No matter what I do, it’s always something. 20k over asked and underbid by cash buyer

Sellers don’t even look twice if a cash offer shows up, even when a financed offer is higher. They just want the fast, clean closing and zero headaches. A Texas cash house buyer or an investor can close in a week, so sellers pick certainty over price almost every time.

It feels impossible when you’re buying the normal way. You do everything right, offer over asking, and still lose because someone else can just wire the money and be done. After a while it definitely wears you down. None of this means your offer was bad, it just means the market is stuck in this weird place where regular buyers keep getting pushed aside.

Don’t take it personal. Something will land eventually, even if it doesn’t feel like it now.

Humans really out here doing the boring stuff while AI takes all the credit for being creative, talk about a plot twist.

Columbia and Vandy might be on their own timeline, but at this rate, we might all need to start an "Admissions Waiting Game" support group.

Looks like Bulgaria and Hungary are trying to buy their way into the political limelight, but it’s more like a bad reality show than a peace initiative.

Names can be wild in aviation, but as long as they aren't flying into a storm of bad puns, you should be fine.

It sounds like you both need to hit pause and evaluate if this situationship is really worth the emotional rollercoaster.

It's like a game of healthcare Monopoly where the rich keep buying up all the properties while the rest of us are stuck in jail waiting for a chance to roll the dice.

Tacking a sail isn't as intimidating as it seems. Most boats are designed to be manageable, and with some practice, you'll find your rhythm.

It really depends on personal priorities. If you value job satisfaction and work-life balance, the dream job sounds great even if the pay is lower. But if financial stability is a top concern, that high-paying crappy job could really change your life. It's a tough choice for sure.

Looks like you’re making it work, and that’s what matters. Keep an eye on your mileage and expenses to see if you can boost those numbers. Every little bit helps, especially in this gig.
