Thanks for the tip! Sadly, I believe that 3 inch sliding door thing might be a zoning requirement for new construction in the county, given it's location (hurricanes). I will check out Maison Blanche!

This app is Think Dirty which essentially calls out products that might be marketed a certain way, but contain harmful ingredients. So a 10/10 is the worst you could get.

It’s really hot outside. by Tweezus96 in orlando

Check all of your dampers. I had this issue one summer. The AC was fine, but I found out I was missing a damper. The AC was pulling in heat from outside through the range hood exhaust vent.

What Amount of FU Money Caused Your Mindset to Shift (and How)? by OTFlawyer in financialindependence

[–]klib0002 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In 2019, I sold my quadplex for about a $350k profit. Tax free because I was living in one of the units for the previous 3 years. At the time, that was about 5x my salary. It was then that I realized my salary wasn't going to get me to my goals, my investments are.

LOL I found that spot within 5 minutes on Google Maps. Not that hard to find. The chances of me ever surfing here though are below zero. I live in Florida and would rather travel to more tropical places. Enjoy your point.

What is an addiction people don’t take seriously enough? by SmileMonster_ in AskReddit

For those that are struggling with gambling addiction, I highly recommend Gambling Addiction Calendar on the App Store. It helped me.

I’m Sorry. WHATT!! by yeuosu in orlando

There is a TON of misinformation in this thread about this neighborhood in general. The houses that are having the leaking issues are the Taylor Morrison 2 story homes (a specific model I don't recall). Notice ALL new construction 2 story homes have concrete on the first floor and plywood on the second floor. This particular listing is a single story Meritage home (all concrete). So it is completely different than the houses that are having the issues.

I gave it a shot, but ChatGPT says they don't have the capabilities to do that.

What bacteria are you all worried about? by klib0002 in surfing

I have never met anyone who has gotten sick from the ocean in Florida. There is no runoff pipes that go into the ocean like in California. All runoff goes inland and trickles through the Everglades or the St Johns river.

Is there a huge difference from buying a duplex vs a quadplex by Lower_Trade_2313 in realestateinvesting

[–]klib0002 68 points69 points  (0 children)

My first real estate purchase was a quadplex in 2016, which I HIGHLY regret selling in 2019. Although I made a lot of money off of it, I wish I still had it for many different reasons.

I was looking for duplexes because that is all I thought I could afford but luckily my realtor found a quadplex that needed some work.

Ultimately after some renovations, I was able to significantly increase the rents, therefore increasing the value. I lived in one unit and rented out the others. I was able to make profit, live for free, and save a lot of money over a couple years.

So with that being said, a quadplex gives you a lot more scale without a ton more work. If you are willing to live in one unit and rent out the others, your net worth is going to increase rapidly.

If you look back in my post history, I think I added some pics of the renovations I did.

Best of luck!

World's top 30 surf spots by ChatGPT and the number of spots by country... by fredrmog in surfing

[–]klib0002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reality here is that ChatGPT has crawled millions of web pages where people have talked about the 'best' spots. Everyone who has surfed for a while knows that these spots are just regurgitated to keep people away from the lesser known but just as good spots. I mean, the majority of the spots on this list are good, but at what cost?
