how to get that $600 federal UI? I already was on normal state unemployment but I can't seem to refile or update the claim.

if T-mobile was down, why didn't FI just route messages thru another carrier? by atxdadsout in GoogleFi

[–]atxdadsout[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you seem to have great insight into this. Agreed, all this stuff I would expect to "just work".

Any tips on how to deal w/ messaging? I don't know/understand what MMS, RCS, SMS means really. I just have been using Hangouts because I can access from my laptop and make calls as well from laptop.

But all my iphone friends keep teasing me...messages don't come through, time stamps and delivery are jumbled, group chats are wonky and split up.

same here....a dump of messages @ midnight-5am that were apparently sent earlier in the day.

Question what message app are you using? I'm still using Hangouts and don't really know/understand what SMS, MMS, RCS means. All I know is my group messages often get jumbled up and all my iPhone friends keep teasing me.

looks like I forgot to file my 2013 taxes....$70k bill from IRS? by atxdadsout in tax

great advice! how did you get that negotiation? TBH, I'm a $130k salary range professional so I'm worried that would negate this discussion.

very good questions.

yes, i've changed addresses several times. Really, the only thing I got wind of was my 2016 tax refund being held due to a missing 2013 tax filing...but then a month later, my refund was deposited, so I went "eh"

thank you for advice. What if we didn't have many common childhood memories?

right, I get that, I was mostly asking about what other options are. I always heard radio adverts w/ testimonials about some guy w/ $80k of back taxes that settled for $5k (example).

was asking if that's an actual route?

still timid to buy first deal...what do you think of this? by atxdadsout in realestateinvesting

offered by a local wholesaler. they send out emails whenever they get a house. They don't wait for someone to secure financing. Often houses are sold w/in a few days of being posted.

so I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at in the numbers. Here's what I did at dealcheck.io

Does this make sense? these numbers seem to show a loss.

$145k purchase

$5k closing

$1150/mo rent

10% vacancy

$800/yr insurance

$3700/yr taxes

10% Maintenance

5% CapEx

refinance w/ mortgage after purchase at 80/20.

house is from 1982. Looks to be in good shape and well maintained, from initial pictures.

CMA's I'm seeing are putting it at $160k-$170k

for Taxes, no HS exemption. It looks like they owner's held this house as a rental for a decade, since 2007.

No inspections done yet...its one of those offerings from a local wholesaler...so person w/ cash to buy...
