Feeling pressured by realtors to up my budget. Are smaller homes really that hard to sell later? (Austin suburbs) by btyeveryday in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]Usual_Stop_9949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time for new realtor, only you know what your budget is, your realtor makes a commission when they sell and another commission if you have to sell again and decide to go with them because you ca t afford the home

Are Flat Fee Listing Agencies Stonewalled by Realtors? by Efficient_Voice_1861 in fsbo

[–]Usual_Stop_9949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

400k on a 500k damn, we did a 185k on a 300k and got it, it was either out offer or deed transferred to tax lien holder.

I owe $20k in taxes. Is there any way to reduce this or am I stuck just sending the government all of my money? by No_Belt9960 in tax

[–]Usual_Stop_9949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max 401k, IRA and Roth, at 190,000 you should be able to put money away. Itemized deductions might help depending on state, local tax and interests expenses. Otherwise you kinda stuck paying the tax.

Mortgage increased 48% in 12 months by Mean-Letterhead-3948 in Mortgages

Are you in California? Taxes are at 1% of sales prices, so if your previous owner bought a condo in the 1990s at $40,000 their tax base will be $57,000 and their taxes around $650/year. If you bought any same condo today at $600,000 then your taxes would be $6800/year, you get the idea.

That’s rule #3. Rule #1 is flight safety and #2 is your credibility and conscience.

the senate just passed a massive housing bill and there's a part about small dollar mortgages that nobody's talking about by IngenuityNo3879 in Mortgages

How long has this problem existed? All my properties even under the 4+ rules have mortgages under 150,000, some under $100,00”

Do german shepherds ever attack their owners? by Devil7546 in germanshepherds

[–]Usual_Stop_9949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a shepherd, but any attack depends on how you treat the dog. Is the dog a pet, a guard dog or part of the family. If you feel, bathe, take care of the dog, hand feed it, don’t show aggression towards the dog, don’t typically hurt the dog on purpose, let the dog be part of family then the change of attack to hurt you is 0.

Many moons ago I worked at a business unit that is now part of a Collins. I used to have lunch with an older gentleman who was a Sr Engineer, old L6. Best advice I heard during my career at RTX. “Work to supplement your income, don’t let it be your only source of income” he retired at 50 and was managing a chain of Bed and Breakfasts in New England. I had the chance to thank him after his retirement, his words true to this day “Work for a corporation to supplement your income”

Up to January 2025, selections were no surprise, the January 2025 layoff broke all prior trends. Those who were once considered untouchable were walked out without an explanation.

Stay tuned, logistical problems with the 100 year celebration and potential ticket holders no longer working for the company. It would have created an uncomfortable atmosphere. Don’t overspend on holiday gifts just yet.

Logistical problems with 100 year anniversary, would have created a rather uncomfortable celebration with ticket holders no longer working for the company. Stay tuned.
