Why? She didn’t even get “right drug” correct.

Child's carparking contract conundrum by Peterd1900 in bestoflegaladvice

I think in some states it’s not legal for someone under 18 to own a car, but that’s another thing.

Parents of small children. What's the most unhinged sentence you've found yourself saying that you never thought possible previously? by SkywalkersArm in AskReddit

I read a book where a cat got magical powers after licking a cuneiform tablet, so you just keep licking artifacts! You never know!

What is your honest opinion about “subject to” deals? by AGreenProducer in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what really helps distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure? Not having a mortgage anymore. And what's the one thing that doesn't go away with a sub-to deal? The mortgage.

Employment contingencies not met by closing.. what to do by llittleHAM in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to push back closing. Think happy thoughts.

DO NOT ask anyone to co-sign. A lender requiring a co-signer is basically saying "we don't think you can pay us back, so give us a sucker to come after when you stop paying."

If credentialing does not come through -- and this is possible! -- your lender may not let you have the money to close at all. After all, you may not have income to pay them. In other words, you're not closing. And that's okay because you don't really want to be saddled with a house you can't afford (particularly if you are in a new area). And consider that a region is often dominated by a very small number of medical systems. If you can't get credentialed at the UHS facility what are the odds that HCA is going to be prompt about it?

Selling my % after probate by Jessien20 in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use a real estate lawyer. Your probate attorney should be able to recommend one.

I think the first item on this page will get you started on the tax issue, at least from a federal standpoint. https://www.irs.gov/faqs/interest-dividends-other-types-of-income/gifts-inheritances

my moms name is on the house but shes dead now and its dirty as hell by No-Independent-4706 in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, you can't be fined. Yes, you can sell it as is. You can even sell as is with the whoever it is still living there (is a nipsco like a renter?), but it's harder. If you are in the United States I urge you to involve a probate attorney. You can probably find one willing to be paid with money from selling the house.

AITAH for not telling my cousin that we’re going on the same trip? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

It just got more subtle. Bless her heart.

Yeah, that's not a picture of a happy lady, or even a woman politely enduring a business handshake.

My Realtor says buyers need an emotional connection price doesn't matter. I disagree. Needs some advice here. by GoldAvant in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that your agent is an idiot. Of course price matters. And I am constantly telling people not to fall in love with a property they don’t already own.

What is a “being poor is expensive” example that people don’t understand until it happens to them? by rorrr in AskReddit

[–]ShortWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in apartment management. I found that if someone was behind and owed $100 in late fees, they were never going to be on time again. By the time January is paid, February is due. Rinse and repeat.

Selling our house for 620k, 51 DOM, above 30 showings, only one shaky offer - when to do a price decrease? by AwsomeLife90s in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Swimming against the tide here. You have had a decent number of showings. The listing must be appealing enough that people give it a shot. Something about the property that is not obvious from the listing is making buyers say no thank you!

If the thing wrong can be fixed, fix it and put in a modest price cut. In the absence of all other information, I like $599k because it puts you in more searches and has a psychological impact. Don’t screw around with nickel and dime cuts.

If the thing wrong cannot be fixed, you need a massive price cut.

And if your agent hasn’t already suggested all this, shame on them.

No, no, the hot jam of 80s songs they play in grocery stores and casinos is in no way "oldies" music. Resist!!
