I recently bought a fixer upper here wholesale in South Florida where I live. It has been a good bit of work but I’m close to being done. I was originally considering moving in as I have a few young children now and we are in a 2 bedroom apartment and need more space, but my wife is not fond of the area and terrified of the pool (rightfully so). So now I am trying to to consider whether to hold it and rent it out, or sell it and try to do something else. It is a 3/2 pool house worth roughly 550K ARV that could probably net me in the low 2000s monthly after accounting for taxes, insurance and repairs. I could also sell it for likely a 20-50K profit, and use the cash to make another move, whether that be flipping something or buying something to rent out

I have been leaning slightly towards holding it and renting because rentals are doing really well right now and sale prices have not been amazing. The other factor is South Florida seems to be so saturated with little to no deals or steals of any kind. I could go out west and look for damaged properties and work on those to sell, or the other option I am considering is looking more north towards the panhandle or northern Florida and seeing about a quad plex or something similar to rent out. Only issue there is PM which would take a chunk and could make it a headache, especially considering turnover, low rents, and repairs for an older class building. I know the STR market is highly volatile and not as good as it probably used to be.

Just wanted to see what kind of ideas any vets would have or what would make sense to you in this situation!

Seriously fuck this company

The playbook is so simple: when customers need support use AI bullshit that doesn’t work or help until they get too tired to get their money back. After that if they try to connect to a real person just let it ring for 5 minutes and go to voicemail.

More money for us! Well done.

Looking back over some LeBron highlights someone posted made me realize how the pacers have always had some playoff teams, but it seems like they can never seem to take it all the way and win a ring.

Why is it that they can never seem to do it?

Do you think it’s that they’re always too focused on other teams and trying to take advantage of small moments rather than the big picture? Kind of like hitting the choke emotes against the Knicks even though in both of those years they couldn’t win a ring? Well actually, I think with the Reggie one they didn’t even beat them in the series. Or like for example, the malice at the palace when they just decided to act crazy and basically threw the whole season and possibly that whole team?

Or do you think it has something to do with a fault within their organization? Like Rick Carlisle always being too focused on trying to work the refs and drum up sympathy for them being a “small market team” rather than focusing on the bigger picture and trying to get his team in a winning mindset?

Or do you think it’s the fans? Maybe they, like the team, try to take too much joy in petty and trivial wins rather than actually buckling down and going for a chip?

It’s just so perplexing, it’s hard to tell exactly what’s wrong with the franchise. I know at this point a lot of people are hoping they can turn their history around and try to redeem what is widely regarded as a pathetic and miserable franchise.

I’m ngl I know it sounds soft but I cried after that game 4 comeback more than even after we won it in game 5. The tip in with OG I still get goosebumps thinking about for real, it was the craziest shit I ever saw and the way it happened at the garden it felt almost like a miracle which is a strong word but something was so crazy about that game.

I was checking the game thread here that night in the first half and the sadness here was so crazy because we all know as Knicks fans not to know what to expect. It was feeling like we were gonna have to go back to SA with them rolling and the series tied up and everyone was thinking this might have been too good to be true and we shouldn’t have got our hopes up. I remember after game 1 when we won it I was at the bar with some friends and it was like we could actually do this shit this is insane and then that feeling was crashing down in that first half.

I still just can’t believe how they did that and pulled it out so proud of those guys and how they made the whole fanbase and city proud

I remember being like 8 watching those 90s Knicks with starks/ewing/oakley/mason/etc at my friends house in Astoria and everyone my age loved that team so much.

But watching how tight this team is and how much character they have and how they genuinely seem to love each other and all the fun they’re having after winning, I can’t even imagine being a little kid and seeing it, it must be such a great feeling!

I keep thinking how much more awesome this is then when okc won last year, and no hate to them, but it was like just closing up shop. I’m so glad they did this for the city and for all the little kids that got see it happen, at least the older fans we can live vicariously through them! Those of you with kids old enough to appreciate what just happened are they super amped?

All the bullshit with the refs, with the flagrants put it behind us we can’t control it and now the league knows everyone sees it. With the fans and the jerseys yes it was fucked up but everyone already hated on us and couldn’t wait for a reason to be mad so fuck them too. At least now there’s no more fake fans floating around. The team this year is built solid and has a winning mentality so let’s get it. Now it’s time for us to lock in and get one more before heading back to SA. Play real knicks basketball which means next man up the team has to hustle get shots to go down, play defense, clean up the boards, stay out of foul trouble. Let’s bring positive energy in and around the garden, or whatever city you live in and come out strong. I believe in this team and the leadership and the mentality they have. LGK
