Ben K. Initial Offer vs Lowball
4 December 2025 | 21 replies
I just also don't want to be that guy a year after I buy it realizing that I'm  underwater and trying to unload a property to mimimize the loss.Here's an overly simplified example scenario I keep coming across with the properties I look at - using county property tax records too (years & prices are just random numbers for the purpose of the example):2020 - county valued property at $700,000; sold for $750,0002021 - county valued property at $750,000; sold for $800,0002023 - county valued property at $800,000; sold for $1,000,0002024 - county valued property at $850,000; sold for $1,250,0002025 - county values property at $900,000; on the market asking $1,500,000The spreadsheet I made up when I put in income, expenses, etc with a feedback loop on est value gives me a dollar amount close to that property tax value.

Bob Solak 3-gallon Traditional Water Heater vs. Electric Tankless?
20 November 2025 | 3 replies
Tankless units hate inconsistent, on/off demandYour exact use-case, slop sink, occasional washups, random tenant usage, is where electric tankless performs the worst:Rapid cycling burns out the heating elementsSlop sinks often have low flow, and tankless units won’t even turn on under ~0.5–0.7 GPMFlow rate varies a lot with industrial faucets, and tenants twist knobs fastYou end up with “lukewarm water” complaints or units that won’t fire consistently.3.
