What all to check before buying a used portal?

Hi, I just contacted my local seller and they have a used portal for 40% off

The buyer allegedly bought one from the US thinking they’ll use it for cloud gaming but that isn’t available in my country and the og buyer didn’t have a ps5.

I’m really keen on this option but just wanted to know what all checks should I be performing. The middleman has a playstation so I’ll check if it’s connecting and look for anything noticeable with naked eye.

Other than that I would love if it’s possible to check through a gamepass tester thing but I couldn’t find a way to do that.

Is there anything I’m missing? Will the fact that it’s from a different country be an issue when I’m setting it up with my console ?

Thanks

I wanted to run by my plan of action I’ve been making with my father

Good morning,

My father has been in real estate for the past 25 years, we’ve earlier done some construction work where we just constructed standalone houses but we stopped that over a decade ago since he was working alone and liked the brokerage business better.

Our primary market is a tier 3 city our moat is how transparent and trusted we are. Our clients have been with us for decades and we have a strong referral clientele. I’d say about 90% of the clients we deal with are through referrals.

Ofcourse brokerage business is at the mercy of market cycles, we’ve recently expanded into a tier 2 city my father had his highest earnings year clocking in about 1 cr.

I’m joining the brokerage business obviously but that’s more of a “don’t let something so set up fall” thing.

The NW is around 10 cr

We have enough rental to not care about living expenses

I want to enter the construction business but I am not keen on big projects.

My father and I have asked people around who are in similar business and the cagr seems to be around 15-17% post tax (the margin is largely because of understanding the market really well)

The plan of action is to develop independent houses that can be sold for 1.5-1.8 cr there is enough demand but not enough options.

Start off with 1 project and the roll the profits into others. As soon as I’m familiar I plan to deploy two projects At a time and then expand via reinvesting the gains.

For the construction business

We understand demand extremely well

The legal and regulatory work won’t be an issue we have strong relationships with the people involved.

Our main issue would be finding a trustworthy person to handle the day to day so it becomes more of a hands off thing where we are involved in every step but during the actual construction phase we just drop by twice a week to check the progress.

I’m 21M started a job hated it and came back to the business 3 weeks ago.

So far I’ve been loving it. We are just waiting for me to learn more and get a better grasp of the economy since the prices of a lot of inputs have gone up.

In terms of supply absorption we aren’t really worried since we’ll be making a handful of properties for a decade before we have enough scale to expand. Even then considering how the prices are rising I’ll have to redo the math. Assuming stagnant prices we only go past 10 post year 12 (which obviously won’t happen because of inflation)

Need recommendations for RPGs on ps5

Hi,

I don’t get a lot of time to play so if I’d like some recommendations for RPGs that are fun.

The type of games I liked

Cyberpunk 2077 and Kcd2 were my most recent rpgs and I absolutely loved those.

In terms of stuff I didn’t like

Elden ring - tried it, cleared 3 areas but the grind just isn’t for me anymore I loved Sekiro but I don’t prefer a dark gloomy atmosphere and the losing a lot of progress if I die without finding a checkpoint

Persona 5 royale - not a huge fan of turn based combat

Returnal/hades- returnal was once again to dark and gloomy for me hades was very fun but I don’t like the gameplay loop of starting all over again after I die so rogue like isn’t for me

I like games which have more of an upbeat settings and not too dark (if it makes sense)

I like the normie progression route where story and graphics are nice but I can explore and have fun as well

So my main points would be

Good story + good graphics + the setting should be one where I have npcs roaming around

I also do like linear games like god of war mouse pi for hire but I strongly prefer rpgs
