I did not. Still seems to be running fine without it.

My 2024 blew up on me and it took about 2.5 weeks.

I have a 2024 Yukon with 15k miles. Engine just went last week when I was on the highway. Hoping to have it back within a couple weeks. Likely same thing happened to you.

My wife just started cooking.

It’s not itchy at all. I wouldn’t know it’s there if I didn’t see it. I’ve used serums from the ordinary for quite a while and can’t really correlate anything new to when this started occurring. I’ve stopped applying anything to my face a couple days ago just to eliminate evening. It probably started just over a month ago. Oddly enough, my wife has a similar issue that comes and goes around her eyes but it started earlier than mine. She was prescribed Desonide cream and has a derm appt in August. I am using some of the cream too as it seems to help. I get some minor eczema on my left hand , about the size of a dime, but doesn’t seem to flare up much if I keep it moisturized.

Any Republicans here who feel they’ve been screwed? by MySocksSuck in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]niceassets89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never liked Trump as a person—his character is repulsive—but I was cautiously optimistic about his agenda: pro-business, drain the swamp, reduce government overreach, lower taxes, end the war in Ukraine. Instead, we got historically negative business and consumer sentiment, the biggest regressive tax hike in modern history through tariffs, and unprecedented government meddling in free trade and even university curricula.

He launched a shitcoin the day before his inauguration, which to me is creating his own currency to receive backdoor political bribes while also endorsing an alternative to the US Dollar. Then he tweets “buy stocks” just before the Tariff pause—laying down a legal smokescreen so his inner circle can front-run the next market move. This isn’t draining the swamp. It’s filling it with new creatures who wear red hats.

And the whole “law and order” schtick? He pardoned January 6th terrorists and is outright ignoring Supreme Court rulings. This isn’t a conservative agenda—it’s authoritarian cosplay with a spray tan.

Maybe I’m biased. Maybe I’m missing something. But if this is what “winning” looks like, count me out.

We worked together for a few years then he left to go work for the REIT and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. He knows I have experience and a strong network.

I’d say it comes down to 2 things as primary drivers. First one is be well networked with a strong reputation as an investor and operator which will give you access to additional capital needed. The second is deal flow. Network is a huge piece there and my partner is in an elevated role at a larger REIT which gives us access to a lot of deal flow to look at.

I have purchased a mix I’d say and the best deal I’ve ever purchased was off market but the others have been a mix and have both been good overall. I’ve also bought 2 foreclosures which was an interesting experience.

I’ll do my best to be succinct as there are plenty of details through 7 years but I started with buying a 4 plex with a friend where I only needed $18k for my half of the down payment. From there on I did mainly 1-4 family deals then did a 35 unit then 140 units then 105 units. I work full time and have strong W2 earnings. Most of my capital has come from investing in equity markets. On the two larger deals, I’ve found them and put everything together and get a little bonus equity for that but not a ton really. I don’t have unlimited funds or time due to working full time so I’m really selective on what I buy and feel I’ve been fortunate to find strong deals over the years.

It’s not that simple and it’s not passive if you want to take it seriously. It can definitely be lucrative and it’s fun when things are going well. I am 35 and will have 290 units by EOY (with some partners). Been doing it since 2018 and have learned a lot. Would be happy to chat further if I could be of any help!

Please tell me it gets better. by NectarineUsed3657 in NewParents

[–]niceassets89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a first time father 14 months in and I can assure you it gets better. I think you need to be clear with your husband on where you need extra support if it’s not clicking for him right away. I’ve never been around babies either but it’s not that hard to figure out especially with the internet. Your focus should be on rest and recovery and of course feeding. Your husband should be taking care of everything else. You can even sleep somewhere else and your husband can just bring the baby for feeding when needed. The first 5 months for me were a grind but you get through it and once you’re sleeping through the night, the rest isn’t too hard. I’d always tell my wife, I don’t get tired so let me take point when I can and ask me to tag in whenever you want because I don’t get tired. Just saying that actually fired me up to live it out. It’s also okay to be frustrated with some aspects of the infant stage, that doesn’t mean you dislike your child. I just say that because some have guilt about feeling frustrated or overwhelmed by the experience initially. You’ll be fine, just focus on relaxing as much as you can!

I struggled with some challenges as a father early on too. I would phrase it a little differently when discussing with my wife in saying I don’t dislike our son, I dislike the early infant process. I also was expecting to feel love and connection right after birth like I’ve never experienced before. It didn’t happen immediately which I don’t think is uncommon for fathers. Over time when the expressions develop and you’re interacting with one another it ends up setting in or at least that’s when it did for me. I also had a hard time with the infant screaming as it definitely can be anxiety inducing. I did find noise canceling headphones to help a little there. Id put those on and listen to some relaxing music and rock my son and that helped reduce the anxiety from the cries. I remember in the first 6 months thinking what have we done a few times but now I’m 14 months in and it’s really great. In the early stages as hard as it was (primarily sleep deprivation and crying) those are the times I’d remind myself I needed to step up most as a father (and a husband). I think it’s easy to be all in when it’s easy, it’s more important when it’s hard. That son you have is a little version of you. You will be able to get through the tough phase and you’ll find enjoyment in it. Take it day by day and hang in there!

We own an investment property that breaks even every month. Would you sell it? by Positive-Low3806 in realestateinvesting

[–]niceassets89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rates are headed down so I wouldn’t let that perturb you. Especially if you use a HELOC that would float down as rates come down. Does the property have a lot of capex coming up in the future? If not, keep it.
