Karen F. Class C landlords - better build up some cash reserves
26 March 2020 | 49 replies
Gen Z also, by being so young, has an attitude we all had when we were young.... invincible, even to a new Virus.Last week, we saw the closure of Florida beaches to stop the mostly Gen Z from partying.HOWEVER, after thinking about it more, if those that were partying for Spring Break passed the virus around and then you stopped their partying and told them to go home all across the US...........I think you get the point.... this only increased the spread of the Virus and probably exponentially.This might not sit well with Medical professionals, but if they would have just allowed the partying to go on for the next two weeks and kept everyone there, treating any who had gotten sick, they could have allowed the Virus to peeter out via the concept of Herd Immunity.Combined this with the fact that we lacked any kind of testing, both for a proper diagnosis AND to see if anyone had recovered developed immunity, as well as lack of protective equipment (N95 masks, gloves, gowns, etc.)... there was no way to prevent transmission and it made our Healthcare professional who are on the front line extremely vulnerable and demoralized.Unless I'm missing something, sending the kids home to every single State in all the corners of America right after they started partying and passing the virus around is one of the most illogical reaction that could have possibly has been done.To me.... it's already too late that a full lockdown is just going to make it far worse as more people will lose their jobs, over months and years, even when the Virus has finally be reduced to a normal flu like situation, the ones who could not recover economically will wind up either homeless or sick due to the stress they have encounter not only from the Virus but on the brink of financial disaster.We already know that reports show that the average American has only $400 left from their monthly pay check to survive on after their expenses.

18 April 2020 | 0 replies
I've looked into ways of soundproofing, or significantly mitigating noise transmission from my condo, and from what I've heard, even the most dense, best impact absorbing underlayment for laminate flooring won't do much in a poorly built building.

Stella Xu Migration patterns for high income earners from urban cities
5 September 2020 | 48 replies
@Stella Xu that’s insightful and I think you are correct it’s just a matter to what degree.A lot of folks already commute from suburbs so they’ll just stay put another factor driving this will be a desire to be in less dense areas (reduce the odds of virus transmission)I think you answered your own question you’re j going to see continue migration south towards Florida Texas maybe South CarolinaI’m still concerned about long-term employment impacts to the real estate market... once the Federal Reserve stops printing money abd forbearance periods end

Makes a better entry.Those electro magnetic fields will be off of transmission lines regardless of them being produced by hydroelectric or atomic plants, if it's a rental you may not see any difference in rents, homes close are usually harder to sell and there is some degree of external obsolesence attached for valuations,IMO.

This better allows for the unexpected "What Ifs" - what if the transmission goes out, what if the child needs braces, what if the spouse becomes unemployed, what if there is a medical emergency, what if the cousin who lives across the country is getting married, etc.Most people never plan for the what ifs.
