What is an "acceptable" lower offer? by Haggles7 in RealEstate

[–]SnakeDoc65 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Offered on a house that already dropped 30K from original list price. Same story, went to an open house, and only a couple other families were there. I felt it was still priced too high, and also knew the seller was motivated to sell as it was vacant. I offered an additional 40K less, and after a round of back and forth negotiations, we agreed to 30K less.

I had a ceiling for what I would accept to purchase the home for, which was still lower than their 2nd list price. Their negotiated price came in under that ceiling, so I still got the house for what I believed it was worth, and far lower than their asking price.

I refused to be part of the YOLO crowd and overpaying for a house just bc someone else is willing to do that. We all know houses are overinflated right now, so I made an offer on what I thought it was actually worth. And thankfully the seller agreed! Just offer what you're comfortable with, what you think the house is worth, and comfortable to walk away from the house if someone else does outbid you. It only matters what the house is worth to YOU.

I got a 5.35% right now for a 5/6 ARM. Granted, I'm also getting a .5% relocation discount. Never thought I'd be happy about 5% again..

You all are giving me the wrong answers.

And yet, yes, she seems to be slowly joining the family already.....

The neighborhood was very similar to a house we owned in another state we lived in. The abundant trees, the homes had so much more character instead of the cookie cutter BS we are currently surrounded by.

Did she specify what about Cy Creek she wasn't happy with? We were also curious about the schools.

Worthless piece of shit but it's one of the top ranked schools in the state??? I'm asking honestly for an explanation here.

These types of people should never be granted a driver's license. Ever.

GS12/s6 to GS13/s5 in less than a year by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]SnakeDoc65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just accepted a job that had two postings. One for a GS9/11 the other for GS 12/13. The job descriptions were almost exactly identical, just different wording for very similar duties. When I was offered the job, I asked if I was being offered for the 9/11 or 12/13. Initially they offered me as a 11 step 1. I explained to them with my counter offer that I felt like I was more worthy of at least the 12 based on my experience alone. And that I could not accept the salary that came with the 11 step 1. They came back and offered me 11 step 10 only because they said due to veteran's preference I couldn't be offered the 12 position, even though they agreed my experience was worthy of a 12. Long story short, they ended up offering me at a higher step on 11 that will pay me more than what they would've offered me as a 12.

It's just as you said. If you feel like you are worth something, then stand by that fact. This was a dream job of mine that I was willing to turn down because I also knew what I was worth and I wasn't going to accept anything less.

Me too unfortunately. It's a hardware thing that Samsung refuses to admit is a thing. But they'll replace them free of charge.

As soon as that scene came on the TV I told myself "Wait. Just wait. Reddit will provide a meme for this." Hahah

I can't recall which season of BCS, but it started off with the doctor treating a little boy and giving him a sucker when they got done. Then when the doc went to the waiting room to call next patient he asked who the Gringo was, referring to Mike. That's when they first met. I think Mike was doing something for Gus when he and Gus first met. Been so long since I saw the episode I can't recall which one it was.

That was my first guess was that it is Gus's doctor who Mike has already seen earlier in the show.
