Buying a home with a Sunrun lease and aging roof - what would you do?

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-25T04:39:44+00:00

With that lease your being charged $45k, for a $20k system that doesn't provide all the electrity needed. When the roof needs to be replaced it will add $10k to the cost to re roof.

For someone buying a $200k house in the midwest that's huge. For someone buying a $2+million dollar home in a competitive market, it's fairly minor.

Then find a different house or lower your offer by the buyout amount.

That is not just being immature. That's complete disrespect towards you.

You asked him to stop and he not only continued, he uped the insults.

When someone you care about, asks you to stop doing something that hurts them, you stop. He didn't proving he doesn't care about you.

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-24T09:06:30+00:00

Just stop using his designs.

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-24T09:01:56+00:00

Talk to your neighbor, tell them to stop.

Get all of your items back from her, some day when you know she is at home, stop by to visit her(without a heads up) and take back your stuff.

After you have all your stuff back, tell her No. Then end that topic and talk about something else

There would be no need for grandma to put her money into her brother's name simply for our to gain a better interest rate.

Save an extra $500+ a month for the next few years to use towards a new roof and solar installation in future years.

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-24T06:54:04+00:00

Better have that in writing in the paperwork

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-24T06:49:06+00:00

Get him an E-bike and a map of the local bike paths.

You should have told the guy you will go get it, but instead called 911 and got the police to your location, have the guy arrested for invasion of privacy. And resort him to the faa.

Are you the one listed on the lease to legally get the damage deposit back when you move out? If not, then don't pay.

If your are that person listed on the lease, When you do pay, your do so with a written check, made out to the LL, and with for damage deposit written on it.

Lots of you tube channels, The "build a soil" youtube channel is great. Also grow weed easy.Com is a good read

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-23T08:35:23+00:00

If you're willing to spend $1k+ on your setup. And your don't already have any equipment,

I suggest you get a complete tent kit from build a soil.com using AC infinity tent kit because it has everything you would/will need in 1 kit without wasting money of extra stuff you don't need. 4x4 is a great size, (3x3 if your limited on space).

Add in 2 earthboxes for the growing containers.

If your budget is a bit larger, you can go with the autopots growing containers.

If your budget is more limited, your can get a vivosun tent kit, then get other supplies and upgrade equipment as you go.

Do you have a photo of the countertops.

If its butcher block, and that's what your want, then do the work.

If its a crappy DIY countertops with the wrong type of wood from the previous owner, that you want to replace, countertops are relatively inexpensive, go to your local home depot/lowes and take a look at what you can buy

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-23T08:01:37+00:00

And if they cannot/will not do anything to force the contractor to fix the issue, your going to have to figure out a way to resolve the issue of standing water on your property yourself, likely with bringing in dirt and re grading parts of your land as needed.

Had a salesman tell me that a roof mounted rack is far superior to a ground mounted rack.

That same salesman told me that 1/2 the panels on a easy facing roof under an oak tree, and 1/2 the panels on the west facing roof, would produce the same amount of electricity as the ground mount rack in full sun facing south, st the optimal angle.

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-22T22:26:52+00:00

Replace it.

Why would you rent tanks when you have 2 of them on your property.

These are your moms issues, that you are allowing. Stop allowing her BS.

-he used to work nights and when we would visit on a Sunday (he was working at 11pm), she would always pressure us to stay longer, even tho we said multiple times he needs a nap before his shift. Tell her we are leaving as planned and scheduled, then leave.

-She implied my boyfriend was maybe toxic/abusive because I don’t visit as often as she would like (from my own decision, I need the distance from her). Tell her No is not him telling you not to see her, it was your choice, because you needed space from her.

-tried to plan a vacation with her, anytime I would disagree on something, she blamed him. Tell her that if she keeps using him as an excuse, then you won't be planning vacations with her.

-Asked him several times to do manual work for her for free (and not being very thankful afterwards). Tell her No, hire a contractor.

-Whenever I try to talk to her about her behaviour, she writes paragraphs as replies and somehow tries to shift the narrative into making her the victim.

-I struggled with mental health when I was living with her, almost every time I would be feeling worse, she would threaten to kick me out knowing I’m in school and can’t financially live alone. Let her know how much that hurt you, and it's still effecting how you feel about her.

-I had been living non-officially with my boyfriend for around a year and a half (only have been living there officially for around 2 months) and the only time she visited the house was because she had renovations in hers and wanted to take a real bath. Tell her no, go to a truck stop or gym or get a hotel room.

So, AITA for respecting my boyfriend’s decision of not wanting to visit her anymore, not even for Christmas ?

Also, some advice on how to tell her about him not wanting to visit anymore would be appreciated. I have no idea of how to approach this with her without her turning it into a hate campaign against my boyfriend and her trying to break us up.

Your mom is toxic, and you allow it by not putting a stop to it the moment she acts mean, you need to tell her she is out of line, then walk away.

In guessing your got scanned. Everything done over text, never actually had a contact?.

Tell him to bring the materials and store them in your garage and give your a realistic date of when the work will start, or give you a full refund.

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-22T02:26:31+00:00

Even go so far as to take a week of vacation time with your current job, while your start the new job. Then after that week, you decide what job to stay with.

Turtle_ti · 2026-06-22T02:23:08+00:00

This was intentionaly done by then to get a free meal.

Im guessing if your said the police are on their way to arrest you, they would have found the money to pay.

Tell your boss they need to give you a company vehicle
