For me I went early on to the Merril Lynch slaughterhouse . My buddy's dad was the boss of our local branch, and he led me to my other big loser and lesson which was a spec house on a 20% slope rocky hillside I worked real hard on for a year , sold it and put 7 K into my old Sep ira, and the...

I learned the hard way early on with volatile stocks about just hoping to pay "only" capital gains. I bought a bunch of Global Crossing and Enron at around the same time period with proceeds from some extra commercial finish carpentry contracts we busted out after hours . The gains in both...

Word on the jobsites is that the going rate is about 8K USD per head they have to pay to get here with some type of coyote type assistance.....

Make sure to use butyl on top of the joists to protect them . https://www.decksdirect.com/trex-protect-non-skid-joist-butyl-tape.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN6wBhCcARIsAKZvD5jYS1ALnPRfRgW5DGGvK2MFOh7y-nMtcvIBbGEC

Same here as far as staying away from those 529's and just doing custodial accts. We did the same, always discussed finance and business terms with our kids, and had them putting their gift money away and tracking it to buy their first vehicles . My kids never got all sideways but at 18 they...

My doc is a good buddy and turned me onto the scan about 8 years ago. If you haven't had it, it may mean a lot more than these #'s. My Dad never had the scan, had his formerly high cholesterol super low for years, was in great shape, and could wear out the treadmill on those type of tests. He...

54 and I've had the scan twice, score of zero. "Bad" cholesterol same score as yours, $99 cash price also. Do a deep dive on statins and cholesterol . It appears that shockingly big pharma and big food duped us again , but everyone needs to figure it out for themselves. Cliff notes would be your...

Easter Rainbow

Is that by wildcat? Push the easy button and get the 250 or 300 ktm/husky/gasgas with auto clutch, suspension, and foam rear tube. I’m 6’0 and lowered mine 1” and did a kickstarter. Older guy heaven -the rekluse for me who doesn’t get to ride often and needs to work the next day makes the tough...

True story - a local small crew framing contractor's wife's Volvo wagon got hit just like this in front of his house by the exact same type of dui guy. He's a pretty gnarly dude, heard it and ran out and caught the guy. He told the guy he had to work it off . Dui guy actually showed up every...

The only reason I'm doing mine is to increase the property value because we plan to sell at retirement and I only want NNN commercial rentals at this point . Doing spec houses as part of what we do anyway, it makes sense as the new owner would probably build one if I didn't do it . The gain...

True - The cap rate is the same though . And since most that call me never did anything in their lives except hope to pop out a hot daughter(metaphoric) they could choose to pound sand until ca and other states allow the back yard to be sold off separately ...... golden goose isn't free .

Actually if the ADU is on an older home, the requirements for fire sprinklers and solar are waived ( at least in our County) so that helps a little . The math on them is easy to do as it's just the same as any other price per square foot on a new build assuming the lot is flat. I know this is...

26P 300r cruising 47-53 mph typically. On long runs really only get passed by twin toons or offshore on the lake style boats . Seems to me the average boat still cruises in the high 30’s / low 40’s

At what price is TSLA a buy ?
