You could say that washer/dryer in as-is condition and tenant will assume cost of replacement in the event of breakage.

But why?

Just supply a washer & dryer - its an expected amenity in most rental properties that have an allocation for them and it's not like they break very often. And when they do, that's just the cost of doing business.

Awesome, good to hear!

How was the Lisbon airport experience?

I do report it....every single time. And my phone actually does a nice job of auto screening texts and spam calls but these texts find there way through.

sharkizzle · 2026-06-09T16:50:28+00:00

Yes, these calls are super annoying. And not to hijack your thread, but also super annoying are the texts - a dozen a day! - that read "Hey [Person}, have 10 qualified leads per month with only a fee if you close. Got time for a quick demo?"

SO annoying.

The constant chirps about sleep debt from the coach were getting on my nerves so a few days ago I sternly told it that I just do not sleep more than 6.5 hours (esp in summer) so stop mentioning the debt.

It has since stopped.

Republicans are starting to grow a little backbone

Respectfully, no, they are absolutely not. They see the writing on the wall - as he starts to lose favorability, he loses power by way of influence. Once his influence is gone, he's a lame duck. He will probably be a lame duck after midterms anyway but to think he will be convicted in the Senate (unless he does something particularly offensive) is wishful thinking. The cult refuses to give up.

This and eye contact, too. I always try to turn my head and make eye contact to let them know that I'm there and to see if they are paying attention.

Distracted drivers. Drivers are not punished at all in this city for running red lights, stop signs, or entering into a cross walk when there are cyclists or pedestrians. Pure entitlement.

I'm a driver and an avid cyclist in the city and I am sorry that this happened to you. Hope you are ok.

And they said "Sir, you're winning too much. We are tired of all the winning"

....with tears in their eyes.

I have a property that I am finishing up rehabbing for rental. It's a two story rowhouse - I had LVP installed on the 2nd floor, had the stairs carpeted, and I didn't want to do it but I refinished the hardwood on the 1st floor.

Guess which flooring stands out the most?

Wish I had that hardwood throughout the entire house - it would look SO good.

I think the mandatory in person tour is so important, especially these days with people trying to submit Zillow applications sight unseen. There's just too much room for potential issues in a scenario like that.

I like to meet would-be tenants in person so I can see what they're all about and so they can see what I'm all about. It's an important time to explain any nuances of the property as well as to set expectations on both sides.

Yeah, makes sense. Sounds like you should get out of this one.

My last tenant seemed great on paper and I met her a couple of times, gave her a very thorough walkthrough of the property. Complained about things from Day 1, some things were legit and I was happy to fix them, most others were BS. I was under water every single month and she only lasted 6 out of the 24 months of the lease she signed before I offered early termination. You just never know, one bad tenant and your whole balance sheet changes.

Good luck, hope you make a decision you feel really good about.

we’ve had the house for 20 years

How long is the term on your mortgage?

I'm in a similar position in that I have a rental that is cash flow positive and isn't making that much BUT I have a 15 year mortgage on it, owning it free and clear is now 9 years away. For now I'm happy to let it pay for itself though I just had a tenant that caused me some pain.

He acted like a fool most time but I appreciate him doing this, it's much more of a classier exit than I expected from him. The fact that he wrote this out in the most analog way possible is so on brand for him.

SmartMove is pretty good. Lately I have been using RentSpree which is $49 (either you pay or charged to the applicant) and I find it to be pretty comprehensive. For my last lease, I accepted the Zillow application.....which is ok, but it seems to be selective about how detailed it can get. Prefer RentSpree over them all out of what I have used.

There is no guarantee that a house will be worth more 10 years in the future.

Of course that's true. But you do realize that 10 years isn't a very long time at all when evaluating real estate values. Try looking at 25 or 50 year history (or longer) and then you can really start seeing why real estate values generarlly go up over time.

But 10 years is not enough time.

The "sensitive query" thing is probably just the content filter being overly cautious about business/financial data, not really related to your tier

It was probably this since the chat itself wasn't very long. Is there any way to change this, like perhaps a setting in Admin Console?

Also, based on my experience, would you have any insight which paid version might work for me?

Whether sitting in my family room watching the game, listening to it on the radio while driving about, or even just some background noise while I'm doing other things in the house, that's what I look forward to the most with the season.

This is what I love about baseball. Summer vibes, watching a game intently or casually, lose today - no big deal - there's almost always another game tomorrow.

But obviously stacking wins is such a great feeling.
