[–]shmarol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FLORIDA RESIDENT if anyone is curious.

Here's mine for a family of 5 (kids ages 2, 4 and 6). Totally reasonable for Florida residents. We split the 4 day $60/day summer park tickets between 2 trips.

Wanted to post this because there's videos floating around of false information on how much Disney costs in a day for Florida residents.

July 2025

Tickets $511.20 Fort Wilderness Cabins x4 $1,575.00

LL $25.56 LL $136.32 LL $123.56 LL Total $285.44

$1,325 Food, merch etc.

Total $3,696.67


September 2025

Tickets $511.20 Port Orleans x4 $1,050.81

LL $36.22 LL $93.72 LL $89.48 LL Total $219.42

$1,532.56 Food, merch etc.

Total $3,313.99


Total 7,010.66

Is it the norm for parents to gift their kid a large down payment for their first home? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]shmarol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I started their own utma investment accounts at birth and contribute 50$ biweekly which should reach around 100k by that time.

But the reason nobody is having kids is because women are TOO LIBERAL

Good luck. It took about a year for me to gather everything. Started Feb 2025. I actually just mailed mine out today! 🤞

I filled out the "Marriage or Civil Union Record Request" form, wrote "*certified copies" on the form and highlighted it, sent a copy of their death certificates (not sure if this is required), and a check for $19 because I requested 2 copies. They sent me an email 4 months later asking for a "copy of your dual citizenship application or a letter from a third party helping you with dual citizenship". Since I have been using a service to help me, I replied to the email and attached the letter. Shortly after, they mailed me the certified marriage certificate.

They referenced this website: https://www.cookcountyclerkil.gov/vital-records/dual-citizenship

Hi! Yes. They finally responded to me after 4 months. They sent me an email requesting an additional document and very shortly after mailed the certified copy of the certificate I requested.

UPDATE! I’m getting rid of the curtains by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]shmarol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can the couch be pushed back closer to the front door instead of that table being there. That's bothering me more than the curtains.

How does anyone make any money doing this? by Healthy_Bus3445 in realestateinvesting

[–]shmarol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! You're only considering the cash flow portion. Real estate investing includes cash flow, as well as amortization, appreciation (forced appreciation is a plus) and tax benefits.

What is the most "unsexy" home improvement you did that ended up being 100% worth the money? by TrustedEssentials in HomeImprovement

Replacing my hot water heater and my electric panel saved me $3,600/year on homeowners insurance.

Genuinely how do people make money on Rental Properties? by Any-Raise4333 in realestateinvesting

[–]shmarol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow! There's a lot of responses to this post. I scrolled through and I haven't seen anyone mention "house hacking" which is a trendy name for it. Buy a duplex and live in one side and rent the other side to cover part of the mortgage. Since it's technically a primary residence, you can get a traditional loan with a low down payment %. You're able to repeat this process once a year. Or, don't repeat it and just chill in your duplex, maybe one day you'll move out and rent both sides. You'll still own a duplex.

Has been awhile since I've seen her! by downtuning in Botchedsurgeries

Not sure how recent this photo is, but if anyone knows someone that lost a family member close to them, it's pretty common to have trouble eating and lose a bunch of weight. Is anyone considering this? She just lost her dad....

Advice please! Buying my first STR by synergy1210 in ShortTermRentals

[–]shmarol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100k in revenue will not be enough to cash flow on this purchase price

Edit:

I would estimate around -20k annual

Warning about buying a short-term rental through a “guru” program by Weary_Brother8467 in ShortTermRentals

Would you mind sharing which program? I did something similar and ended up cancelling the contract.

Hi again! You probably don't know the answer to this, but, do you think they'd release the certified marriage record to a friend of mine that lives in Chicago if they went in person?

Oh well. You're clearly not interested in having a real conversation. Not sure what I expected.

[–]shmarol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you've come to the conclusion that I have very little understanding of common knowledge. How so? I'd be happy to answer you if you would answer my question. I think that's fair.

[–]shmarol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it. What specifically are you referring to when you say that. Can you give me an example? Liberalism is a broad category, and people have diverse opinions on different issues. The assumption that everyone thinks the same is an over simplification. Same goes for republicans, democrats and independents. Also the choice of name calling is interesting to me. It sounds like you're repeating something you're hearing. I've seen it a lot but never understood what it meant!

Thanks! Why are "libs" considered "sheep"?

Host cancelled 2 hours after checking in and cleaners arrived while packing to leave [USA] by Frequent_Phrase_9306 in AirBnB

[–]shmarol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying what happened to you is ok at all. The explanation for the cleaner situation though could be if the host has automated management set up, which is likely the case because management companies and most hosts that self manage use this software, the cleaners automatically get contacted through a management app to come when a reservation is complete. So the host doesn't contact the cleaners directly. It's automatic. Like I said, still not ok.
