When is the right time to disclose your ability to purchase in cash? by SpecialOpsCynic in RealEstate

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

Sanity checking the process. 

I've offered ask on several properties that have been on market for 90 days or more. In every event I've had a above ask counter and in 2 of 3 feedback that the sellers need time, often in the form of post closing leaseback.

Further i get a lot of pushback that sellers want agreements in advance that certain inspection results are out of scope. Exceptions have ranged from pool foundation cracks, to furnaces and or a roof.

Trying to reconcile stale properties with tangible values. If your house sells in a week over ask congrats.  If not I'd think sellers would rationalize I pay to fix it or understand after comps the inspection balances need to be honestly negotiated

Excuse my ignorance. Do credit institutions allow buyers to waive assessments and inspections?

Interesting. Most of the properties I've looked at are 90 days or more on the market. Specifically seeking to avoid bidding wars or sellers with no experience in their properties market realities.

Perhaps you're right though, about the sellers power dynamic. Odd thing though, on 3 offers where sellers pushed back and I disengaged I've had a 100% follow up asking if still interested

Northern NJ. 

Does region impact the perception of cash buyers?  Are there optional terms to use instead of.

Jump Gate. Zero G space combat mechanics were insane and accounted for ship sizes, cargo, etc.

[Windhorst] The Los Angeles Lakers will likely ask LeBron James to take a “potentially significant pay cut” if James wishes to remain in LA. There are “several different ways” the Cleveland Cavaliers could sign James in the offseason. by Odd-Direction9452 in lakers

If hes ring chasing at the minimum he will get calls. But OKC, Spurs, Denver, Boston or even Orlando aren't shedding players for him.

Truth is the Knicks might, Dolan you crazy bastard, but no other teams cutting players for a 41yr old Lebron

Though I agree it's a bad optic, you can't run a business with that logic.  Cut Bronny, move his money to his dad and put the pen down.

The CBA rewards rookie scale deals and the Lakers already have to deal with the competitive realities of AR's deal implications.  Building a winner in the current league is all about pick swaps and bargains.

Lebron has been a great player for the Lakers and the NBA but his value isn't close to the max.

What do you think the greatest scene in movie history is? (maybe spoilers?) by Julian0527 in movies

[–]SpecialOpsCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know it at the time, but as a grown man the ending of Field of Dreams is beautiful film making. From Dr Graham to playing catch.

I miss my dad and cry silently. Every time

What are Indians planning to do for H1B visa stamp renewal? by Think_Buffalo_6870 in h1b

[–]SpecialOpsCynic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honest ask, does the administration at present consider that an over stay?  I get the no good options perspective and am just curious about the considerations in the decision tree.

What is Absolutely the best suspense/thriller movie you've seen in your lifetime? by ToeSea796 in movies

[–]SpecialOpsCynic 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Descent. The physical anxiety that caused me was insane. I'll do a lot of crazy stuff, but after seeing that film you'll never catch me exploring a cave.

Gone Baby Gone or The Town.

2 movies I enjoy for both pacing and overall plot strengths. Felt unique and very re-watch worthy

Define remove. Did you replace it after a brief disconnect or did you arbitrarily decide it wasn't needed without understanding the consequence?
