What would you think of offering a 5th and throwing in a half dozen posters from here, as decided by a poll? Or….would that move it up to a second? 🤷‍♂️

Saving Private Ryan?

BUT….is he old enough to buy beer? 🍺 It sounds like his playing speed is more impressive than his timed speed. The strengths and weaknesses do not seem perfectly aligned. I prefer football players over track stars.

The fact that we are here probably indicates we are not all that picky. 😋 .

I’m looking at condos in downtown Sarasota. Watch out for the fees! They have monthly HOA fees around $1,200 and quarterly Association fees of about $3,500. These are 1,300 SF units with 2 BR. That’s before taxes or your personal insurance. In a place like Hilton Head you may be in a “plantation” or gated community. That adds a Master Association fee on top. I’d LOVE a place in downtown Sarasota, but that is just insane. At least there is no state income tax. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, it’s twoo! It’s twoo! It’s twoo!

The Hunt For Red October.

You’re no YOLO, but I guess you’ll have to do. 😋

I make fun of action movies when they try to sell me on cars flying thru the air…..but there it was. EDIT: To hear there were only minor injuries is an absolute miracle. .

I’d LOVE to see Stephen A doing the local nightly weather. You could get 5 minutes of that that would crush SNL!!!

I like the mute button on the TV, but I really need one for when my wife thinks I’m snoring.

You’re on thin ice there, buddy! I may look into having my central vac system blow directly into your house. You will think you live in a snow globe!

Covid is the reason we didn’t get a dome. The world knows that. Just sayin’! 😋 It’s funny, but when we all hunkered down it was about being entertained at home (lots of streaming)…and puppies. People figured I’m going to be home, now is the time to get a dog and train it. We were already on the list for a pup and our breeder said if he had 100 puppies he could have sold them in a weekend. I don’t want anyone to lose their livelihood, but I try to avoid Booger just as much as Stephen A. I never liked him, but he strongly agreed with the Cody Ford crack back block penalty in the playoffs. The call the league later apologized for. Since then I’ve been waiting for him to say something intelligent. Still waiting.

One call, that’s all! 😋 Yeah, he’s not your guy either.

Yes. Some real estate attorneys also try to create a niche with 1031 Exchange practices. It’s not super common, but it’s not obscure either. You’ll probably want a closing attorney who has done it before.

The remote control in my hand says I don’t have to watch that movie.

OK, if that makes you happy. I’ve learned to completely ignore him. I’m not a fan of people screaming at me in general, so I avoid ESPN as much as possible. He’s the worst of the bunch, IMO.

Do your homework on a 1031 Exchange (mentioned above, I believe). You get to avoid taxes on the gain from the sale of the old property if you flip it into a new investment property. I won’t go too deep, because I know just enough to get you into trouble, but it can help you avoid tax implications if you do it within the time limit. It would be worth knowing this before you do anything, just in case. .

It just goes into the estate. You can’t discriminate based upon age. That credit life insurance is just for shorter term consumer loans. I did a car loan for a little old lady one time. A week later her car is shown in the local newspaper half inside a retail shop. She got in the car and put it in drive instead of reverse, then hit the gas. I only want to get so old.

You can tell the rental company what days/weeks you want to block out. You get first dibs, unless you buy a place subject to leases already in place. Then? You just get to keep the rental income. That’s okay too! (Deposits can be negotiated.)

Not really sure what you mean by the question, but every situation is different. How far in advance? How long can you stay? TOO long is never an issue if you can get a rental permit in the first place. Certain developments have restrictions, and rental companies (on-site or external) have their own expectations. People going to Hilton Head book their summer trips early in the year. Some have repeat customers every year.

We used to live in Hilton Head and go back probably 2 out of 3 years. We usually stay around Harbour Town in Sea Pines. It makes me look on the Sea Pines Real Estate website at the calendars for rentals. This time of year they are already booked well into the fall. Like, it’s hard to find anything in most areas and especially the area we want. The way they rent always amazes me, and we’ve been tempted at times. EDIT: Meant to start with GOOD TENANTS ARE GOLDEN! .

Technically, that might include you as I see it! We are as good as in-house as you get! It’s not like Beane to go into a draft NEEDING something. This feels odd, because I don’t know who on the roster can fill that position. I don’t know what to expect.

Sure, it sounds like a bad idea, but they make up for it with volume. I remember a guy years ago asking “you know, I’m 85 years old, and you just gave me a 30 year mortgage. Does that seem like a good idea to you?” 😂
