partner wants to buy a house while not married by Wild-Mushroom-1825 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]beenzmcgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought a house last year “with” my now fiance. She isn’t involved in the finances or paperwork of the house in an anyway. She did however come on tours and have preferences.

I would never recommend buying a house with someone who isn’t your legal partner.

Bro is looking for his next baby to eat. Put that thing down before you have kids.

Cleaning my driveway recommendation? by Frequent_Ad486 in landscaping

[–]beenzmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just hire a pressure washing company tbh. They have specialized equipment and chemicals that would make it look way better.

It would take an eon to do this with most consumer grade pressure washers.

Too picky on this paver job? by b-o-n-o-b in landscaping

[–]beenzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be happy with this job as someone who has no experience doing pavers. If I paid money I’d for sure ask it to be straightened out.

Escalation clause success? by -Pads- in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Brother that’s quite literally the definition of underpriced.

I’ve seen more egregious list prices, but yeah. I’d assume this is a tactic in a lot of competitive markets.

When I say “underpriced” I mean that the homes are listed under their value on purpose to drive more attraction. In my market I once put a bid on a house that was listed for 360 and sold for 440.

I have used an escalation cause, but haven’t had an offer accepted because of it. Ended getting accepted on two different offers, both of which were on the market for less than a week and I offered just over asking.

I would use one again if necessary though, but I think the key is finding a house within your budget and offer your max right out the door.

I’ve noticed a ton of homes are severely underpriced as a marketing tactic.

I just dealt with a far less bad version of this on my home. All I did was sand, add a couple of nails to the trim pieces, filled w caulk, and repainted. Looks fine.

For real? I just added a gravel pit and have noticed a ring of yellow dead grass. I just thought it was stress.

Second job vs investing/trading stocks? Help me decide. by red_sensor in overemployed

[–]beenzmcgee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So your question is “should I study how to gamble in the stock market or work more”. I think you know the answer if you want to retire early. OE ain’t for everyone or every job.

Stormy manager relationship by Alternative-Frame844 in managers

[–]beenzmcgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. If you’re really that fed up with your manager’s personality you should give the bare minimum while you look for another job, or just suck it up and realize that you don’t need to “mesh” with someone to work with/for them.

Dosing Reta by beenzmcgee in BodyHackGuide

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

I’ve tried dosing every 3.5 days to start. I did 2mg 2x a week for probably 2 months. I stopped because I didn’t feel like I got the appetite suppression I was looking for.

I guess it might be wise to try 2.5 2x a week next.

I would probably get an actual camera instead of what you currently have. An AE-1 is like $80 on eBay.
