| Norman_Smiley 04/27/23 11:14:14 AM #7 | 99% of stuff involving the ropes sucks. Throwing someone off the ropes should be rare. Brick Lesnar throwing Rey Mysterio against the ropes and he bounces off to a powerful clothesline? Ok, I get it. But Shawn Michaels throwing Undertaker off the ropes? No, it wouldnt happen. At best Taker would hold onto the ropes 9/10 times. And when he doesnt, it should be because Taker WANTS to bounce off and he is the one putting in the offense. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |

| Topic | Mortgages for homebuyers with good credit will cost more starting May 1st |
| Norman_Smiley 04/25/23 2:38:24 PM #39 | Questionmarktarius posted... So it's been meaningless feel-goodism this whole time, huh? That wasnt my take from it. FHA loans are generally meant for marginal first time owners. But you cant be over qualified for them. Some borrowers use them strategically for reasons that are legal but not really the intent of the loan. E.g. buying places 3.5% down, doing the minimum residency requirements, and then selling or renting out, only to do it again, rather than moving onto conventional loans like most 2nd time owners would. These borrowers also represent a unique risk profile the more typical borrower doesnt, mostly because they are viewing it as an investment rather than a long term home. This move will push more well qualified borrowers into conventional loans. The flippers / investors will continue to use these loans, and pay slightly more. And some high credit score low wealth borrowers will also pay more. But they will refinance into conventional 3-5 years into owning the place, so impact to them is still marginal, IMO. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |
| Topic | Mortgages for homebuyers with good credit will cost more starting May 1st |
| Norman_Smiley 04/25/23 2:01:39 PM #28 | I asked my realtor about this and he was saying its mostly belong out of proportion. His understanding is this knit applies to FHA loans. Those loans are as low as 3.5% down, require PMI for the life of the loan. Well qualified borrowers already go for conventional loans generally. Some high credit buyers do strategically use FHA loans because of the low down payment. This is really intended to just make the loan either less preferable to those already well qualified borrowers, or to get a bit more out of them. So if you are conventional or VA, ignore it. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |
| Topic | So is the war in Ukraine going to go on forever or what? |
| Norman_Smiley 04/25/23 1:50:28 PM #26 | For complete victory / defeat, one side needs to basically be out of equipment. Artillery guns and shells, anti-tank and anti-aircraft, tanks, planes, trucks and trains for logistics, rifles and ammo. If it gets to the point Russia has zero reserves and only resupply is newly produced equipment, they be fucked. If Ukraine is cut off or NATO slow down significantly, Ukraine be fucked. most likely something other than total victory / defeat will happen. Borders will be different from pre-2014 and from 2022. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |

| Norman_Smiley 04/24/23 4:44:44 PM #60 | DeepFriedSquid posted... You're killing it Its always been a saying but anymore it is especially true, all real estate markets are local. place i am buying was under $700k. It is actually a split level with full kitchens on both floors and then a living area above the garage. During my inspection, realtor and inspector were guessing first floor - $1600-1800 a month. 2nd floor - $2000-2200 a month. Ill live here. Above garage unit - has a half bath, so needs plumbing work for shower and a mini washer dryer, but then its $1200-1500 a month. all levels have water views. Bottom floor is only like a 100 degree view, 2nd floor is like 240 degree view, and the above garage has like 120 degree view of water from the living room and 140 degree view of the mountains from the bedroom. I ask put 50% down because I sold my previous house for a good return. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |

Im 40 now. 401k and Roth IRA over $600k combined emergency fund, other stocks, CDs over $200k House is basically triplex I close on in May. I should be able to rent the two lesser units for $2800-3000, my mortgage is $2550. I plan to pay it off in 10 years. I work the the government, if I make it to 50, pension will be like $3000 a month. If I make it to 60, 4500 a month.

| Topic | So what type of firearm should I buy? |
| Norman_Smiley 04/23/23 12:48:06 PM #11 | Hmm, in that case any plans to ever concealed carry (legally of course)? If not, go for a larger gun. A rock island armory 1911 can still be bought for under $500 (before taxes). A lot of it is aesthetic, honestly. What do you think looks cool? Avoid Hi-Point (imo, some will disagree). i think a few Glocks are available under $500. there are a few revolver options, but Id want at least $800 to be satisfied with a revolver now, I think. but figure out what you like the looks of and then go hold a bunch and see how they feel in your hand and then just know the brands to avoid. Like 95% of gun manufacturers are really good. A few make cheap shit, pretty much everything else is reliable if handled and maintained properly. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |
| Topic | So what type of firearm should I buy? |
| Norman_Smiley 04/23/23 12:07:48 PM #7 | Do you have anywhere nearby to go trap or skeet shooting? That is the most fun shooting IMO, but its not cheap ammo. Well, seems like no ammo is cheap anymore, but its around $.50 a shell and you do 50 targets in a round, normally a few rounds. And some places require you use break action so you sometimes need a rather specific shotgun. but its by far the best IMO. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. |
