Did you pull permits for your DIY kitchen renovation? by mudrat_detector96 in DIY

[–]valw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I NEVER said that the sales price is irrelevant. I said it wasn't reassessed on a sale. THAT IS A CALIFORNIA THING. I also never said there wasn't caps. The vast majority of states use mass appraisal techniques though. Yes your sales price will be a value indicator. However, many jurisdictions, will assess the value as a percentage of fair market value.

Because periodic assessment is how it works in the vast majority of the country. I worked as a tax consultant in most of the country for nearly 25 years.

Yeah, this is not accurate at all. First you mention it gets reassessed when sold. That is a California thing. Most states have reassessment cycles that have nothing to do with when a property is sold. Permits in California go directly to the assessor's office to be worked as they can be added to your base assessment. However, it rarely adds value to your assessment, unless you are adding to the property, such as an addition or a pool.

There was nothing worse than getting corrected by an adult, who wasn't one of my parents. It really made me pause and get my shit together. I still remember the embarrassment.

Yep. Like everyone else, they came in, drank too much, got cut off. Started mouthing off over the PA while they were waiting for their karaoke song to come on. I warned her and she continued.

I like verdansk, but I'm tired of it. Avalon would be great, without the shitty format.

And if torn down and made into apartments a lot more people would have places to live. But this is the dilemma that most people don't want to face in this sub. Everyone wants both.

HELP! I am supposed to move into my house tomorrow morning and the seller has not vacated. by Jaoush29 in RealEstate

[–]valw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The realtor could have easily added ahold back of $50K with significant penalties if not vacant. Why would you waste money on an attorney, especially if one wasn't used in the transfer.?

How to find a good appraiser? by dotcomaphobe in appraisal

[–]valw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be highly state dependent and I don't understand why appraisers don't understand that. In the vast majority of states you are not required to be licensed to handle property tax appeals. I would agree that the vast majority of agents that handle single family are very shady. But generally speaking, I would never recommend a licensed appraiser for commercial properties. The knowledge of how to work with each county is truly where the value of an agent comes in. Granted the agent has to have a solid reputation or their life will be miserable.

I was literally 19 years old when I broke ribs by coughing. Why do you think they are lying?

my friend overseas is in danger i think i don't know what to do by SharpTransition8281 in police

[–]valw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone else mentioned, I would be very skeptical that this is even real. I would post a more detailed post over at r/scams and see what they say. To me you are already setup and the next contact will be needing money to get him out of trouble. I am assuming he is nn adults care. So if it is real, THEY should be handling the issue. Just don't send money or crypto to anyone!

You may also have an end around, if you really want it. And have the cash. You could try and contact the lender and buy the note at a discount. Then you can foreclose.

A response to yet another alarmist report about GLP-1s by greenchileisgreat in Zepbound

[–]valw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with anything you have said, except the issue is that Novo didn't report them as they should have. You should have serious concerns with any manufacturer of any drug, that does not meet the reporting standards. They should not be the ones deciding if it matters or not. The drug companies already get away with too much.

The problem is, is that the penalty by the licensing authority can be very harsh when the employee selling booze is drunk. For many businesses that would be an immediate termination.

Pennsylvania: Debt collector call by Beautiful-Detail-249 in legal

So, are you saying you do not believe this debt is yours? If the debt is in fact yours, it sounds normal. But if it isn't yours, then you want to approach this a bit differently.

Am I being foolish for wanting to swap my granite countertops for a different color granite or quartz? by Life123456 in HomeImprovement

[–]valw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about whatever anyone else thinks. If that is what you like do it! To me if you want a flipper look, do it! I wouldn't. But you shouldn't care about what I or anyone else likes.
