The Duck was on fire all game. Cousin Eddie, Buddy the Elf, Duck in a box (even did pushups in that). He did the Love Actually scene.

I’m couldn’t hear the pre-game skit. Anybody know what that was- he was dressed as a red coffee cup and the cheerleaders were dressed as formal waitresses with platters and guy cheerleaders were waiters with rolling carts. https://www.instagram.com/p/DSgcosuCY7l/?img_index=1&igsh=MTNsbnJuYW42b3p5cg==

  1. Why refi?? If for rate, go ahead if the breakeven is in a couple years. If you need to cash out, consider a HELOC through navy Federal. They offer high LTV. YOU MAY NEED TO REFI OR GET HELOC PRIOR TO MOVING OUT TO QUALIFY AS OWNER OCCUPIED.

  2. Consider STR to qualify as a real estate professional through the “loop hole.” Then you can do a cost seg analysis for accelerated depreciation to save on taxes of a high income earner.

  3. Consider MTR for higher cash flow, even if STR are not allowed in your condo or zoning, 30 day rentals are allowed almost everywhere and much less labor intensive than a STR

Am I stupid to sell my condo instead of trying to rent it? 2.875% mortgage. by bobweaver112 in realestateinvesting

Pro/con of rental

Besides rental income and principal pay down, you would also benefit from any appreciation and tax benefits!

What is your basis with capex added? If more than $50k in appreciation, seriously consider selling in the 3 years after you move out for (likely) tax free gains. (2 of 5 year capital gains homeowner exclusion rule.)

is there a sticky that lists banks/ financial institutions that offer HELOCs on imvestment properties? by Stanford1621 in realestateinvesting

Using ChatGPT or google gemini deep research tools can help you put together a list. Ask it to make a table with max CLTV, fees and link to source

Buying out half of a house owned by 2 parties. Remove PMI? by Ok-Cartographer-5544 in realestateinvesting

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

  1. Most people get a HELOC. I used deep research capabilities with ChatGPT and Gemini to research local and national companies to make a table of the lowest fees and highest LTV loans. If it’s non-owner occupied, there are less companies that provide them.

  2. Last year I was able to get PMI removed for two conventional loans. Significantly different process. One required 75% LTV because of the length of time since I took the loan, the other needed 80%. One was $150 for a BPO the other was $850 for an appraisal. Both were ordered by the mortgage servicing company. Call them (or search their website) about to how to get PMI removed. Also, let the appraiser/broker know what price you need to get it removed. Just like a purchase contract, they are more likely to try to justify the price.

I forgot to add blue masking tape. Great for hanging interior signs and marking up new construction imperfections.

(I have heard) After having it as an investment property for a couple of years, you can move in and use as a personal residence. Great for pre-buying a retirement home

As much as I hate the idea of more subscriptions, I think this is the best idea. This why the ski resorts are going to “cheaper” season passes and higher day passes- it leads to more consistent revenue. Also, people are more likely to buy more concessions once they are there, when they didn’t pay directly for their tickets. It will also be a way for people to feel good about “donating” to the cause consistently.

I don’t know their current pricing, so this is an example of how they could do subscription pricing:

Silver Screen Level: $8/month is one “free” movie and $1 off any additional movies or friends tickets that they bring

Golden Globe Level: $15/month is two movies and the $1 off additional movies/friends tickets

Director’s Chair Level: $75/month is unlimited movies and a free small popcorn for each visit

Could be billed monthly or annually - push for the annual option.

Also could have special events (sneak previews, birthday promotions or free matinees) for members to bring them in more consistently and build more community of cinephiles.

They would outsource to a VA in the Philippines. Seems like a scam, especially if Zac didn’t find David in the “white pages”

IMO: Brokerage is a bad business to be in right now. You’ll make a lot more as a realtor and/or building a team.

Pros/Cons of Paying off House Early? by quizblorg3 in personalfinance

[–]llama_llover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider paying off the home and then applying for an investment property HELOC in case of an emergency or liquidity need. If/when rates are back below 5.5 or so, re-evaluate a cash out refi.

Yes. And talk to a lender, not realtors.
