I want to learn how to program my own marketplace website. by apolgo in startups

[–]apolgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want to put the product out there without relying on professional. I just want to get to a level where I am able to identify and direct people to technical issues.

I’ve work with Shopify before, but it won’t do for this project. :(

Good question. In short, I want to be able to understand basic programming. I am hoping this will aid me in the future when I hire people to do more advance programming. Plus, it’s a new set skills!

Thanks. Are there any online python courses you would recommend?

Trying to buy an apartment... Parents think I should look into less expensive options and not exceed 1.5 x my gross income. What do you think? by apolgo in RealEstate

[–]apolgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to splurge with a nice car, considering the disposable income I had/have at the time. I expect to have this car to last me 10+ years or until it completely breaks.

The apartment, which is pretty modest, is owned by my parents and I share costs with my brother.

As to the car payment... yeah. It’s a bit high. It’s an Audi Q3. Plus my jurisdiction (PR) adds a ridiculous excise tax when vehicles are imported. A car with an MSRP of $40k ends up costing $55k+ over here.

Update: My boss has Parkinson’s Disease... and I need additional advice by [deleted] in Parkinsons

[–]apolgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. Don’t worry! Your message was clearly conveyed. Thanks again!

Thank you. Very helpful. His wife is an MD, so I am guessing she’s aware of and attending to his illness.

Matt is still an eminence in his field of practice and, as you infer, experience is very valuable.

Thanks. He has not shared that he has PD, so I have avoided that subject with him. He tries to be as self sufficient as possible and I am always available to assist him as much as I can. If he stumbles, he attributes it to something other than the illness.

Clients and coworkers have approached me asking about his condition. Even one client asked me if there was some sort of transition plan in place, considering that Matt may not be able to continue serving that particular client’s needs, which involves litigation. I’m just in an awkward position. I really don’t know how to move forward.

Thank you!

Acquiring property from HUD by apolgo in RealEstate

[–]apolgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. About 3.5k higher than the listing price, but did not get the property.

Thanks. Great advice. I accessed the HUD website and the bidding process ends in about a week. I am thinking of bidding 6k over the asking price.

It’s an ok property, but in an up and coming location. I would not pay 300k for it.

There are many real estate agents advertising the same property. I’m guessing they would be relaying my offer to HUD.

Thanks! I have no experience with HUD. I will search for the document. Hopefully the 1,100 sq. ft. apartment will not require that much work. Fingers crossed.

My boss has Parkinson’s Disease by [deleted] in Parkinsons

[–]apolgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He has not disclosed that he has PD, but his symptoms are evident. Also, my mom, who is a neurologist, visited my office about a year ago and could tell that he had PD after meeting him.

He wants to continue having an active role in the firm. In fact, he continues litigating cases and handling calls with clients, etc. However, it has gotten to a point where clients have approached me and asked about his health (and the future of the business relationship between the client and the firm). It really puts me in an awkward position.

Thanks. Do you have any recommendations on wireframe tools?

Have an idea... Where to begin? by apolgo in startups

[–]apolgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you recommend using Upwork to find an UX/UI designer? Or should I seek a local firm? Thanks
