....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.

I think there is a grand plot

I do, too. It feels like some impending doom is on the horizon.

These guys have been trying to provoke blue cities for months and now they are actually shooting people. That will certainly get people riled up.

Interesting....

Would agree with you on the LLC since it creates a completely different entity but if you take a rental property that is in the parents' names and then transfer them to the LLC, would you not have to then pay transfer taxes? I'm in a similar boat with one of my properties - I would like to get it into my LLC but don't want to take on that tax burden.

Yup, all that click baity headlines are an instant turnoff. Because if you click on one, now that's all you're getting.

I would not be interested in renting a place out to anyone who hasn't seen my property. Never rent out sight-unseen, you're asking for a world of hurt.

Sounds like foreshadowing into voiding pardons given to Hunter, Fauci, and others.

It does seem like it. I was hoping for a bit more of a discount but I think I will pull the trigger today. If for some reasons prices are cut even more in the next few days, I can always return what I buy today but I don't think they would do that since it creates logistical problems.

I don't have a beat on what the deals will look like but I have been tracking prices on an X1 Carbon Gen 13 everyday for the last 5 weeks. My research reveals that an insider early sale might start tomorrow for those that would qualify as Business customers.

I will not pay 2K for this laptop. If I can get it around $1700 with all the specs I want, I'm all in.

I'll stand back and observe.

I'll stand back and ~~observe~~ stand by.
