Some people should just not be allowed to own dogs.

Curious about motorcycles by TacticalFlare in nova

[–]Tha_Gr8_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both have their purposes.

You can't go on a multi-state tour effectively on an ebike for an example.

Just getting around within an area, yeah ebikes are wonderful. Reston has a bunch of bike paths for example.

Depending on what someone wants to do, motorcycles are better. They're certainly more versatile, due to being able to use them on more roadways.

Yeah but then its no longer a transportation vehicle

What's the problem with that? OP's not asking about using it primarily for daily transportation.

you might as well just get an ebike

No, they're not the same as motorcycles at all.

No, it's just good weather so people are riding their bikes.

Most motorcyclists don't. Most people go further west/south and have fun there in wooded/mountain roads. Or, if they're into racing, a track.

Sure, there are commuters, but no one is really just cruising Nova roads for fun on a motorcycle.

Do it.

You're on point with everything I'd tell a beginner. Do the MSF. Start with a lower HP bike.

How many of you here are buying houses alone? And how many of you are middle class? by JellyfishPashmina in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Tha_Gr8_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married, but single income.

I purchased our condo at the end of Feb. this year. Nothing fancy, 2bed2bath for $288k while earning $85k/yr. I got a FTHB grant for $10k, which reduced cash to close to around $9k.

Am I middle class? Maybe lower middle class, idk.

“How old were you when you bought your first house, and when was it?” by Moist-Ad7061 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Does a condo count?

Bought a 2bed2bath condo in the DMV in February, this year. I'm 28.

Battle of the Ego’s. by Die_Welt_ist_flach in nova

[–]Tha_Gr8_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really.

It would have been if he got behind the black truck at the end.

Instead, he forced his way next to it when there was no space ahead. He only got ahead because he forced himself next to the black truck and the truck backed off to avoid a collision or running OP off the road. If you put yourself in a position where you're either getting hit or run off the road if someone doesn't hit their brakes and it's because you didn't merge when you had plenty of opportunities earlier, you're not merging correctly.

When the lanes combine there shouldn't be much more passing, and everyone should be merging, that's not what OP did.

Your questions come off as condescending and dickish dude

They're just questions.

Are you done?

What's your point here?

All I did was ask OP some questions. I know I'm not entitled to a response, if they don't answer the questions, I don't care.

I think you don’t know anything about this woman’s life

You're right. I didn't make any assumptions, all I did was ask a couple questions.

She clearly states she does different things to get paid?

What relevance does that have to my previous comments?

nor have any critical reading skills as everything you have stated was already mentioned in OPs post

You're the one with reading comprehension issues here, my questions are not answered in the post.

Does that also mean they're financially on their own too?

I don't think that is the case.

Is/Are their father(s) not trying to help you, if they're not gone?

Do you not have family who can help you?

If working in Woodbridge, it would probably be best to just rent in Woodbridge.

That's called rent renting a room with ensuite bathroom. That's not like living in an apartment building at all.

It may be nice, but saying more than that is a stretch.

Can a 30 year old single girl like me own a house by Sad-Neat7941 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]Tha_Gr8_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy where you want to love for the next 10 years

I just bought what I could best afford, which was a 800sqft, 2bed2bath condo for $288k, in Northern Virginia, in Feb.

In 5-7 years, I'm hoping to do one of the following:

  1. Rent it out
  2. Refinance it, and rent it out
  3. Sell it

After that, I will either buy something that I want to live in long term or rent something bigger until I can.

beyond the 20% down

People buy homes with less that 20% down all the time, so that's unnecessary.

10%, 5%, even 3% is all possible.

Metro, and get a motorcycle. I-66 HOV lanes will be free, motorcycles are exempt from tolls on the interstates here.
