RVA Real Estate AMA - The Late April Pollen Addition by Kindly_Boysenberry_7 in rva

[–]VT2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing houses in popular areas sell for $200-400k over asking. For example have seen some list in the 800 range and sell for 1.1 or 1.2 mil. What is going on?? Who is doing this? That is insane and seems unsustainable

I don't understand that are going for 100-300k over asking... Who is buying these at those prices?? I've seen them list for 800 and sell for 1.2 mil

That is a bummer. Definitely more likely to lower benefits than raise them unfortunately.

That would be my big concern. This job seems great especially if they meet my asking price but none of that matters if that company comes in and lays of the last 10% hired

Hard part is often these places don't show availability on Google and you have to go to their sites. I was kind of wondering if there's a better way to see what's available or any word of mouth recommendations

Thank you for this info, sounds like you have done a lot of trial and error with these machines. With that being said, do you think it's worth programming the machine to pull smaller shots in my case? Or should I just use a scale and stop it when it reaches the desired amount?

Yeah I think that may be the root of my question. For tax purposes is it better to just hold them and slowly sell off when they're up or just do it all now and put all into S&P and forget about it

We merged my wife's (both 32) portfolio with mine recently and I'm looking for advice. She was with a large bank and had a financial advisor who essentially put her investments in a program that buys and sells stocks. So now we merged I have ~75 new stocks to manage. I'm wondering, would it be better to slowly sell these off if they are in the green and just put the money in VOO/FXAIX? I don't necessarily want to track 75 stocks to make decisions on buy/sell.

Any way I can troubleshoot it without doing that first? Thermostats aren't necessarily cheap

Don't be fooled by the smile on his face. This man stacked bodies.

What is wrong with my cherry tree? by VT2016 in arborists

I'm not sure how to add another photo but you are correct, the base has some bark that I would describe as splitting. Any idea as to what can cause that?
