Thoughts

1.  We hammer HOA’s when there is overreach.  But we should also celebrate the things that HOA’s have to deal with from time to time.

2.  How much is it going to cost to remove the whale?

3.  If the animal welfare group was so concerned about it getting moved, why did they let it sit to rot for two weeks.

3.  Complain against the restaurant and you get banned from the pool and fined $5,000 dollars!

Saw the headline with “waste mountain” and Landlord and knew I had to take a look

Thoughts

1.  We often think of investments in rentals as a sure fire moneymaker….but then you see stories like this?

2.  Was this preventable?  After she moved in, should you have required entry into the home every month or so to make sure this house wasn’t a disgusting mess, or were you glad as a landlord that the tenant wasn’t calling you with repairs all the time?

This article in business insider says that 33% of sellers spy on buyers and their agents during showings.  Are you surprised.

Thoughts

1.  I always tell my buyers when we first meet that I will usually be super quiet during showings because you never know who is listening.  So, for example, even if you love the house…you should NEVER discuss offer price inside the home

2.

Every once in a while you see an article that, if nothing else makes you think.  I happened to find this one on Vox, and I wanted to go over it because I think it is useful.

Thoughts

1.  Is homeownership bad and why? would be the better title of the article.  As it reads, we are somehow supposed to be upset that we will change with homeownership, but that’s part of growing up in my opinion.
