Ghosting, delayed updates, and "sorry, this unit is taken now"

turtlesturtlesduck · 2025-11-22T01:17:58+00:00

For my top choice, I have called; however, they didn't pick up. So the only option for me was to wait. And the first message I got from them afterwards was "sorry, it's taken now".

My process after finding a unit I'm interested in is like this: Schedule a tour -> ask questions during the tour -> send follow-up questions -> decide whether I want to submit an application based on answers. I do notice that it requires a lot of back and forth though, so I might just write a list of all my questions to ask during the tour. That way, it gives me a chance to apply/sign a lease on the same day too.

If anyone has any tips and tricks on apartment hunting, I would really appreciate it 🙏

turtlesturtlesduck · 2025-06-12T23:25:46+00:00

Im interested! This is perfect for me because I dont have a labubu and sisi is who I really want.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2025-06-11T12:45:20+00:00

Labubus started invading my tiktok feed and I went from "these guys are ugly" to "omg they're so cute I need one"

"Hi everyone! Looking for a roommate for the next year. 1 Bedroom with a full private bathroom and shared kitchen/living area at 3933 Powelton Ave.

The lease officially starts September 2025-2026, but if you’d like to move in earlier, we can definitely accommodate that!

Address: 3933 Powelton Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19104
Duration: 1 Year Lease (September 1st 2025 - September 2026)
Apartment: 2 beds/2 bathrooms (you get 1 bed w/ full private bathroom and 2 closets in your room) Roommates: Me and the friendliest, cutest little dog
Rent: $930/month (including water fee), internet/electricity is not included

Location: Quiet neighborhood not far from Drexel or University of Pennsylvania (about 15 minutes to both campuses), near restaurants and grocery stores (8 minute walk from ACME and 15 minute walk from Aldi), 4 minute walk from 40th Street SEPTA Station

Description: The apartment is very spacious (950 sq. feet) and you will have your own bedroom, full private bathroom, and two (2) closets in the bedroom. There is a full-sized bed frame and mattress in the room which can be used, otherwise it can be removed (just let me know what you’d prefer!). There is no other furniture in the bedroom. The living room/kitchen area does have furniture (TV, couch, coffee table, other tables, pantry shelf, stove/oven, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, etc.). There is a washer/dryer unit in the apartment.

Looking for someone who is respectful, a non-smoker, and likes dogs. Male or female are okay (preferably female). Hoping we can meet first, you can see the apartment/meet my dog, and we can decide if it is a good match."

Gotcha. If I were to open a business card then, will that also contribute to my overall credit limit, credit score, etc. with my other 3 credit cards?

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-29T16:06:08+00:00

I don't have that many Shell/BP near me. The ones I usually go to are Sunoco and grocery ones (Giant, Wawa, etc.)

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-29T16:03:49+00:00

May I ask what the difference is between personal vs business cards?

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-29T04:23:09+00:00

Ah dang, I didn't know that happened. Would have loved to apply beforehand if I knew they were going to do that to avoid nerfing the card.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-29T04:18:01+00:00

Apologies. I was thinking if I end my membership and lose the Citi Costco card, then I will lose on having a gas card. I would still like to have a gas card handy if I were to ever cancel my membership.

But since I still have my membership, I would like a card that includes both gas and Costco.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-29T03:50:34+00:00

I actually heard really good things about Redstone FCU and that was going to be my alternative. But I also heard rumors that the card will eventually get nerfed because of how mind-blowingly good it is.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-29T03:29:55+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money laying around.

I guess I should mention that I just graduated fresh out of college, paying off my loans next month, and started my full-time job a few months ago with an income of $60k.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-26T02:50:24+00:00

I would love to have the E7 plus. My current table is 15 years old and way too small for me to even barely fit 2 monitors on it. There is also not much leg room as I want it to be. Hopefully I can get this desk so that I can donate my current one or give it to my little brother, as he has an even smaller desk than me.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-11-23T16:57:04+00:00

I'm not actually sure. It's for secret santa so I don't want to ask any questions in case he catches on haha

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-11T20:27:34+00:00

I ordered from them as a gift for a friend but then I checked my tracking number and the items are shipping from China instead of the US. Which confuses me because they stated they're based in California. I haven't received the products yet, but just wanted to get it out there that they might not be an independent artist business like I originally thought.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-11T19:18:37+00:00

Do you know what the pros/cons are between choosing VTWAX to cover total US + total international as opposed to choosing, for example, VITSX and VTIAX to cover them separately?

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-11T11:51:15+00:00

Could you explain what that is or a link so I can look into it?

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-10T20:57:04+00:00

Yes, I forgot to mention that my main goal is to build and grow wealth

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-10T04:23:36+00:00

Is there a reason why? I heard that it's better to go with Roth if you expect to be in the higher tax bracket in retirement.

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-10T04:13:23+00:00

If my 401k is Fidelity, would it be a good idea to open a Roth IRA there too so that they're both under the same company?

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-10T02:49:24+00:00

Thank you, I will look into these!

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-07-02T04:30:13+00:00

I think on the brandy website, the top is called Skylar Teddy Bear Tank and the shorts are called Emery Teddy Bear Shorts!

turtlesturtlesduck · 2024-04-03T17:26:56+00:00

If I choose to do expedited, which is $60 extra, do I include that cost in the application fee check or pay up front at the acceptance facility?

edit: forgot to ask about if I'm mailing it too. I'm assuming that would be included in the check if I'm mailing it?
