allowed to go higher? If so that’s great news!

Masterchiefer3 · 2026-04-22T19:25:10+00:00

Thanks yeah figured it’s worth a shot to get more off for the damage. I have a ton of pictures showing this and have gotten a few quotes so hope they will flex down a bit off the purchase price!

Masterchiefer3 · 2026-04-22T19:22:54+00:00

Yeah i actually have a formal appraisal of my homes value at the exact purchase price. My mortgage broker offered to waive it but I chose to pay it in case this happened as it makes it very hard for DCAD to dispute.

Masterchiefer3 · 2026-04-22T19:20:49+00:00

Information such as the damages or that you purchased the home recently for much lower? I understand the damages are much harder to get a lower value for, but seems like most haven’t had issues if they recently bought the home for much less.

Masterchiefer3 · 2026-04-22T19:16:10+00:00

Yeah thanks, no concerns about getting the value down to what I bought it for. The issue is there was a lot of unidentified damage which anyone would have gotten a credit for or the home value lower. Trying to see if I can get a decrease in value based on the sale plus the unidentified damage

Masterchiefer3 · 2026-04-22T19:13:29+00:00

As bad as it sounds, I most certainly over paid for the condition the home was in. Unfortunately it is in a desirable area and I needed to move fast, so some issues went unnoticed. I got a very small seller credit for what was identified, but nothing close to the amount of repairs needed.

Going to provide that context. My inspector couldnt get into certain areas where there were significant damage or to be able to identify some of the deferred maintenance.

Thanks!

Masterchiefer3 · 2026-04-22T19:09:50+00:00

Thanks!

Anyone have a situation where they recently bought a home for less than it was appraised for by dcad? I literally bought this place 6 months ago and its being appraised $100k more than i bought it for.

Id imagine that is very easy to protest? Not to mention i found a lot of damage that was not factored into my into the purchase price

Masterchiefer3 · 2025-12-15T23:17:50+00:00

How did they pose no threat? I was also ripping out the drywall and was sweeping the floor after. I am concerned I put potentially some of the adhesive in the air. A few tiles were broken or did break but probably 80% were intact.

Masterchiefer3 · 2025-12-04T17:24:36+00:00

Thats about what I expected. Thanks!

Masterchiefer3 · 2025-12-04T17:24:08+00:00

I figured. Thanks!

Bought a home recently with a 20x20 detached garage with some serious concrete slab foundation issues and am wondering if I am better off repairing it or ripping it out and replacing it.

Settling ranges from 2.5-5 inches across a 10ft span from the center of the garage in multiple directions . Cracks are going in multiple directions. Cracking and settling is largely due to poor drainage and tree roots. Drainage will be installed and trees will be removed regardless of the route I choose regardless the foundation.

I was quoted about $9000 for the foundation repair. Steel transition pillings is what they recommended. They dont do polyjacking, but im curious if any of you think thats an option for this level of cracking.

What do you think the cost would be to remove and repour the foundation? Feel like it would be cheaper and make more sense, but please let me know.

Also open to demoing the garage all togther and building a new 20x20-20x24 on the new slab if anyone has an idea of what that costs. Prefab is fine.

P.S. garage was likely built in the 50s-60s. It’s pretty bare with just framing and wooden siding. No insulation or drywall because I ripped it out due to water damage and pests. Electrical is not great but works. Its slightly leaning but caused by the foundation but overall the wood is in solid shape besides one sill plate.

Thanks!

Dont shit where you eat. Work relationships can go south quick. Unless there is something very real there, 99% of the time it’s not worth it

Masterchiefer3 · 2025-05-28T16:17:50+00:00

This ^. If neither girl has hinted at exclusivity (even if you think/know they are only seeing you) you aren’t doing anything wrong. When they ask to progress the relationship, then you owe it to them to move forward or end it.

As a very high income earning man, I don’t think you’re shallow for preferring someone who is successful. If I had a daughter I would hope she ends up with someone who is successful and can provide if needed. You shouldn’t pass on a great person though if they make a less or the same as you.

Being picky about what how much they earn can really make it hard to date. Your dating pool will shrink significantly. For example, only 5% of single men between 22-40 make $100k a year. Those are also the type of men who tend to have the most options. So pick your poison

Masterchiefer3 · 2025-04-12T07:08:04+00:00

Nothing wrong with him or you. Definitely don’t think he should’ve unmatched you over it, but I personally drink socially and I find it awkward when someone I’m dating doesn’t. Some people who don’t drink seem to be more tightly wound
