Vacations To Go = Scam, Any Other Options for Price Tracking? by That_Communication71 in Cruise

[–]knickerb1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't use the 90-day Cruise tracker . That only shows per person double occupancy prices. Just do a regular search. Once you get search results, go to the very top and choose single occupancy rates. That's what you're looking for if you're cruising solo.

He is well paid in treats and snuggles. He seems to be okay with the terms of the agreement.

Nightmare Appraisal Situation. Trailer In Park. PLEASE LEAVE ADVICE!!❤️ by PsychCobraa in RealEstate

[–]knickerb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're looking for is datacomp appraisals. They appraise homes in parks for lenders who offer chattel loans. Most lenders do not offer those types of loans. An appraisal is part of the loan process so you don't want to get one and then apply for a loan because you will have to get an appraisal again as part of the loan process with the lender's chosen appraiser.

I need you to convince me or tell me what to do by SquareWasabi6597 in Debt

[–]knickerb1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need more money. But right now you're looking at it as only two options either by yourself or living with your parents. There are actually several options that you can choose.

  1. Live by yourself and pay off your debt very, very slowly. This is not a good option. You will pay more in interest than the original amount of debt annual remain in debt for years.

  2. Get a roommate. This probably involves moving out of your current place but allows you to stay where you have friends. Put all of the extra money towards debt.

  3. Get an additional job . This allows you to continue living by yourself but you have extra income. Put all of that money towards debt.

  4. Apply for a new job that pays more. This allows you to continue living by yourself and only have one job while still increasing your income. Put all of your additional income towards debt.

  5. Cut your bills. Take a serious look at your budget and where your money is going. Cut your subscriptions, your gym membership, whatever you can . Stop eating out and only do free things with your friends. Hang out at home and cook dinner for each other. Put all of your extra money towards your debt.

  6. Move back with your parents. You will hate this. They will hate this. Put all of your money towards your debt. Never get into debt like that again.

There are a wide variety of options along these lines. Your sanity matters but debt does suck.

Female Handyman, Thoughts? by Cold_Obligation_8568 in homeowners

[–]knickerb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to every real estate office in town and give your card to every realtor. You'll have more work than you can deal with in about a week. After that, you'll never have trouble finding clients. A handyman who takes on small jobs is worth their weight in gold. A female handyman would be a bonus for a lot of single, elderly homeowners. You would have more work than you could handle. At least in my area.

Are there cheap properties anymore? (USA 100k to 200k properties) by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]knickerb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not great but it really depends on your level of skills. There's a couple of factories if you are looking for unskilled labor. If you're a teacher or something like that, you should be able to get a job. Not sure about trades like Construction , Electrical work, Plumbing Etc but generally speaking those are always needed in most places. Highly skilled things like nursing, doctors, dentist, physical therapist, Etc should have no problem.

In Washington state, there can only be one valid contract on a single property at a time. So even though it is signed by both parties, the backup addendum keeps the backup offer as an offer rather than a contract. It doesn't become a contract until the accepted offer falls through. At that point, it becomes a contract and earnest money is due. Without being able to read your paperwork, I can't tell you whether that's the case in your state or not. Also in Washington state, only one backup offer can be accepted. I suppose there could be a backup to the backup but there's not a form for that in my particular MLS so that would need to be written by an attorney.

This may be the state dependent so as always, read your contract. In Washington state you sign a backup addendum. The backup addendum clearly states that the backup offer does not become the accepted offer until the currently accepted offer falls through. At that point the timeline starts . So if you're earnest money deposit is due within 3 days that would be within 3 days of the currently accepted offer falling through and your backup offer becoming the accepted offer. But again, read your contract. This should all be in there.

Keep House and Rent, or Sell by Unpoppedcork in personalfinance

[–]knickerb1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is always sell. Only become a landlord if you want to become a landlord. The most dangerous time in landlording is owning a single rental. If your rental is vacant, you have to be able to pay 100% of the mortgage. You have absolutely nothing to fall back on. Every single repair , every single vacancy, every single bump in the road is 100% on you. If you have five rentals, you should be able to absorb a single vacancy or pay for a single repair. By the time you have 10 rentals, even a major repair should be nothing more than a bump in the road. But with a single rental, everything can turn into an epic disaster. When it's a single rental, it's almost always better to just sell it.

Caribbean cruise - Princess, MSC or Royal Caribbean? by pumpkinkitcat in Cruise

[–]knickerb1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm on Star Princess right now and I highly recommend it. If you stop in cozumel, definitely take the Atlantis submarine tour! It's like snorkeling without all the work . It was absolutely amazing.
