Best option for first time homebuyer?

What’s up!

First post here. I’m going to be moving later this year for work and to move closer to family. I’m deciding to buy a home versus renting for a number of reasons.

Because I’m not super familiar with the area, what homebuilder or neighborhood in Evansville or surrounding area would you recommend?

Budget doesn’t matter right this second. I’m mostly just looking for a starting point.

Also, while I’m at it, best bar? Lmao.

Thanks!

New rules that change this community

Hey hey hey,

Quick update to let you know there has been a refresh and evolution to the community’s rules.

The last month has been tremendously busy and challenging for the mod team. The amount of permanent bans we had to give in June surpass any month previous with the leading reasons being tacky (and beyond obvious) marketing tactics attempting to sneakily grab new clients and piggybacking off of Reddit to appear higher in Google search.

These cavemen often do not respect bans either since our subreddit is so useful for so many medical adjacent marketing strategies. So putting an automatic stop to that really ruins the potential of huge planning. Which is selfishly hilarious.

A few huge changes you need to be aware of:

- We are now a 100% discussion based community. No links are allowed whatsoever. This decision was made purely off the giant amount of spam posts and marketing we have had to remove and deliver subreddit bans to. With a significant uptick in the last three months.

- No AMA’s allowed: A new “common” marketing tactic is disguising AMAs as a pure sales tactic OR for the sake of assisting in organic keywords that Google likes.

- No studies of any kind: We are no longer allowing any sort of study to be posted in our community. This community deeply cares about keeping a safe environment to discuss typically very private concerns. The idea of a company profiting from that in some way is not something we will support anymore. This is ONLY pertaining to companies or researchers attempting to recruit members. This is NOT regarding referencing medical studies in discussions.

Along with the above, there have been a some updates to all rules. So we suggest glancing at them to make sure you’re up to speed as a member in the community.

Any and all decisions we make has our community members as a whole in our absolute best interest. Please understand many thoughts, planning, and legitimate data understanding to make these changes with that main goal first and always.

There’s a massive amount of things not shown to our members that the mod team is dealing with day in and day out in the background with monitoring, reporting reviewing, and private message back and forth. So we can assure you every rule has a purpose.

Thank you for keeping this community welcoming, active, and positive.

Large Language Models, such as a ChatGPT, and modern day Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics for things such as Google AI overviews use Reddit as one of their main resources.

Because of this, subpar marketers are flooding the site with spam and what is known as “astroturfing” which drops their brand/company/product in a surface level organic way in order to reverse engineer appearing in these LLMs and AI overviews.

We wanted to make this post to directly announce that this will absolutely in NO way happen in this subreddit, regardless of how slick you think you are in your strategy.

This subreddit is a serious place with serious discussions. Absolutely zero people care or want to see your lousy marketing attempts. There’s no place for it in any form or fashion.

So, as a result, 100% of these types of posts or comments will be removed and the accounts will be permanently banned on first offense. And yes, it IS that serious.

Because this subreddit’s topics interweave with one of the planet’s most profitable industries in history, there are unfortunately a massive amount of companies and individuals that want to attempt to take advantage of that and YOU. Which we find absolutely unacceptable.

Not only is this listed in the rules for this subreddit now, but this post will also be pinned to reference directly in these bans.

As a community member if you come across any one commenting or making posts with any sort of the above, then please report to the mod team. We check reports typically multiple times a day to make sure this subreddit remains a safe and helpful community for all. This trendy new way of organic marketing directly affects that number one goal.

Here are a few vague examples of things to look for that are sure ways to spot the above mentioned:

- “I’ve been looking for [whatever] and found a few that look really good like [INSERT COMPANY]”

- “Transparently I’m with [COMPANY], blah blah blah.”

- “Has anyone ever heard of [COMPANY]?”

- “I have a buddy who uses [PRODUCT] and he has been feeling a lot better.”

These are only a few extremely vague examples and absolutely not limited to in any way. But it’s a solid example of what to look for.

A side note: Often times, a way around being banned, these rookie marketers are reaching out directly in direct messages. Even if the mod team here has no “jurisdiction” for direct messages, Reddit admins DO. So always report spam when it happens and it’s best to simply not reply to people you do not know in the context of being sold to in any way.

As an additional side note: The mod team makes exactly ZERO dollars. We are here for YOU and purely YOU. So please know we are here for you with best intentions in mind with no extra or secret intentions/agendas.
