Yep, Pacific Coast will need to leave the Pacific Time Zone if it wants to stay competitive.

I read somewhere, maybe it was the Ukraine MOD site, that Russia is firing an estimated 60k shells a day. I'm guessing when they say shells, they are talking artillery. I just still can't wrap my...

I have had many conversations with senior mgmt. at well known international companies, and they are all complaining that the employees with kids don't want to commute back to work. The number one...

2 kids. One is 5 and the other just turned 2.

Kids are expensive. Have someone at work now that says they pay $50/hr for day care. And just half a day at that. My niece in CT works for a day care in an upscale area. She makes $20/hour iirc....

I am familiar with that line of work. Not sure it's 97%. But I do know some folks on the ports that make 6 figure salaries, have an insanely good pension and healthcare benefits that in most cases...

Okay, gotcha. HOA is slow to the party. Amongst other things.

Here's the listing. My bad, house is bigger than I remembered. Probably could get about $2.6-$2.8 million for it pre mortgage rate...

It's not fractional ownership in an HOA, it's fractional ownership of a house that is in the HOA neighborhood. Last week a Redfin listing popped up in my inbox for a fractional ownership of 45 days....

See a lot of those in Central Oregon blasting lava rock. Then they grind it up and repurpose it for fill. They blew some lava rock last week and it shook the office building something fierce.

Well Bob, it's like this. It's a question of motivation.

Peace through strength. That's what Ukraine is working to achieve. More and more help from NATO and they should get there.

Got this in my email box this morning;

Well, London is going to have to take one for the team. Thanks Mates, you're the governuh!

Man, that's a lot of money sitting in the uber rich stock funds and bank accounts. Most of it never taxed.

It's a fine line between clueless and overly optimistic. Former co-worker has had 2 showings on his place. No offers. On the market going on 6 weeks, and he hasn't lowered the price yet. I guess the...

Made it to Boulder last weekend while visiting the father unit in CO. Pretty cool town. My brother says the people of Boulder are assholes. Probably because he went to CSU in Ft. Collins though.

Hmmm, too small to bail. Gov't really should help small business. Big business can take care of itself, And if not, it should be allowed to fail. But at the end of the day, let capitalism do its...

Capitalism is a bitch.

I don't think it's quite self corrected yet.

Seems like mortgage divisions at banks are shedding staff due to lack of demand. No surprise.

Provo, UT is on sale! Get in while it's not hot!

How many customers do they have wanting mortgages? They just might not have much business these days.

Ditto.

And for everyone cheering for the STR market to implode, that will need to involve lots of folks not taking vacations this winter and those STR's racking up lots of un-booked days. Not sure...

The pump to dump messaging seems to be broken.

Fricking Boomers. They partied like it was 1945, and the rest of us aren't going to get the same ROI!

My bad. Besides, I doubt Ukraine could build a nuclear weapons program without Putin catching wind of it.

One would think. But maybe everyone in the crypto world is saying stand fast while they all unload at once. Probably a few clueless diehards who think that crypto is still worth something.

Bond yield at 3.37% on the 10 year note. Fed eyeing a 75 basis points hike. Next cats and dogs will have to cohabitate because housing is so damn expensive. Mass hysteria!

BSROD - Brown Stained Ribbon of Death!

LMAO. Good one.

Corporate America milked the consumer dry. Consumer now living off of savings and racking up debt.

There's got to be Ukrainian nuclear scientists from the good old USSR days that know how to build a nuke. They just need to get their hands on some fissile material. Probably doable with some corrupt...

Well, WS has been bailed time and time again. They play by a different set of rules than Main Street. The Ivory Tower folks aren't dumb. They know exactly what they are doing. And normally when the...

Some nice looking houses.

Apparently there IS a lot of crying in RE.

Big Oil likes their profits. It's the last hurrah before the fossil fuel party ends. Don't ask me when the party ends, people keep predicting that the party is over, but it seems that oil execs are...

I thought TN was looking to ban homeless camping, making it illegal. So, now the homeless in TN can be housed in prisons on TN taxpayer dime. Win-win. I guess that's one way to solve the problem.

No courage by the politicians. They don't want to get the blame for rising utility/water fees. Then when the shit hits the fan, they blame everyone else.

Didn't know where to put this, so my apologies for the anti-stoke...but the ski season be pretty much over. for '21/'22

Most people looking for multi-million dollar homes, want a minimum of 3 car garage. At least around here in Bend. You have to have room for all the outdoor toys and/or exercise area. Toured a $2.5...

Just going to leave this epic kitty stoke right here.

WTF? Dude manages his business based on emotions. GTFO. The only reason that company is still afloat is that Musk did a good con job on the biz model. The execution sucked ballz so hard, it baffles...

Some life coach or whatnot on the radio once said there is no such thing as work/life balance, there is only life balance. Sounds all very zen to me. Or maybe it was Mr. Myagi who said it best...

My aunt, who has done very, very well with RE was the one that convinced me to be more diversified. Glad we did, and diversified and invested in some RE in a nice location.
