@Tanya F. It didn’t occur to me anyone would think of solar panels as an eyesore! They are all over my neighborhood. On a dark roof they kind of blend in anyway. Clotheslines don’t bug me either, and majority I would guess have these in the backyard. I mean there are lots of negatives to CA, but all the sunshine might as well be used for something.

@Lucas Carl ack! Don’t say that! I’m working with your lovely wife to find a cabin to STR. I thought it was easy to manage. Now I’m worried!

@Paul Choi seeing the same in Palo Alto. Things priced right sell fine, but the ones hoping to align their prices with the frenzied pricing of last year are sitting. This is the first time in several years when I’ve scrolled through listings in my area code and seen a slew of “Price Reduced” flags. That is new here.

@Timothy Howdeshell I think the best place to research this is Poets & Quants. Since you’re after a salary boost, that’s what you want to see numbers for. My sense is Stanford and HBS lead that pack. Though I know there are lots of good MBA programs, for the tuition to make sense, the out of the gate salary increases really need to spike IMO. I know it seems ludicrous that Cornell might not be “worth it” but just like with REI, this is a numbers game.

@Drew Y. This is awesome. And for some reason something that hadn’t really occurred to me I guess. How did you get into flipping, is this in CA? Thanks for the post, sounds like you are really thriving!

@Steven Wilson someone on here advised to me, “put your aces in their places.” I think you’ve answered your own question. This is not your forte and likely it is actually losing you money. While it’s being fixed up slowly it’s not being rented. While it’s being fixed up you are exhausted and discouraged. I’m guessing it’s impacting your state of mind, your sleep, maybe your health. And by the sounds of it it’s not doing your wallet any favors. I think you know what to do.
@Larry Hawkins love the remodel! Looks beautiful! Congrats.
