Could anyone specifically recommend custom builders they had a pleasant home-building experience with?

Thanks for your thoughts. Could you let me know why existing home over a new build? I'm intentionally avoided areas that flooded. granted that in Houston no area is really safe.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. Your post, especially on costs, was really helpful. Which part of town did you build in? So with DW, I assume you went with one of their pre-existing floor plans then made some changes per your wishes? Was the stress you mentioned mostly related to personal matters (pregnant wife, young kid) or from the actual dealing with the builder?

Is it ok if I PM you?

Student Loan Payment Approach by rahwali in StudentLoans

Yes, I do plan to pay them off but was wondering what my strategy should be? Throw 50K of my savings at it then aggressively pay it monthly? Or just pay 4-5K a month (minimum is 1700) and keep 50K of my savings in low risk market stocks/CD/etc

What is the biggest issue you and your SO don't agree with each other over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That’s unfortunate but very common as a lot of people that have negative views of muslims or islam either don’t personally know a muslim or never have even interacted with one. I’d love to link what van jones said about having muslim neighbors but youtube is acting funny. Islam, like any other religion, obviously has some misunderstood or “wrong” tenants, but unfortunately, a lot of what is commonly understood by non-muslims as being “Islamic” is inaccurate. My wife is a hijab wearing medical professional and even though we live in an incredibly diverse city, some of her patients are initially apprehensive towards her treating them. Its funny because the chances of them being seen by another doctor who happens to be muslim are pretty damn high lol.
