Royale with Cheese

I drench ranch dressing on chicken wings. I also use ranch instead of sour cream on baked potatoes….because I rock.

You are more terrible than mayo with fries.

You aren't a failure if you win 2 Super Bowls. You want Sean Payton as HC who had Drew Brees for like 12-15 years and only won one Super Bowl. Several early playoff exits as well. What's the difference?

I would call the Vikings to see if they would be willing to trade Justin Jefferson for Gabe Davis straight up.

I'm not sure what you mean? I'm going to sell my condo first, get the cash and then look for a condo. I'm going to take my time until I find the right one so it could be 6 or maybe 12 months later.

Meanwhile Beane entering year 6 with the Bills....

Why does everyone assume it's 35 mph on my road? It's 45 mph. Without exaggeration, 50% of the people drive 35 mph through there. Some days I'm not patient with sitting behind someone doing 10 under the speed limit for the next 5-7 miles so I pass them. I get the finger and even honked at...am I the #######?

I was doing multiple things at once and can see why I you're confused! I'm currently profiting $263 a month on my current rental here in North Atlanta. I have a long term tenant there. I brought up the 12% down just because I'm still making a little bit of a profit on that after just one year. With about a 75% or more down payment on the beach rental, I should have the mortgage low enough even with a high HOA and management where I could profit much more than that from the beginning. I think this would only make sense for me if I could net about a $1,000 each month for the first few years and wait for rental inflation to rise. I emailed a real estate agent to put my on a email list with properties so I can get some early research done. She specializes in short term vacation rentals. One property I saw looks like one I would be targeted when I'm ready netted $28,000 last year. I would stay liquid for a good amount for the just in case situations. I'm hoping this could be a long term investment and start seeing some good rewards after about 5 years.

Every Super Bowl contending team are as good as their franchise QB. We expect a Super Bowl now and we are contenders.

When I said many, I didn't mean majority. When I mean not good, I don't mean non playoff. Not good as in not true contenders but we still are. When Von comes back, I expect our DL to be very good again. It's disappointing that we under perform when he's out but when he's in, he makes a significant difference. That changes everything, along with I don't expect 3/4 of our secondary out for more than 50% of the year. But yeah we need help at WR. I would like another RT but we'll see. We are still up there with the Bengals and Chiefs.

I don't think year 6 Josh is jaded like 39 year old Aaron Rodgers. We don't know the full story of Aaron Rodgers saga. He's one weird guy who is a regular season star and falters in the playoffs. Who knows what lead to what.

We disappointed last year and the end. Disappointing endings do not mean you're just not good and that's what many on here are jumping to.

That's not the point I'm making.

They also have us as 3rd in Super Bowl odds. They still think we are very good.

That's my biggest concern....is restrictions coming up where I couldn't rent it. It happened to someone I knew in Arizona. He was just going to keep leasing his house after he moved because it was during the housing crash in 2009. But after 6 months, new HOA Management would not allow renters. He lost so much money when he had to sell it. What's motivating me is getting a place where you don't have to worry about it being vacant for long periods of time. Florida gets I believe 40 million tourists a year and South Carolina gets about 30 million. I have a friend that owns a condo in Daytona for the last 20+ years and it has stayed rented. I have a great tenant now and its still stressing me out. I can't imagine how I would feel about a bad tenant. But I'm willing to deal with more stress if it's more lucrative and have a management company run everything to handle the stress. I might be wrong in thinking as well. Since I should be able to put a large down payment down, it seems I should make money quicker. I put a 12% down payment on my condo and I'm making $263 a month. If I pay cash for my beach condo, I would just have an HOA payment, taxes and the management fee. HOA are a lot by the beach and expect to pay about $800-$1,000 a month. With the rent I could bring in, it seems like it's pretty safe. But of course, I could be looking at this wrong.

Yes...like how far in advance. I just would like an opportunity to use my place in the peak season and don't want to have to book 3 months out. It might be better to go through a Short Term Rental Management company locally as opposed to an AirBNB?

Do you have certain parameters you can set for how long you can make a reservation?

I'm going to assume I will keep this condo for at least 2 more years. My tenants are both teachers and they're saving up to buy their own house. I'm charging them roughly $300 a month less than all the other condos in the area. He takes really good care of the place and has always paid on time. They want to live in Alpharetta and they'll probably need another year to save. I was looking in those areas as well and I do think I want a beach rental so I can use it as well. I work remotely so maybe I work a week in Florida when it's not busy season.

I always felt that it was better to try to calm down a player than having to fire up a player. Allen is just that guy that gives his everything in every play.

What does the Atlanta market look like for short term rentals? I'm just looking at the most popular vacation areas with the shortest offseason. Seems like the beaches in Florida only are down about 3 months out of the year and it gets nuts after that. I've looked at properties in North Georgia and I couldn't believe how expensive they were.

You're not going to. When a player plays with that much passion, you're not going to change him.

I appreciate the post. Since I would be 5-6 hours away, I would probably do the full gambit. My friend owns one in Daytona Beach and he gives the onsite property management 40% It's a lot but he says they take care of everything and keep the bookings filled. They take care of all the expenses and doesn't have to do anything. He didn't start making really good money until about year 5 I believe. This would be purely an investment that I could use every once in awhile for myself and family. I do want to spend a little more on a nicer place hoping to get better quality of people...but I think that's unpredictable. I'm doing some basic research now. When it gets closer to time, I'm going to contact a Short Term Rental Real Estate to get a breakdown of everything. I'm looking at this as my retirement lol. The southeastern beach region is what I'm looking at now because I'm familiar with it since I vacation there a lot. I don't know much about Montana but if investments look good, I'll look into it. I'm not tied to any specific market or type of rental. I know the cabins here in north GA are popular.

Reaching out to those who have invested in rental properties. I currently own a condo in the hottest market in Atlanta according to my real estate agent and what I'm seeing. There are still bidding wars and people are paying above listing....even with the interest rates as high as they are. They are building up the downtown area of my city and property value is increasing the surrounding areas. My place has increased by $40,000 since January. I'm 1 mile away from all the bars and hangout areas. It sounds like it's smart to stick with this place. However, I'm already not liking long term renting and considering the short term/AirBnB vacation homes. So I do have a wonderful tenant who pays on time and keeps it clean. The place is 40 years old and it already has had two issues so I'm net negative so far. I spent all weekend getting issues fixed...I don't have a management company. I expect more issues because of its age. Has anyone owned a vacation rental? I feel like they can be much more profitable but I don't know. I'm looking at condos on the beach in Florida and South Carolina. I'm thinking about selling my condo when my renter leaves. If I sold it now, I could probably make $175,000 on it. My tenant extended his lease for another 12 months so by this time next year, it should go up even more and of course the mortgage will be paid down more. If anyone has good knowledge of this, I would love to talk. I'm willing to put a major risk on this so it's a little scary. I want to be able to put down between 60%-100% down payment if I include the equity of my current house. I couldn't pay cash for a Florida beach house as they are $800,000+ but places like Myrtle Beach, SC I could pay cash for a $500,000 condo there. I'm seeing places on the beach at condos of that quality going for $175-$200 a night plus cleaning fees. I believe those onsite rental management companies charge 40%. 20% for those that aren't onsite. Am I right to assume that I would make a profit quicker with vacation rentals and the inflation would be higher each year? I currently make $263 profit on my current rental per month.

He views McDermott/Beane through scorned eyes. He jumped all over the thread when Draftkings had us at 10.5 wins because it's looked as a step back. But when they still have the Bills as #3 Super Bowl favorites, they aren't legit and Vegas just wants low hanging fruit. So Draftkings is legit and non-legit at the same time with the Bills.
