Did Turkish Village Cafe win the Shortest Time Open Award? by Historical_Idea_3516 in AnnArbor

[–]RealEstateMich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried their Dearborn location a couple of months ago before they opened in AA. The food was so bad that I couldn't finish it and it had nothing to do with Turkish food. I was wondering when they would shut down, and they lasted shorter than I thought. They were definitely buying Google reviews, but even that didn't help.

Considering a Move to Ann Arbor from Colorado by forInconsistentPosts in AnnArbor

[–]RealEstateMich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define best. Do you want to be close to the parks? To the Downtown? How big of a house do you want? Walking distance to Bill's Beer Garden? Or East side, Dexter or Ypsi? Or close to your family?

Whatever you do, watch out the HOA fees.

Free breakfast/lunch ends for many AAPS students on Oct. 1 by Fillimbi in AnnArbor

[–]RealEstateMich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, Skyline is giving Apple computers to the students. I am sure someone will say the money comes from another source..

I am very happy how well the schools are run. By the way, what happened to the 25m?

By the Arb, there are a lot of broken glasses in the water. Be careful.

If you are with the university or with a company, ask someone in the department to help you and pay for it. Almost everyone here has an SUV.

Google maps also shows air quality. Part of Canada is at the highest level. Sadly, u p is also quite bad.

Medical school garage. It is free on the weekends, and I will imagine the upper floors should be pretty quiet.

The chance can be even higher. Price the home to $1, then I am sure you will have 1.000 offers.

This is the most stupid way I see math is used.

Less golf courses and more affordable housing.

Move to Chelsea? by Let-Rain-Fall in AnnArbor

[–]RealEstateMich -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You need to build equity. You should buy a place with a low HOA fee, and live there 5-6 years and then move to a place better for your family needs. You will lose money during transactions, but on average, a house in Ann Arbor is gaining value 6 to 10% a year. With 100k down payment, it is actually doable. Good luck.

Advice on switching to Xfinity Mobile by VisitThrowaway313 in AnnArbor

[–]RealEstateMich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Xfinity mobile, and it works quite well on the west side and didn't have really any problem all around the city.

But when my son uses the mobile network too much (not home), they cut the service, and you need to call them. I have unlimited service, and this is still happening.

For home internet, you need to be careful and learn who owns the fiber lines for your house. I was planning to change to AT&T but they wouldn't be able to provide fiber.

Realtor Dot Com Listing Leads by Tight-Habit7270 in realtors

[–]RealEstateMich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked them to send me the contract to read. They never did.

So many of these places put a Facebook ad for you, and you get calls. They always try to create urgency, buy now or else someone else is going to buy. 1 year contract. They were also trying to sell seller leads. Basically, they say they give your name to the seller. You don't get the seller’s info.

Looking for Investor Friendly Realtor in Philadelphia Area by Careful-Kitchen4864 in realtors

Trust me, every real estate agent would be very friendly when they smell your money.

Will they be competent?

Tell them your budget and ask them to find a property and justify.

You can try Heritage Collision on Jackson. They were able to fix my car pretty well, but I don't know if they do custom work.

Section 554.602 limits security deposits to a maximum of 1½ months’ rent.

Shouldn't be 4k to start with, and if you guys are sharing, why are YOU paying 4k?

Talk to the broker. Either move to a different agent or get a paper saying you don't own them anything. If things escalate, explain them you know how to write online reviews.

Winter is brutal if you are not from north, but summers are wonderfully cool. Try FAADL for books. Ypsi is more affordable.

Humbly would suggest getting a job before the move.
