nomadawhat Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Originally posted by Vanity@Aug 17 2005, 07:55 PM good thing you're getting your own house: http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/20050817/...aluedin53cities Quoted post you can find articles and studies like this from 5+ years ago... and since then those overvalued houses have raised in value (a lot). in my opinion, there may be a "bubble" but in most places it won't burst but rather level off (and if so, for a short period). Prices are definitley not going down some 30%, and interest rates are only going up. So why would it be bad to get into a place now? Beats throwing away money on rent. these studies give you a little insight but they are just predictions and based on "historical" data.. its the present, times change. and !@#$, !@#%!!!!, $600..wow. sounds like a sound investment.. oh.. and tenants aren't a walk in the park either... they pull plenty of shit as well...

RumPuncher Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 my buddy had the worst landlord ever. I show up to help my friend move into his new place, and it turns out the current tennant (who is also the landlord) hasn't moved out yet. He's moving to another appt in the same building, and makes my friend and I move his stuff before we can move my buddy's stuff off the lawn and into his new place. Plus the guy was late for his visit to the methadone clinic, so he really wasn't pleasant. PLUS he had like 4 radios all playing the same classic rock station so there wasn't anywhere to escape the tunes. I dont mind the classic rock, but it felt like someone was following me with an Eagles CD and trying to make me go crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 hahahaaaa.. yeah, TENANTS! i won't be tired of living in a building with a bunch of strangers either. 'guess what bitch? this is not the fucking fields of nigeria! you have to LOCK the front door after your boyfriend leaves so JUNKIES won't SHOOT UP in our hallway' ..... my dad told me about the time he lived in SF, when he was about 21. his landlord was this old chinese guy. my dad saw him on the day he was moving out and told him he'd be down to his house in a bit to get the security deposit. when my dad went down, no one would answer the door. as my dad walked away, he turned back and saw a pair of eyes peering thorugh the blinds, which quickly shut my dad was pretty mad, and he tore the apartment apart. there was an old can of bucket paint in there, it went all over he ripped the toilet and the sink out of the bathroom and kicked holes in the walls. dad, you are awesome.

RumPuncher Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 ^ for some reason, I'm not suprised you have a cool pops. I wonder if my landlord will be pissed that I put a Mac sticker on my toilet? Not if he's a PC user!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodice_ripper Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 just so you have an idea 775,000.00 EUR = 941,277.58 USD its not in a nice area, its fucking connected to the house next door, its only three bedroom. I am NOT buying a house here, I don't like paying rent, but at least I am not almost a million in debt. What the fuck are people thinking?

saraday Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 i have so many landlord horror stories. my last landlord, Kankles (because of her ginormus ankles) used to stay up all night and wait till 6 in the morning and go outside yelling for her cat: "HUUUUUUUUUUGOOOOOOOOOOO" "HUUUUUUUGOOOOOO".. then.. she'd ask me to buy her bread and milk and cigarettes all the time and give her rides places. ugh.

Tyler Durden Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Former landlord: Mafioso. For sure. Told my girl when we were moving out, "You know... i consider you like a daughter... you ever need ANYTHING or if ANYONE fucks with you... come see me, I'll have it taken care of." I walked in his office one day and he was talking to an "old friend" about "rackateering charges". Nice guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
