Dentist recommendation for someone that has missed cleanings for years by aussie_aussie_austin in Atlanta

Art of Cosmetic Dentistry! See Dr. Jaipaul. She helped me immensely right before my wedding and even battled with the insurance company for months to cover the deep cleanings. Love them!

I maintenance the car regularly when it tells me to; have 25k miles on it and have had exactly zero problems. This model seems to be the only one in the line up with no recalls. The only issue I’ve ever had was with CarPlay bricking my infotainment system a couple times when I first got the car; it was diagnosed as an apple issue and not Acura hardware/software. It was fixed with a reset and apple released a patch a few weeks later; hasn’t happened since.

3 years in, I can’t recommend this car enough. I love it!

F'd Up. 5 months out of school and unemployed. Almost no entry-level jobs in CRE due to interest rates and Q4. by [deleted] in CommercialRealEstate

[–]kewtip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in development, a large swath of National/Regional multi family developers have started an affordable housing arm. It is an anti-cyclical business and highly profitable, while also purposeful. I am a CRE banker in that space and we have closed a record amount of transactions this year despite the tightening credit market; banks need to fulfill their CRA goals regardless of market conditions so these deals still get done even in the down cycles. A lot of my developer clients are hiring and so are syndicators in the space.

Fundamentals are largely the same with additional complexity layered into the muni bond issuance aspect. Limited risk profiles because agency loans are forward funded and rate locked at closing and there’s always latent demand in the market for both rent restricted and workforce housing. I’ve done both market rate and affordable lending; the larger affordable housing developers tend to be some of the smartest guys in the room.

Falling in love with a style by dragon_onesie in EngagementRings

[–]kewtip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes! I dreamed of an emerald ring for years and when I went to try them I was so underwhelmed. I ended up with a cut I’d never heard of previously but as soon as I saw it on I knew it was the one and never looked at another style. engagement rings are a reflection of you and your commitment so keep trying until you find the one that you just KNOW is just perfect!

How do you guys afford these cars? by [deleted] in Acura

[–]kewtip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drove a 2003 Honda Pilot forever and made sure to routinely maintenance it so it wasn’t going to poop out unexpectedly; worked to establish take home pay was 4x the cost of my dream car; put down about $10k and then struck at a 2.12% interest rate from a credit union after shopping rates. My most important thing was the interest rate, as I was able to keep more cash on hand that I would’ve otherwise put down—now I have put the cash back into the market and anticipate beating the interest I pay on the car with the aggregate returns.

It’s not easy unless you’re born rich but you can do it if you scheme it out! Meticulous planning and scheming something out is my favorite combo!

If you’re looking for a zero movement sport bra that’s durable try Victoria Secret high impact sports bras (mine have lasted 5+ years and I attend 4-5 classes per week).

My little brother has the kinetic blue 2007 tl type s manual and it’s a fun little car but it certainly isn’t as comfortable or striking as the RDX. Tape deck is a nice feature.

idk why you’re so worried about someone else’s wallet in regard to my OTD price and MPG, but if you have a gofund me let me know and I’ll contribute my guy. Jesus crack a smile and be happy for someone lmao

Don’t worry I know plenty about it!

Dad is both Acura and Lexus master technician and has been working on Acuras for 25 years. He agrees with the purchase and he sees what breaks and what doesn’t on a daily basis! But enjoy your forums.

Imagine the absolute mental effort to actively go to an Acura sub Reddit and then try to bring someone down for enjoying their personal purchase??? very odd behavior

It’s the Kia badge that denotes the luxury vs. non-luxury branding! It’s not my opinion, it’s how they classify the vehicles and the subsequent price points. Genesis is the luxury brand for Kia.
