KeepItReal

Seeking should be used with caution. The site's previous name made more sense: seeking arrangements. It is an arrangement, not a relationship. If you treat it like a relationship you will likely be disappointed.

Maybe. Name is familiar, but sadly I am a big slut and without visual aids I am not sure he is the person I am thinking of. The Sebastian I met in Houston was good fun.

Tipping is a reality in the industry. It doesn't bother me. Upselling does bother me - IMHO it is the bigger annoyance.

To keep 'em guessing I plan to make a different choice every time! 😆

Yes. His scruff validates my daddy issues. 😋

Are you surprised? His ad says specifically that he does not top. Why would you do that? You basically wasted his time by asking a question he already answered. If your local florist has a sign up that says they don't sell roses...would you go in and ask for roses anyway? 🤨

In the words of the Van Wilder generation: Don't be a fool, WRAP YOUR TOOL!

It is okay to be mystified. Give it time - you will figure it out.

Yes, I did. With purpose - didn't want to turn the thread into an economics lecture. I just checked my "special" number that I use for my hobby and there were 3 messages waiting for me. That is more than double the usual. Will keep track and see if more come in from companions as the stock market turmoil continues.

If you want to believe production causes inflation because it is domestic... Go for it. 🙈

I regularly clean my teeth (brush and floss). I go to the dentist twice a year for a deep clean. Perhaps think about what they are offering in that context. Unless you have 4 children, 2 dogs, a cat and a slob for a husband, you don't need a deep clean that often. They are probably just using the term to jack up the price. Ask them what they mean...only way to really know.

My dear friend...you need to take economics 101 again. (Or ask for a refund if your comments are based on recent learning). Increased production does not cause inflation...it is primarily caused by increased consumption. It is called Demand-Pull inflation. 🤓

Still hearing from my realtor friends in Florida that inventory keeps rising - there just aren't buyers lining up. Builders are now offering 0% down (where Lennar to name one, pays the 3% down-payment so you can qualify for the loan). To add to this, was helping a realtor buddy on the West coast with his taxes this weekend and he mentioned the same trend in Arizona and Las Vegas. Prices did not rise nearly as much as Florida did since Covid, but still, no buyers and inventory is rising steadily. LV inventory is up almost 60% when compared year over year even though average listing has dropped asking price twice and is down 10% from original asking. Particularly bad in southern (eg Henderson and Enterprise) neighborhoods. Flippers are again freaking out like they did in 2008.

It took him a couple of days to get back to me. He may be a part timer - only meeting when he isn't busy with a full time job. Very active on social media and I find him insanely hot, but between his schedule and my schedule it may be tough to meet. Will keep trying.

Most research indicates that hopping in and out of the market is a bad idea. If you are a novice, it may be a good idea to find someone more seasoned to help steady your hand.

I guess by most standards I would be considered well off, but I will probably need a rich husband before I can afford a full time houseboy! (Even if it does sound like fun.) Does look like a cutie, if he makes it over to NYC, I may "interview" him.

Well, that will make it fukin hard to reach the other levels... installing an elevator? Aren't you a fancy devil! 😋

I usually show up with my Peel P50. Always a conversation starter. 😬

Welcome! Is this you? https://rentmen.eu/CreamyHershey If so, please add your rentmen link to your profile so folks know how to reach you. 👍

Well..that is not 100% correct. The risk is low, but it isn't zero. Much lower than other penetration activities, but you have to be particularly careful when you have cuts or sores in the mouth - these can be present from vigorous brushing or flossing. 🤓

You don't watch the Marvel Universe movies for their cultural significance, ground breaking acting or creative storyline. You watch them when you need a fun break from the daily grind, want a fun, fast paced action movie with known stars, a predictable story line, witty banter and you don't mind CGI. It's like a big gulp. You won't find it at any upscale establishments, but if you need it, you know where to find it. 😉 Best way to enjoy them is in the order they were released.

BlewChew is very accessible and fairly cheap. Ro and Hims are also options, but more expensive. Be careful ordering online - quality can be a real issue. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-supply-chain-integrity/internet-pharmacy-warning-letters

So by the previous logic provided, I would say it different: the property is only worth 1.4mil today if you can get $14k rent a month, today. If you can only get $10k in rent, the cash generating ability indicates it is only worth 1mil and so the math indicates you would be better off by selling it if you can get 1.4 mil since it is overprices and invest the proceeds elsewhere. Of course there are other, non cash flow reasons why you may decide to keep the property (like sentimental value etc). But I am going by the cold, hard numbers. Does that make sense?

I don't agree with many of the scenarios - I think ChatGPT is making incorrect assumptions. Only two things you need to remember when buying property (according to my friend in NYC that made a fortune in real estate): 1. The money in real estate is made at the buy - you have to buy low or you will never see a good return. 2. Your initial rental income should be at least 1% of purchase price or you will not be able to beat the stock market. If you pay $1.4mil for a property your initial rental income should be at least $14,000 a month or you are not being compensated for the risks involved in renting out real estate. I know many will disagree with these two statements, but if you sit down with your CPA and talk real scenarios, you will be surprised by how accurate they are. I was.
