Hello all,my iron is at .5ppm, I was quoted a $2500 system to combat this iron. It is a water softener/iron filtration system that uses salt. Does this seem like a reasonable amount to pay for such problems that I’m having?

Hey all, my wife and I make about $132,000 gross. After taxes we’re down to $110,000. For debt we have a $235 student loan and $600 car payment.

After closing we would have about $50k in savings.

I know our lender has already approved us and everything but I’m just a bit nervous of making the jump from our $1500 a month rent to $3100 seems like a big pill to swallow. We are also hesitant to pay off the debts since we will only have $50k left for furniture repairs and some renovations/upgrades.

Edits

$3100=PITI
No kids
Will get 1 dog if we buy
$132k was 2025 income, 2026 projected income is $150k gross
Student loan and car payment will be paid off in 4.5 years
Paying off debt would put us under 20 percent leading to PMI insurance

Hey all, i have had 3 dislocations, most recent one was last april 2025. I feel like my shoulder will flare up sometimes and feel swollen. During these flareups my forearm will feel tight and hand will feel swollen. Has anyone had similar symptoms and if so how did you address them?

Hey all, been looking at a house near i55 in the Chicago suburbs. 3 line highway in both direction cars usually fly 75-80 miles through there.

Would this be ok, there is a giant barrier blocking the neighborhood. I can definitely still hear the cars but I am wondering if the wall helps with air quality / pollution

Been house hunting for a while and one just came up in the private network that I actually really like, but the pricing has me second guessing myself… it seems like they are pricing high, hoping someone will bite…

They want $519k for a 1,440 sq ft house.
Fairly renovated but it has a 16 year old roof, and still has fuses for electrical
I think a fair offer is $460k

Neighbor’s house sold for $462k last July and was ~1,900 sq ft
Another nearby house sold in the $470k and was ~2,000 sq ft.. sold last October.

These are direct comparables in the same neighborhood.

Homes in my area are appreciating at 3-4 percent a year (Chicago suburbs)

Since it’s still in the private market / “coming soon” stage, would you:

Submit a low ball offer now before it officially hits the market?
Wait and see if it sits and gets price drops?

Curious what people here would do in this market

Hey all, it seems like the past few months every time I call I get these ai reps….it’s very frustrating they end up having to verify my account info over and over again. I asked to speak to a manager but I feel like it doesn’t register what I am saying half the time…
