BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:you're not "fixing" them you're replacing them entirely. it only makes sense when you're about to sell the house since you'll probably get more back than you put into it. otherwise it's an expensive indulgence, agreed Sorry but pumping money into a house just for sale doesn't actually make sense.

OxMan posted:Yeah i dont know who was buying a house in 2009 off 7.25 an hr or whatever the gently caress poverty rear end deathbelt wages they were getting. Nor 11.25 in CA. When was the fortunate timing for that wage, 1962? plenty of people got in on the mythical "$500 house" in 2009 but I was too busy partying when I should have been studying the hammer

OxMan posted:Non coastal states are wild. I dont think I've ever seen a house that didnt cost more than 300k (and I'm talking a normal rear end house not some trashed shack you have to demolish and rebuild over) , even as a kid in the late 90s i remember when my moms friends (all electricians, which i used to think of as soooo rich) were buying houses that was the going price. That there were states out there with houses actually buyable by people working regular rear end jobs in a post 9/11 world blows my mind. These things are like $20-40K now

i say swears online posted:i'm not saying every high earner is elon musk wealthy, i'm saying it's easy to avoid lifestyle creep and not doordash every meal. wsj regularly publishes "i make 500k and i barely get by" budget breakdown articles and they're essentially just trolling for engagement it depends on if you have kids wether 150K feels like infinite money cheat or barely above minimum wage

TheSlutPit posted:There’s nothing wrong with making $150k, but for many ppl it’s roughly the income level where you start being able to convert surplus cash into passive income. I actually have less of a problem with the $150k guy who’s goin nuts and spending all their money and having fun vs the guy trying to leverage it into landlording or real estate speculation.

[quote="Deadly Ham Sandwich" post=""52347"] Complaints that it doesn't go far really remind me more of rich people talking about spending huge amounts of money and complaining about barely having anything left over to feed their family. [/quote] you just described being a parent

mastershakeman posted:we have a tiny kitchen without an island that seemed big coming from a poverty apartment but sucks horribly (and you have to go between the fridge and stove to get to the back door, basement door, and half bath); every other house has huge renovations to their kitchens. i guess when they were all built in the 40s/50s the assumption was the wife would stay at home cooking all day and no one would get in her way, but when two adults are both trying to use things to cook after work its just terrible. Just take turns cooking. Sharing a kitchen is just asking for divorce.

Just remembered my goonish friend who inherited the house when his mother died but instead of moving out of the basement he just rents out the first floor.

Finally got official proof from the Water and Sewerage Department that the waterline to my $4,000 house, that was listed as having the waterline cut on the city auction website and has been vacant since 2005, has actually been cut. So now the city will move forward on the permit to replace the waterline that was initially filed on November 15th. Love that just the deposit for this cost more than the house. Also love that the city says they will replace all the lead lines on this block for free within 2-5 years.

Asheville rocked bc some parts were so hilly they couldn't fit a house only trailers or tiny houses so you end up with elderly hippies and literal hillbillies living halfway off the grid in the middle of 4 million dollar mansions

Eh it's only worth it if you get the house for practically free. When I was house hunting in the open market the full rehabs were like $70-95K. I havent spent that much yet on my $4K house and I'm getting 100% all new poo poo.
