Double down and triple down with deflection. Not surprised. Do you stand behind the question you asked or think your post is wrong? It's not a tough question. Let's hear a simple, straight answer without a paragraph of gobbleygook. Your diametrically opposed posts are only three posts apart. Read them both and get back to us. K? Thanks.

 

[Flyn]

Here, I put them together to make it easier for you.

do 'races of color kill each other more' or does this have more to do with wealth/location/opportunity??

uh in 2021 that's not really the question. at least for most people

 

[sickmint79]

wow. you are too stupid to understand it after i just connected the dots for you. maybe you need a nap or something, good lord.

 

[Flyn]

And, still no straight answer. Back to attacks because you have nothing. Who is the stupid one?

Let me explain to you what happened. You asked a question. I agreed it was a pertinent question. You find joy in disagreeing with me regardless of the topic so you did. You didn't realize you were the one who had asked the question. I pointed it out and you self destructed. That's pretty stupid. Why not say Whoops, I made a mistake and move on? Let's get back to real estate in this thread. It's not politics.

Time for a small rant against "weekend" Realtors. I'm on call this weekend and took a call from a Realtor asking for a showing. Read her the showing instructions and made a point of saying the seller wants to make sure lights are off and doors are closed and locked. She said she understood and then left the door between the house and garage wide open.

Another Realtor said he might show the same house this weekend. I said OK and read him the instructions. Told him 3 times to text me before he showed the home so I could notify the seller. He didn't. Just showed up at the home while the un-notified seller was there. Seller is not happy with either Realtor. Our administrative assistant will be calling both of them tomorrow to ream them out a bit.

Part time, weekend Realtors. Gotta love them.

i'll try explaining it to you one more time:

- it was not a real question
--- ever
--- i know i asked it, because i typed it
- it was a rhetorical question
- the point was to elicit the statement 'races of color kill each other more' has nothing to do with actual race, and is a matter of location/wealth/opportunity/lack thereof/history/etc/anything but race

Looked at this house back in April. It was $375k and needed a total gut. Tons of water damage.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Apparently gutting and selling means a 227% increase in value.

Meanwhile I'm watching WI houses DROPPING in price the past month. Almost every single house I've looked at has been on the market for 40+ days and are all seeing price drops.

Apparently gutting and selling means a 227% increase in value.

Meanwhile I'm watching WI houses DROPPING in price the past couple months. Almost every single house I've looked at has been on the market for 40+ days and are all seeing price drops.

:goodgood:

Everything in that neighborhood is relatively pricey. $600-1.1mil

no doubt they sunk every bit of $400k+ into the house.

I was going to ask what the neighborhood was like, value wise. Makes more sense then.

Man, a lot of brokerages are trying to hire me lately. Some of the offers aren't bad. Maybe I move my business if the perfect one comes along. I'd give my broker a chance to match, of course.

You bid out any jobs/work you do right? No reason not* to do the same with your employment.

It came up in one of my promotions and I dropped specific #’s for the market I’m in - big boss was almost offended… when I brought up the fact we need 3 bids for anything over $10K it finally clicked for him.

No company will ever miss you for more than 30 seconds unless they realize how bad they screwed up- keep them honest.

Mortgage rates are starting to climb recently. Factor them in when considering a purchase now or later.

Mortgage Rates Higher Than at Any Point in 2021

In the first week of 2022, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage jumped nearly 60 basis points above where it was a year earlier.

I sent the link to my wife and her brother that also lives here in Yorkville. I said we should sell both our houses and buy this. They were not amused.

Seems high for plano

 

[blue-sun]

Agreed, high for Plano. But then again it’s 3 individual houses, so about right for each house.

 

[Flyn]

I ran the idea past Amy today about selling our house and buying a yacht to live on. She's not enthusiastic about it. I think it would be sort of cool to live in a marina and head out to the islands once in a while.

 

[frank]

My parents did that in the early 70’s lived on 50ft er’ main marina was in ft lauderdale. They would boat to Freeport in the Bahamas, the keys, etc… they did that for about two years. They said it was a good time to travel where ever but it did get old after a while.
