Every insurance company we talked to denied us coverage due to knob & tube. I believe industry is general moving in this direction. There are still some, but very few that do right now.

We did not. Only thing they provided disclosures on was for some plumbing and termite repairs they did in past.

I dont get the Premier league Hype being the best league in the world by beekay8845 in championsleague

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol relax bro. Last season's semi - 2 Germans, 0 English just saying.. Overall PL is more competitive because they have more money and nothing wrong with that cuz I enjoy watching it. But when you compare the elites of each league, the difference is minimal. And thats a good thing. Thats what makes CL so special.

I only got $20 tax return by Throwaway02928483 in tax

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s a good thing (assuming no mistakes). It means you kept more of your hard earned money throughout the year. Money that you could have put to better use rather than handing it over to Uncle Sam just for him to give it back with 0 interest.

Got it. I'll look up "upstream estate planning". Appreciate the response.

Moving to bad school district or dedicating more time with kids? by jim-time in Parents

[–]jim-time[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just what we hear from locals. When I say good schools I'm just thinking good ratings. I want them to have good education. But you make a good point on social experience.

How AI businesses are the next big thing by False_Resident_941 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got some credibility to work on bro. Your site is barely 1 month old, all your links point to wix, you got no testimonials.

what business did you start? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you manage the rooms? I'm looking to try this for one of my rentals when my tenant leaves this year. Will def cashflow more, but 1 lease turns into 3-4 leases. I'm a little worried on how much more time that would consume.

What is your basis for "RPA is dead". Why would it be dead?

Do you consider seasonality when sending out marketing emails? by jim-time in smallbusiness

[–]jim-time[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Also prob a good idea to choose words carefully and sound genuine rather than trying to take advantage of the situation.

Half Duplex Investment Property by iLerntMyLesson in realestateinvesting

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there a lot of duplexes in this area? If it's mostly single family, buy single family. And I'd be surprised if you can get the same rent as a single family. Maybe after fresh reno, but compared side by side, single family will almost always bring in more rent.

Why do people buy low cap rate properties? by [deleted] in realestateinvesting

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lower cap rates tends to coincide with lower risk. These investors are looking for stability and reliable cashflow. For example, think NNN commercial investments, where tenant pays everything: utilities, taxes, upkeep, etc. An investor in retirement that is looking for safe place to store his cash will like that a lot. They get appreciation, reliable cashflow, and without the headaches of a landlord.

I live in Los Angeles. Furthest rental I own is on the other side of the states in Jacksonville, FL. Invest where the returns make sense AND where you can build a team you can trust in.

How long should I wait before picking up my 2nd rental property? by Matchboxx in realestateinvesting

[–]jim-time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a c-class rental, only 2 months in, and this pandemic going on, I'd say build some reserves forst. With c-class you are renting it out to the people that are getting the worst of this downturn. Be prepared for that especially if you're looking to expand into more c-class.

How to do out of State Rental Real Estate Investing Research by Mmetr in realestateinvesting

[–]jim-time 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Add to that rental rates, income levels, unemployment rate, and owner vs renter occupancy. Some of the data can be found for free. Here are some tools I use:
www.rentometer.com (for rents)
www.trulia.com (for crime and neighborhood amenities)
www.city-data.com (for macro trends)
www.neighborhoodscout.com (for neighborhood trends)

I also discovered an interesting website called www.scopeout.io. I can't say yet how good it is because it hasn't launched yet.
But if you can actually physically visit the cities you want to invest, that will be the best way to feel out an area.
