  1. On the finding a home side of things... On both homes, I used a Realtor to set up apts for a few weeks. In both cases, I was searching on-line on my own time every day, and I found each of the houses I ended up buying by myself. There are pros and cons to using your own Realtor (every Realtor will insist you have to use one), but if I ever do it again, I will find the home myself and if the seller is using a Realtor, work a deal where we drop the price x% lower to deduct what "my" Realtor commission would be. Neither Realtor makes a dime if the home doesn't sell, so I have found them all to be on the pushy side - "Soooo, ready to sign an offer today?" or "If you want this, we have to make an offer TONIGHT!" Bullshit. On the loan side of things... talk to SEVERAL places. Don't just take whatever the first lender has to say as gospel. And, just like in a car buyer-vs-car lot transaction, everything is negotiable. EDIT - oh yeah, and if needed, get a 2nd line of credit / mortgage / equity line to avoid PMI.

  3. I think everyone should own a GTO at least once.
  4. I have done it. I made a few bucks, but I won't do it again. It just takes so much time... remove parts, make ads, DEAL WITH IDIOTIC dead-beat buyers, meeting up with legit buyers... not enough time or patience now.
  5. So, is the old Equinox living in Cambridge now?
  6. Nope. The h isn't silent. PS. No, I will not spend my Monday night in a ( :lolguy:) English battle. PSS. Never asked... how's the pool table, man?

    Want to keep lease? Make lease payment.
  8. Does he respond to pictures that could tell him what has happened and remind him about the medicine/restrictions? Good luck, man. 8 weeks from now you won't believe how fast things went.
  9. I've had baseboard heaters in an apt, then all electric in 2 apts, then all electric in home #1, and now gas heat and tankless water heater. Hands down... for comfort, for $$, gas is the way to go between electric and gas. The tankless is awesome. Fills the large tub no issue. Wife loves looooonng showers, no worries of ever running out of hot water. Since I have the land to support it, I would have loved if my place was geo, but maybe that will be a future project, along with some panels.
  10. How could someone named A Dick not be friendly?
