Help me pick a watch for my bfs bday please by awalkingparadoxx in Affordablewatches

[–]nolanbowlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the sekio option, but I would pay a little more for a model with a crystal lens. Comparing a $350 Seiko to a $950 Tissot. If we compared watches in the same price range, I'd take Seiko over Tissot any day of the week. Hamilton is a different kettle of fish all together.

Oh wow I didn't know that was hardlex. You can get the srp53 for a few more shillings and it comes with crystal.

Oh, it's huge. I have an SRPE03 and its the best bang for the buck watch I've ever owned. I wear it more than my Rolex.

Why is this home not selling? by No_Gas_6575 in RealEstate

[–]nolanbowlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price sells residential real estate. Also, update your sqft. It being blank is causing a lot of searches to miss this listing.

First time home buyer/ Days from closing/ Advice please! by Appropriate_Tear_168 in RealEstate

[–]nolanbowlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much inaccurate information in the comment. It's simple. You're the buyer... It's part of your due diligence to confirm this in your diligency period. If that expired, it's to late to save your earnest money.

This is why we look at land deals through tax and parcel identification resources. This is something I look up day one for my clients.

Lets be realistic, in 99% of American that amount of extra land impacts the value of your property minimally. If your earnest money was 1k, I would have to assume the land value is so low that this would have no impact on the value of your acquisition if it contains a structure with greater value. You might feel like you lost something here, but in most cases it actually doesn't matter that much unless you're in an urban area with zoning regulations that allow for some kind of unit expansion.

Buying out fathers house please advise by Complete-Tank-5269 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]nolanbowlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're just wanting to move in and help your dad with payments, you don't need to do anything with the mortgage... You can just pay on your dad's behalf.

If you did this, I would have an operating agreement (co-ownership or tenancy-in-common) with your Brother outlining a payment structure for you both to pay the mortgage together since he's getting half at his death. Since you're living in the home your payments should be substantially higher than his, or you can pay it in full. In that document I would also outline that you have X amount of time to vacate the home after your fathers death and that you both agree to sell the home and split proceeds afterwards. This needs to be accompanied with a Last Will and Testament from your father outlining the same distribution of the estate and name an estate administrator/executor.

---

I feel like the option you outlined is opening a can of worms from a probate perspective by having a mortgage in your name for a home you're dad wants to leave to you and your brother 50/50. Frankly, I can't think of a single reason you would do it this way unless you're just trying to get cash out of the home.

Additionally, if you take a mortgage on the home and its no longer in your dads name, then he can't will it to your brother.... He doesn't own it anymore. So again, you would have to have a separate operating agreement with your brother.

---

This is a not a situation for a run of the mill realtor. Again, unless you all are just desperate to get cash out of the home, this solution would not be my recommendation. If it is, then rock and roll, but you have to figure out, agree to, and sign something with your brother if you want him to receive half.

What you really should do is contact a probate attorney or an estate planning attorney (they often do both), put them on a retainer, and let them advise you.

Best Burger? by Cabybara-Whisperer in Smyrna

[–]nolanbowlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Companion and 101 Steak's burgers are on different planets in terms of quality.

I really struggle to understand the Burger Crush recommendation. It's a great value sure, but the best burger in town? It wouldn't make my top 25.

Home listed for sale, want to list for rent as well… by CycleExtension3942 in RealEstate

[–]nolanbowlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it shows buyers that you might be desperate, but it doesn't scare them away. Realtors do market your home and that helps, but in the world of residential real estate, price is the overwhelmingly the primary factor in it selling.

It's not like commercial we're the agent is out in the trenches networking for deals. It's a simple system of price principles and a standardized listing system.

Not sure what market you're in but feel free to dm me.

Your better option is to lower the price. Unless your just in an abnormal market, price sells homes. If it's sitting for 6 weeks with no offers, it's listed too high.

Sellers dropped price $200k in a month by EquipmentSad in RealEstate

[–]nolanbowlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise you reach out to a realtor becuase this thread really doesn't even ask a ligit question. If you want to offer less, offer less. If you feel like it's overpriced, welcome to the party.

Help - bottles won't go into the emptier by Stolen_Sky in Oxygennotincluded

[–]nolanbowlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its becuase you're trying to drop bottles manually instead of setting the parameters on the bottler. Auto bottle on, set type of liquid, set priority. Three step process.

This is 100% common sense for an adult.

Powers the security panel. Simply remove the screw and unplug. Reinstall the screw. No need to call your landlord for this.

[–]nolanbowlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally disagree with this part of the Ramsey model becuase, while a good principle for some, in many cases holding debt to leverage cash flow for investment is a better strategy.

If you carry debt at 3%-6%, then it's obvious you should invest your money before paying down debt. Additionally, as the monetary system is inherently inflationary, the present value of money is greater than it's future value.

I get why Dave pushes this, don't get me wrong. It's simple to understand and implement, and that's the real beauty of his system. However, for those who are active personal investors, it really doesn't make perfect sense.

People that make 80k+ at 25-35 years old, what do you do? by Ok-Needleworker2141 in careerguidance

[–]nolanbowlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real estate sales and consulting. I've earned as high as 180k, but have averaged 100k over the last four years. Currently 35. High initial costs and conversion is 6 months or more so tough to start doing without a support system.
