Looking to get solar panels. You guys have? I’m looking at Tesla solar 4.8.
Im in cali.

IMO we will not see a 25% dip like we have seen with crypto and stocks. People don’t need to purchase those things - people have to have somewhere to live and there is still a housing shortage in many markets. Whatever dip there may be will likely be offset by the increased interest rates. Hopefully rates go back down in a few years and these people can refi.

I agree with you here. There is not enough new construction in many markets

Yes, get da arm loan.

 

[sole searchin]

Don’t think I’d go for a 5 or 7 ARM.

Not a huge gambler I guess.

 

[Brownstone]

LOL, couldn't pay me to get an ARM rn. Rates will continue to go up. It will seem like mayhem but Obama/Trump kept rates way too low imo....it's overdue.

I got a quote from Tesla and they were trying to tell me I needa do like 20k in roofing repairs. I just bought the house and had 2 roofing contractors come before them to do repairs.. Ended up getting a few other Solar quotes and going with a local company. With the 30% federal tax credit, it's a good idea to buy out-right if you can.

 

[mplsdunk]

I was joking like the post above me.

I’m on 15 year fixed gonna have my crib paid off in a few years.

 

[Brownstone]

I only recommend ARMs for people that could afford to pay off their mortgage in cash if they needed to, AKA not me

 

[mplsdunk]

Yeah that makes sense then, worst case scenario you just pay it off and don’t get crushed with interest.

My rate is so low I’m just paying a little extra. No sense in parting with the cash.

Make sure you know your city / county / state laws. I was on the other end of this in a previous rental unit, where the landlord told me "all is good" during the walk through, and then never sent back my security deposit. I found via research that Colorado has a triple-damages law where if the landlord doesnt provide you with an itemized list, you can sue in small claims court for triple your security deposit.

So in my case I didn't even go after triple, though I should have. I just wanted my money back, which he reluctantly had to provide. Like 2 years later, he called and left a voicemail that said "you're a ******* *** hole." and hung up.

Been seeing a lot of cookie cutter new builds around me.. all white with black trim
They aren’t bad but they all look the same

 

[cels the younggod]

Wife and Bought a mother/daughter home last year. We listed the upstairs apartment online and and found a tenant. Used Rentspree to run a background check/ income verification.

Best bet to get a lease done is to hit up a lawyer or are there sites that you can pay to have one created?

Dave Chappelle cock blocking developers in his neighborhood

Dave Chappelle Buys Ohio Land from Developer After Town Hall Rant
https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/23/dave-chappelle-buy-acre-land-home-town-hall-rant/

 

[s0lefunk]

This is related to that "Chappelle is anti affordable housing" bs where the developer only designated like 3 out of 100+ lots as affordable housing.

Anyone here have a smart thermostat? Is the Nest or Ecobee one better??

 

[slaughterx]

I have had a Nest... sitting in the box for like a year and a half now. My recent $430 power bill suggests I really should hook it up soon... cool roof isnt saving my anything far as I can tell.
