    Not in Seattle, even in the Capital Hill area where CHOP was. In West Seattle where the main artery bridge is closed because it would break otherwise? Yeah, for sure.

    I can't find the article now, but Freakanomics did a sports series and covered this topic. Turns out crowd noise in NFL stadiums doesn't effect the players hardly at all. It does affect the refs and how they call the game though.

    You left out the payment amount. The assuming 1% property taxes the 30 year w/PMI payment is $2,931.37. The assuming 1% property taxes the 15 year w/PMI payment is $4,017.10. To most people that extra $1100 a month is not something they can do.

    Here's the value of that advisor. If the market tanked 30% again, what would you do? Would you panic sell and lock in the losses? The advisor can give a buffer in those instances and talk you off of a ledge. If you're instead the person that would add cash to see it as a buying opportunity...

    AP got more rushing yards, but wasn't nearly the receiver that McCafrey is. Look at a guy like Matt Forte that was considered to be one of the best receiving backs and was only getting half of the yards that McCafrey got last year.

    I can second them. I bought the ones that come in the flat pack that you assemble yourself. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably spend the money to have them come already assembled. It wasn't mentally hard, just time consuming and physically a pain the ass. I did them mostly myself...

    Plus people care about who services their loan if they ever have any kind of an issue. Whether it's financial difficulty or dealing with insurance claims, some servicers are way easier to deal with than others.

    What he probably meant to say is they didn't sell the servicing. Because that's all you interact with on your loan. Or it's a really large or unusual loan that somehow got portfolioed but that seems really odd for a credit union.
