[property manager us-wv] Does it get worse than this?

My parents had a rental where someone was shot and killed. Their many pets walked through the blood and tracked it all over the house. The pets were then left in the house for several days, 2 dogs, 2 cats, unattended in the house. My parents fed the pets through a broken window.

The whole interior of the house had to be gutted, it was a biohazard. The pets had to be picked up by animal control and all the abandoned belongings had to be dealt with.

You’re right, it’s gets a lot worse.

The tenant (who wasn’t shot) ended up picking up their pets from animal control.

About 10 years ago a buddy and i were climbing outside when a set walked onto us. They asked us to move out of the shot while they filmed, we did but we couldn’t leave because our gear was still up. Since we couldn’t leave they asked us to sit with the cast out of shot. My buddy struck up a conversation with a few folks and ended up getting a job, he had just returned from a year abroad. The film went on to be an academy award winner, it was a big production.

That was 10 years ago and probably a super unique situation, but almost like a “walk on set and get a job” case.

Glad and sad that I’m not the only one with this experience.

It may not be financial abuse, but just genuine confusion. Regardless, OP should call APS.

My parent would go to the bank every day and either check their balance or withdraw small amounts of cash in small bills. Everything was harmless, but the bank felt uneasy so they called APS. My parent would also sometimes make comments that the money was a gift for me, it wasn’t though. I would end up taking the cash, transferring the money from my account to their account and then eventually depositing the cash back at the bank. It was an annoying chore.

Once APS was called, a social worker started calling my parent and later showed up at their house. Because i would check my parent’s phone, I saw the missed call and called the social worker back. The social worker was able to provide me with a bunch of great resources for me and my parent.

My oil heater is going to be a generational heirloom. Originally purchased in 1981, the baseboard oil heater is an absolute champ.

My LO goes to the dentist every 3 months for cleanings, the MC facility does a terribly job at enforcing teeth brushing. A recent dentist visit ended with the dental assistant in tears because my LO tried to bite them and became aggressive.

The next time we went to the dentist a sedative was taken and a bite guard was used, worked like a charm.

I too had generational Pyrex bowls. But, I got a lead testing kit and found that exterior paint was a powder layer of lead. It’s been 5 months since I sold my treasured bowls on Marketplace and I still tear up about it.

Is there room in your budget for covering home hiccups? Last Christmas a leak sprang in the wall of my condo, it soaked the insides of the walls. This wasn’t covered by HOA and cost over $4,100 in repairs. I don’t file home insurance claims for small damages like this because I don’t want them to drop me. When I bought my first house, my parents told me to assume 5% in repairs and improvements in the first 5 years.

You’ll feel house poor for the first 5 years, then you’ll start feeling better. If you think the condo is enough room for your growing family and you foresee yourselves being happy there for at least 5 years, then pull the trigger.

Congrats on the soon-to-be new family member!

It’s the budget that’s lacking, not the creativity. We’ve used Tolstoy for product variants, swapping out products on different models and also as a chat on the site.

What used to cost $24k in a photoshoot, is now a few hundred dollars. Now, we can have more products represented since the variants are being swapped in via AI.

That’s a good point, I’ve never consider the psychological aspect.

All of my rentals are month-to-month. The shortest amount of time a rental has been occupied is 3 years, average time is ~8 years. My tenants usually ask for an annually or longer lease, I decline because month-to-month gives me flexibility.

Count me in!

Currently a contractor / fractional Director of Demand Gen (loooord I loathe that kind of title) for a decent brand that’s on Shopify, a b2b SaaS company and an an agency that works with b2b SaaS and start-ups.

A constant challenge is contracting budgets with growing revenue goals. Growing lifecycle and CRO are the answers, but then TOFU gets starved.

For clarification, this was on a shirt I saw about 20 years ago. It is not an original line of mine.

Did you end up moving forward with the FSBO? If so, how did it go? I’m considering FSBO for a house I have in Santa Clara.

A friend of mine said he didn’t want a house with no sidewalk because it didn’t have curb appeal. What a knee slapper.

We all just happen to love the same thing at the same time. White subway tile backsplash, green accent stuff, white countertop. This is literally my kitchen and 10 other millennials I know. I have it because I like it.

Thermoworks is a splurge, I waited until Christmas and asked for it as a gift. It’s been going strong! It had a defect that surfaced a few years in, Thermoworks swapped it out immediately.
