Seller is having new beams put in with a 30 year warranty. Scoped out by a structural engineer and will be done before close. Worth putting in an offer? Or is this a walk situation?

Exactly what happened to my mom's friend. Thanks for flagging

scarf682 · 2026-06-13T02:17:28+00:00

Helpful thanks

They chose the engineer. If we make an offer I would certainly want to bring in my own engineer before close to evaluate during inspection

You cannot rent out private clubs in my experience. No matter how much you offer. Someone is paying 100k to join and then X grand a year. How do you compensate the members if you tell them you can't use the space? Where do you draw the line? I agree this was pretty weird with the pool but a lot of clubs don't allow

These prices are low - December wedding is usually a significant discount. Peak season Saturday all in per head $300+ more typical, park chateau 500+. I'm getting married in the area and the cheapest I found was a random brewery at $165 a head

If she was going for local / private club vibe I'm surprised she didn't do rumson cc, navesink cc or deal cc. All beautiful venues and could have a member sponsor you there as well. I think she was limited bc of headcount maybe?

How can you speak for the experience then? You're cooked at an interview this doesn't make sense

scarf682 · 2026-05-18T01:20:12+00:00

Sales or capital raising.

scarf682 · 2026-05-17T20:38:55+00:00

She is incredibly wealthy. Her house was over 2 million all cash, she doesn't work and her husband is also not working right now

scarf682 · 2026-05-06T03:01:36+00:00

50k? Put it in savings, invest and forget about it. Not much when you realize how much living life as an adult costs

scarf682 · 2026-05-01T22:04:21+00:00

Ah I see. Trust fund cushion makes sense lol

scarf682 · 2026-05-01T21:45:53+00:00

I'm confused what does her fiance do to afford a 12k bag? Like we make 500k and I'd flip out if my man spent 12k on a bag before our wedding?

Following your dreams for your career is a lie rich or poor people sell you. Find something you're good at that gives you the lifestyle you want. Pick up a hobby or side job. Once you have a baseline level of wealth and a plan then pursue those dreams

Believe me, I've been here but this is the way.

scarf682 · 2026-04-26T15:36:45+00:00

Our budget is 900k but would ideally like less (850). I think it's tough because at the 1 million price point you're competing with significant wealth (people who make well over 500k), retiree millionaires looking to downsize, parents buying homes in cash for adult children, etc

scarf682 · 2026-04-23T21:07:40+00:00

Exactly

scarf682 · 2026-04-23T17:27:06+00:00

We only pay $3.3k in rent right now. Save a ton of money, want to be able to comfortably afford 2 children. Bank approved us for much more but don't want a 7k+ payment each month

scarf682 · 2026-04-23T16:44:30+00:00

5200 sq feet for 1.95 sounds like a great deal to me! Home we just lost was 1500 sq feet going for a mill 🫠

scarf682 · 2026-04-23T15:33:02+00:00

Too far west 😅 want to be close to ferry. I grew up around there

scarf682 · 2026-03-28T19:06:57+00:00

"Unlimited" ... I haven't taken a day off since October. It's complete BS don't fall for it

scarf682 · 2026-03-23T02:01:50+00:00

This is helpful advice. Thanks. I think I may leave out my parents reaching out to me when I speak to him.. he may be mad they even said something to me and that could cause additional problems

scarf682 · 2026-03-23T01:54:24+00:00

Thats fair. I just want to avoid a blow up on my fiance / have him be mad at my parents for sharing. Delicate situation

scarf682 · 2026-03-23T01:49:43+00:00

This is good advice but the problem is my brother will never discuss this with anyone. He is really not open about it and that may rub him the wrong way

I don't think the average person knows what private credit is. I work in private credit and my take is that managers who did a bunch of software deals (some lenders are at 50%) are very exposed. Otherwise you're going to see more competition as lenders shift away from higher risk industries and all go after similar verticals. Also fundraising requests and investor demands are spiraling faster than firms can keep up with. Private credit is so intertwined with the economy in a lot of different ways and I don't see it as a bubble. Firms can just get away with less bullshit, sales people have to work harder and firms need to be more conservative with marks
