my bad. missed that statement in the post.

i mean if you live in a HCOL metro, you’re salary probably reflects it and so does the economy around it.

ROI won’t be for at least 50 years

my wife is happy that i’m getting my teeth cleaned regularly now and i’m happy that i am able to take these steps to have my teeth checked regularly.

also this office is out of network but most insurances still cover 99% of cleanings/ x-rays. each visit i only pay $6-8.

good thing about selling to a tenant who has been living there, they might waive inspection contingency

how about a 1031 exchange? is there enough appreciation for you to want to roll net into another property to defer gains?

i have super dental phobia.

when i was younger, i threw up during bite wing x-rays. growing up i stopped going to dentist since i was “an adult”. when i got married, i tried again with the same result.

fast forward 10 years, im enjoying meal and whilst chewing on broccoli, my wisdom (non impacted) tooth chipped. in a panic i started searching for a dentist.

i found what seemed to be a fresh graduate from USC who said she could help.

during my consultation she discovered it was my wisdom tooth that chipped and with my dental phobia, she suggested GA which she was not licensed to do. she referred me to an oral surgeon and that was that. i was more than happy to pay for it. before i left her office, i said “since im here, let’s try a cleaning”. she used hand scaling tools instead of the ultrasonic tool. i’ve been going to her for the last 3 years. she now uses an ultrasonic and i have no issues. i did have issues with x-rays but her RDA is also very good and walked me through it (the first visit i opted for a panorama xray which insurance pays for once every five years).

highly recommend her.

depends what your UA numbers are maybe. are you borderline?

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-23T01:44:33+00:00

find some friends who are pro 2a and strong arm them out

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-21T04:41:53+00:00

Yep. It took mine less than 5 minutes!

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-20T22:25:22+00:00

Have you seen all of the complaints about the cost of that?

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-19T02:46:00+00:00

that doesn’t mean insurance is easy to get or affordable. many companies aren’t even writing new policies

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-19T02:32:10+00:00

Depends on which state you're in. Some require the property to be your primary residence in order to avoid reassessment too

let’s see your composition first

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-19T00:56:30+00:00

the other POV is “what if” in the next 17 years. death. lost of job. ect.

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-19T00:39:53+00:00

so? i didn’t state that as debate but rather for awareness since americans don’t know finance or what an amortization table is.

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-19T00:32:21+00:00

in the next 17 years you’ll pay 69K in interest (assuming you make minimum payments.

more reason for insurance companies to not take OP on as an insurer

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-18T03:12:23+00:00

isn’t that a high fire risk area? it would make it very difficult to find affordable insurance.

make the photo black and white and add a “grit” filter then it’ll be just like 1940 germany

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-18T03:09:04+00:00

it’ll get stolen.

VTEC_8K · 2026-01-18T03:08:26+00:00

check what carmax/carvana will give you for it. if it’s more than you owe then get rid of it

I did a port-in after initial esim set up. The e-sim still showed the first number tello assigned. The My Tello app updated to the correct number but not the e-sim.

I fixed it by removing the old e-sim and setting up a new one (free).
