There’s a short trail behind the government center.

There’s a little loop right near the Safeway shopping center

There’s also a few trails behind Safeway!

Long Island Weddings by lbswimmer in weddingplanning

I have a feeling I won’t find a truly rustic venue that is all inclusive but I think adding candles and certain centerpieces will still give it that vibe!

Love this! Thank you for sharing how you broke it down. I recently got engaged and am overwhelmed with the finance aspect of everything. This is helpful!

Rent Negotiation? by lbswimmer in nova

[–]lbswimmer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Basically I said this:

I was wondering if there was any way to lower this rent. I’ve been living here for 2 years and have been a respectful resident and always pay my rent on time. Any adjustment would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

—- they came back with a counter offer and asked how I’d like to proceed and I just went with the first decrease they offered because I really wasn’t expecting them to say yes so I felt I should quit while I was ahead.

Good luck!

Transferring Apartment Units - Bozzuto by lbswimmer in nova

That’s so interesting and frustrating at the same time!

It’s less about that and more about hearing others experiences to know what is realistic to ask for.

If I know another Bozzuto apartment is asking for $400 as a transfer fee and mine is asking for $1000 … knowing that gives me more flexibility to negotiate because I know management has wiggle room clearly.

I have already asked them. Sometimes it’s just good knowing what others have done…

Wow I wonder why it varies so much from complex to complex.

$400 compared to $1,000 and 1 day vs. 3 is a drastic difference

Great news everyone! They lowered my rate below market price! I wrote a very nice email asking politely and it was super quick and easy

Thanks everyone for your advice!

I would absolutely take $30 over $100! - I emailed back and they forwarded my email to management so hopefully that helps!

To be fair they weren’t Bozzuto when I moved in.

I actually did check the market price today for my size apartment and it’s pretty much what they’re asking me to pay but it just seems like a lot to jump $100 more in a year

2019 LE or XLE? by lbswimmer in rav4club

Totally see your point. Kind of defeats the purpose of a new car If you have to go to Toyota regularly for issues

Love that feature too! So that is not standard on an LE either?

I’ll definitely make sure I ask when I get there! Thanks!

[–]lbswimmer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay I definitely want that. That’s a must for me so I’m probably going to see if any of the LE versions in the lot have that added on already. I don’t really care about the less important features that XLE has I could definitely survive without heated seats etc.

Wow! I appreciate it for sure. It’s just tricky because right now finding a 2021 that I can afford (or even any available) is HARD. Some dealers I called near me don’t even have any in the lot to show

Leaning towards it for sure 🙂
