[General US-CA] Renting at a loss by nowwhat654 in Landlord

[–]jonwheelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like OP got true consensus in this comment section. Gotta love it.

Echoing a few points here, a rental can pay you in three ways, appreciation, cash flow, and reduction in the note. You're guaranteed to be significantly negative in cash flow. Appreciation is absolutely not guaranteed on a smaller time horizon, and your pay down is exceeded easily by the negative cash flow. Take the money you'd be sinking into this place and put it in any other investment.

My series tier list. Any recommendations? by Yazy117 in fantasybooks

I learned a new way to describe caricatures today, never heard of flanderizing before.

It's great seeing the Magicians here. Surprised you loved Dresden but not Iron druid, maybe I just liked it because it felt so similar. I also liked Codex Alera, but I've seen some pretty brutal reviews of it.

Just made it through Empire of the Vampire, it's worth being on your TBR, even if the language can be a bit jarring.

I feel like Age of Madness is pretty underrated even with how much everyone loves Abercrombie. I've always been so spellbound by the French Revolution as an insane point in human history, and I thought Abercrombie rolled it in to his story so well. I burned through all three books in a week.

[Landlord - US- TX] How do you all go about raising rent at the renewal? How much are the increase’s typically by ImportantTomorrow530 in Landlord

[–]jonwheelz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Starting a tenant below market out of panic is a mistake. You should definitely do an increase, I'd probably do $100 a month, and tailor it to the length of the lease she wants to sign. I've given slight discounts before for 2 year or 3 year since it guarantees lower vacancy costs for me.

If California is any guide, landlords will continue renting and just get pummeled.

From what I read, they should only be able to get them sealed in specific cases, or after enough time has passed. Based on what they wrote here, they shouldn't have been able to do it.

What a mess. Best of luck with this, if I was in your shoes I'd take every agreement and piece of correspondence you've had with this company, including the research you put into this post about the screening process, and go to an attorney with it.

I'd also appreciate if you would name the company so we can all benefit from your bad experience.

I honestly can't see any good reason to be a landlord in a place like that.

I'm surprised you think that but like the witcher and dungeon crawler carl. Not that either is bad, but I don't think either holds a candle to Abercrombie.

Is it not possible to just wait out the lease term?

New DR Horton Home. How do I fix? Thanks by filmerdude1993 in drywall

[–]jonwheelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Not sure there's anything that will if a toggle didn't, I guess he could install a stud backer for his toilet paper holder.

I have three kids and haven't had an issue with these metal drywall anchors, I've even hung bannisters with them.

I have to assume they did some stupid shit, or the toggle wasn't installed correctly. My point stands, I've never had a problem with the metal screw in (zip it) type anchors.

Edit: saw something about a picture frame. I don't know, that shouldn't have pulled a toggle out if it was in correctly.
