You are looking it wrong. Many sale is not always 100% voluntary. Our SDG sold out because the choice was either sell/be nice for 2 yrs or have it taken away. The other end of the spectrum is someone selling completely voluntarily. Many other sales are somewhere in between when you see the...

You can call it greed, I call it good business sense. The writing was and is on the wall. There are some SDGs that will do well and continue to exist. But you are playing russian roulette every year the SDG is in existence. Unless you own something, you are still are employed by someone...

I remember being at the vet and overhead a conversation across the room. Vet told dog owner, "we need to keep him overnight, and if something happens do you consent CPR". Owner said OK. I just could not believe what I was hearing. Sorry, I have a dog, but if they need anything invasive, let...

Termination without cause could mean anything. I was prn at one of my old jobs, they hired a bunch of fresh meat, and ended my contract. I didn't think anything about it and never brought it up. If it pops up, I would just say they didn't need coverage anymore and move on. Seems simple.

I agree I agree but I never thought I would see the day that it would be hard to find nurses to work for 200/hr. I wonder why there would not be CRNA schools popping up everywhere with such a shortage.

There is a reason why healthcare is so expensive. Now nurses won't work for 200/hr.

I tip for everything. The only time I don't tip is when I go for a self service check out or if there is not a screen for tipping. I have been blessed with making many times over what I have ever imagined. Spending an extra 2-3k/yr on tipping means little to my bottom line but makes someone's...

Life is not fair. I accept the bad breaks and move on. I take the good breaks and maximize it. My 3 kids are in private school and never sniffed public for the past 12 yrs. I paid well over 100K/yr in property tax on my properties with most going to educating other people's kids. That is a...

% saved doesn't tell me as much as amount saved a year. Someone making 300K spending 25% is not doing as well as someone making 600K spending 50%.

I don't know of a set number but I think once you get over 5, it starts to be come a business. I have managers for my STR/LTR. I manage the MTRs. I think the more important point for the IRS is my income across all rentals last year was about 400K and if I take 50K deductions for...

I just got it a year ago so prob 450K. There are more benefits than just appreciation relative to the market. Say I have 100K to invest. 1. Put in S&P for a 8% return. After year 1 its worth 108K, 2nd year 116K, 3rd yr 126K, 4th 136K. You sell and assume 20% cap gains you end up with 128K...

Not giving any advice or opinion but this is likely the only option

Home prices do not appreciate as fast but its the tax benefits and leverage that are the biggest benefit. Plus, if you paid off the home, you would have essentially a 8-10% dividend investment that appreciates with tax deductions. I bought a 400K duplex, paid all cash (I always leverage but...

I had a 2021 MY and replaced with a 2023 MY. Its the best commuter car. 2023 much better than 2021. I hear the new model which may be this year or next will be even better. Better across the board. Better rid, quietness, range, battery management. I average about 125miles/day. Currently...

Nope. My non working spouse volunteers and spends. Its all good. The benefits we get from her being at home is way more than her 6 figure career she quit.
