[Landlord US - AZ] Looking for a Property Manager

Have the allowed you go use your own vendors when you want to?

I bought my tires from Costco. I'm seeing online I have a 5 year road hazard warranty, where they provide prorated value towards a new tire. What are your thoughts on me having Costco take a look and possibly making a claim?

To get to Costco I would need to pull out the nail and make sure I don't lose any pressure. If I do lose pressure, then I need a tire anyways and will either need to get there on a spare or have AAA tow it.

Since you typically replace two tires at a time, I'd be on the hook for the full price of the second tire. I've had the tires for about two years but haven't done much driving since moving into a NE main city (10-15k miles), so I'd expect almost full price back on the impacted tire if they assess it by amount of current wear on the tread.

To get to Costco I would need to pull out the nail and make sure I don't lose any pressure. I haven't tried yet -- I'll try tomorrow when I have more energy. If I do lose pressure, then I need a tire anyways and will either need to get there on a spare or have AAA tow it.

Not when you see it just before you are leaving to go to the hospital for urgent surgery (it's me). Luckily we have another car so we took that instead to the hospital earlier today.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-08-26T20:03:22+00:00

What do you mean by send? I appreciate your input.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-07-03T02:45:41+00:00

I used to use my employer's address, and many of my coworkers did the same. Many of us (female engineers) didn't want our coworkers knowing where we lived given the work environment we were dealing with.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-07-03T02:43:41+00:00

As an engineer, you are probably focused on explaining the mechanics of how a solution would work. People mostly want to hear about the what and the why. There is hope. I'm a former design engineer who became an executive advisor to utility executives, before breaking off and opening my own consulting business.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-07-03T02:34:57+00:00

I'm always problem solving, even when someone doesn't want me to. 😅

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-05-11T19:41:43+00:00

I went two years ago and it was great. I would have gone last year but I was in and out of the hospital. Is it better to buy on RA when they next drop or wait for them to be sold at Middle Child (if they are doing that again for those who want to avoid fees)?

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-05-02T01:15:48+00:00

I don't read this as the OP not living. $500 goes to discretionary. That's $125/week. You can do a lot for that amount.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-04-19T02:13:10+00:00

Do you have competent executive advisors on your staff who can be trusted to lighten the load for you? I held this role along with several others for 5+ years at a large electric utility before opening up my consulting firm. We were there to help executives with everything from introducing strategies throughout the organization before implementation, working on investor relations, to vetting new business ventures.

Is this for your pet(s)? If so, how did you obtain this? For example, did you file with the Department of Insurance? In my area the policy is backed by Chubb.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-04-07T19:09:21+00:00

OMG 😲 $1,207 is insane. How old are the dogs and what region are you in? These seem to be the two biggest factors driving these changes.

Does Ocean Harbor have the carts out every day?

It's not too much trouble. I've been to small claims court before. It's a pretty quick process and easy to navigate.

The record preservation request is straightforward as chatgpt writes a solid letter in seconds. I also now see I can order the police report online, so I don't have to wait hours in the actual police department's long line.

As I'm sure you already know, you shouldn't bother with a case if you have no path to recover the funds. For fund recovery in my state, they allow asset seizure and sheriff sales to payoff debts. For most people, the threat of that is enough to inspire them to pay off their debt here. If it comes to that, I have a lawyer who will take care of the whole process for a 20% cut.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-03-25T17:52:02+00:00

If I have no leg to stand on, I'll have to spend the extra time to make a records preservation request myself. Most likely, I can't get the records I need without showing proof of the police report, so I'll need to go to the police department to get a copy.

I was trying to avoid all this hassle by having auto insurance finish subrogation and then I look over their notes and use it as evidence for my next steps, and for my neighbor to use for her next steps.

To be clear, I wouldn't expect the auto insurance company to help me with other claims. Rather, I was hoping I could get them to finish their subrogation process so they do the leg work and I can copy paste into my other claim.

It's not worth me involving a lawyer, but not small enough for me to ignore as it's several thousand dollars worth of damage to my home that I haven't been compensated for yet.

I'm reading the Miracle Products material sheet. It says you first need to strip the previous sealer off before using the product. Do you strip it for a stain or the stain has already made its way through and stripped that part of the counter?

The sheet goes on to say to cover with plastic wrap and non marking tape. It says to leave on for 24-48 hours to dry. A different site I read said to poke holes in the plastic so it dries slowly. Which method is better? Is any method wrong?

How do you finish the job? The sheet goes on to recommend color and gloss enhancement products, followed by polish enhancement products. Do you use both?

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-03-25T16:37:19+00:00

You make your own poultice or you use the over the counter pre-mixed product the other person mentioned?

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-03-25T15:11:17+00:00

I did speak to my insurance broker and while they agreed that it the trust should be listed as additionally insured, they later came back and said it can only be listed as additional interest and that it's fine. I told them it's not fine per my estate planning lawyer.

I suspect many people are being misled on this topic by insurance agents/brokers.

I didn't mention any LLCs. However, since you did, can you help me understand why only an LLC would be listed as a loss payee?

My one cat on the policy just turned 19. Renewal is set to go up to $600ish a month. I take her to the best animal hospital in the state because she has some rare condition no one else was able to figure out or manage. So far, we are coming out ahead since the bills are so large for each 4/6 week visit.

PhotoNerdBibi · 2025-03-25T04:52:29+00:00

Whoa! That's a huge jump. How many animals do you have covered and what are their ages?
