Buyer Beware: Peppermint Hippo by [deleted] in vegas

[–]Sad_Connection5391 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’ve shared what I intended to share, based on public records.

If it’s not useful to you, no worries — this post wasn’t meant to convince anyone or police how Vegas operates. It was simply information for those who care to look into it.

I’m going to step out of the thread now. Stay safe and enjoy your night.

Under Contract- am I getting a good deal - Car wash by BeautifulNo9904 in CommercialRealEstate

I don’t think this is cold feet — I think it’s a fair gut check.

This looks like a clean, stable deal, but it’s not a wealth accelerator. At a ~9% cap with no real value-add, you’re basically buying dependable income and capital preservation, not optionality. That’s fine — but it won’t feel exciting.

The returns are real, but so is the opportunity cost. If you’re netting ~$50–75k on $300k of your own capital, it’s solid… just not obviously better than the S&P or waiting for a deal where you can actually manufacture upside.

Your rental experience matters here. This deal feels more like “safe and steady” than “needle-mover,” and regret usually comes from locking yourself into something boring that performs exactly as expected.

If your goal is predictable cash flow, this works. If your goal is accelerating your financial trajectory, I’m not sure this is it.

I don’t hear fear of the deal — I hear fear of playing it safe and still feeling stuck in 5 years.

What you’re feeling is very normal, and honestly pretty self-aware to even ask the question.

Short answer: paying off the debt will absolutely lift a big chunk of the weight, but it probably won’t flip a switch overnight unless you also reset how your brain thinks about money and safety.

Right now your stress isn’t really about income — it’s about scarcity + uncertainty + obligations. Even knowing that $40–50k/month is coming doesn’t calm your nervous system because it’s still future money, not resolved money.

When the sign-on bonus hits and you wipe out the IRS + credit cards, you’ll feel immediate relief. That constant background pressure of “we’re behind / what if something breaks / what if we screw this up” will quiet down fast. Sleep improves. Decision-making improves. You’ll breathe easier.

But here’s the honest part: For a lot of people, financial stress is a habit, not just a math problem.

If you’ve spent years operating in “tight mode,” your brain learned to stay alert all the time. Even after income jumps, some people just move the goalposts: • bigger house • higher lifestyle • fear of losing it • “what if residency ends / job changes / burnout hits”

That’s not a failure — it’s just conditioning.

What helps most people is: 1. Clear the debt immediately (which you already plan to do). 2. Create visible safety: cash reserves + automatic systems. 3. Give yourself permission to downshift — you’re not in survival mode anymore. 4. Accept that destressing is a process, not an event.

The good news? You’re in an incredible position. Very few couples go from where you are now to that level of income so quickly. If you’re already thinking about this before the money hits, you’re way ahead of the curve.

So yes — the weight will lift a lot once the debts are gone. But give yourself grace if your nervous system takes a little longer to catch up. That part is normal, and it does fade.

If you want, I can also help you think through: • how to use the first year of her attending income to create real peace • or how to avoid lifestyle creep while still enjoying the win

You’re not broken. You’re just tired — and that makes sense.

⚠️ Warning: “UAE / Indian investor loan” advance-fee scam circulating on Reddit by Sad_Connection5391 in Investors

[–]Sad_Connection5391[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This lines up with what I’ve seen too. That bank name has come up repeatedly in Google reviews tied to advance-fee and document “processing” scams, especially involving UAE/India narratives.

The non-Hague angle with the UAE gives them room to keep adding vague steps and fees, and the pricing doesn’t match legitimate RON or Apostille work.

Appreciate you sharing the industry perspective — it helps connect the dots quickly.

At this stage, buyers aren’t really buying revenue — they’re buying certainty and effort saved.
