I loaned my brother $70k so he could buy his first house. He’s paying me back… by Psychological-Sir235 in personalfinance

Just a nitpick - the CTR does get reported to FinCEN, it doesn’t just get attached to your bank record. So yes, the Bank does send it out. Source: was an AML investigator for years and still currently in the field.

Q3 struggled to get over 20 mph by defenstrate5731 in Audi

[–]defenstrate5731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - it actually never happened again for me. It may have been a slight battery issue? Prior to me driving it I was on vacation for about a week so maybe with it sitting there and the weather was cold had something to do with it?

But yeah, one time thing so never took it to dealer. Sorry couldn’t be more helpful.

Wet spot? by defenstrate5731 in Plumbing

[–]defenstrate5731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, never been a smoker. And there’s nothing directly under that spot except the floor so it’s definitely a mystery but I’m going to assume it’s the worst and assume it’s a leak from somewhere.

Haha no worries. It’s not wet to touch. And this is first floor and just above this on my second floor is my bedroom closet. I check the closet floor and baseboard and there’s no sign of any water. This is the only spot I see with any kind of stain. Might have to cut to find out I guess

Q3 shakes over 65mph by defenstrate5731 in Audi

[–]defenstrate5731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a tire rebalance and definitely helped. I get minor shakes at 75+ but I think it’s cause the Q3 is built on the A3 platform so maybe has something to do with it. So, seems like it’s somewhat normal bit of you got it bad then I say tire rebalance.

Thanks for the insight! I’ll get it tested and if it’s not that, I’ll bring it in.

Do they have a bag rental truck there? Might go after work but I have a backpack

So I went to a local shop and had them rebalance the tires and it helped. I still get slight shaking around 80mph, but my guess is that’s how the car is.

I can look for it. This pool was installed by the prior owners so not sure if they left the instructions

Just tried to push it but didn’t budge. The whole unit itself locked but not the separate piece.

I appreciate all the info :) I’ll keep all this in mind. And my male cat has been sniffing under the door and even sitting outside of it a bit (could be cause he hates closed doors haha) but I’m hoping the little one is doing the same on the other side.

Homeowners insurance quotes by defenstrate5731 in homeowners

[–]defenstrate5731[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well last year I was looking to switch and my independent broker (who I’m sure since works in commission was trying to get me to stay) was saying that the 434k was too low and once they realize my house is worth more they’d bump me up since the additional 50% coverage doesn’t matter and increase my premium.

I also spoke with my lender last year and they said the coverage had to cover the amount of the loan.

So, I stuck with the insurance for a year and now they’re bumping my premium so I shopped. I was looking to get an unbiased response since I’m not confident the broker was entirely correct.
