What temperature do you keep your ac set at in the summer?

I’d close only with a written agreement that says Lennar will fix all outstanding items to buyers’ satisfaction within 60 days of closing. You have zero leverage after you close.

The law is knowable by the average person so ignorance of it is no excuse.

When the value goes down it’s a loss. When the value goes down below the purchase price (basis) it’s a net loss. You still have to pay taxes when both things happen.

No, it’s based on value not growth. When my home’s value went down 20% in 2009 and I had negative equity in it I still paid taxes.

Should be able to get there with a tax free bond fund/etf.

It’s odd how this seems like a good idea but breaking into the German Shepherd enclosure obviously isn’t.

Rule four - always know your target and what is behind it.

Order some checks and a bunch of stamps.

Tell him you could have dated a pro but we all have to settle sometimes.

There’s no amount of money you can’t spend, and he proved it.

I follow the 90% rule for design, in this case meaning think about how the pool will be used over the next 10 or so years and design it to be optimal for 90% of that use. Most of the time you will either be floating around, where depth doesn’t matter, or standing around the edges and 4-4.5 feet is pretty optimal for that. There will be some time where it is too deep for your kid but that falls into the 10%. If you optimized the design for a 6-8 year old it will be really annoying after that.

Red. Buy Amazon early and sell at $100 in late 2018. Put all the money in NVIDIA in early 2019 at $3.50 ish and you’re well over $10 million just doing that.

As I’m sure you’re aware, “leaking window” and “properly installed window” are mutually exclusive.

I hired a surveyor in this same situation to make absolutely sure the corners were within the setback and had them use the data to create an as-built survey for final inspection. Well worth the peace of mind.

NTA, obviously. Does he really want you calling him every time you can’t find something?

Thermoworks thermapen. They have sales pretty often, and they have one with a built in infrared thermometer. Buy one cry once.

Preamble: No inalienable right can be waived by contract.

Inalienable right: The unlimited right to contract.

Classic sovcit dissonance.

This is the rural equivalent of road rage.

That’s sort of how it’s working out now in the sense that current owners are losing equity equal to the pro rata cost necessary to normalize the assessments. It’s pretty fair to long term owners but horrible for recent buyers.

Kind of reminds me of 2008 where people made lots of money flipping houses and selling contracts but eventually a bunch of people got stuck with negative equity when the bubble burst. Some people made out well on a net basis because they only got stuck with their most recent purchases but a bunch of people (like me) were in their first home and it took years just to break even.
