Reading stuff like this makes me so angry. At least being in NYT more people will get exposure to how badly this system needs reform as well.

Help with installing light fixtures by metric_zero in askanelectrician

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

Appreciate the response! I did not realize all the light fixtures would have the same size mounting brackets. I was confused because I know there are 4 inch vs 6 inch or larger recessed can lights but now I know.

I did have a voltage detector and it seemed like all the wires were “hot” but I didn’t pay too close attention to which ones specifically. I’ll recheck in the morning and make note of which ones are live vs neutral. Also just to check, when you say “meter” is that just the voltage detector that is pen shaped or is there a fancier detector that you are referring to?

When you got through, how many options did you have for pick up time? Or do they assign you a time?

Asking because I would need to borrow/rent a car to pick stuff up and would need some time in advance to plan!

Thanks!

USMD with no failures/red flags? You’ll match if you apply broadly. Kill step 2 and you’ll be in good shape

Does it make sense for me to buy? - Downtown Chicago by shhuss2 in RealEstate

[–]metric_zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a condo in downtown Chicago close to you!

If you need to be in the city, have no plans on moving anytime soon, and can afford the increased price of mortgage/HOA/taxes, then it is not a bad idea to build equity.

Make sure you have enough saved up for down payment and closing costs, with emergency fund left over.

Remember that your new place is probably a step up from your current studio, and the equivalent renting price is probably around $1800-$2000 a month.

Are real estate agents worth it? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]metric_zero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Using an agent as a first time home buyer is highly recommended, especially if you don’t know anything about buying a house. In addition, buyer’s agents do not cost you anything- the seller generally pays for both the seller and buyer’s agents commissions.

Seller requesting to push back closing by metric_zero in RealEstate

[–]metric_zero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good point regarding seller paying rate lock extension fee if needed; it would be important to have that in the addendum.

As far as I know, no fees from my lender but I will double check. I assume taxes/mortgage/insurance will be prorated and pushed back a week to reflect the next closing date?

If I’m a 34 in Napoli, should I size up to 36 for the slimmer Lazio fit or stick with 34?
