    Agreed. They did this because they desperately want GS to get to the finals because the Warriors are easy to like and a have national appeal right now. Also for the insane viewership the Bay area alone brings to the table. I hope my boys put them in the 2 game hole tonight because I think...

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    OK, I just looked at the P&L statements for the 2 rentals that my wife and I have owned the longest. I will break them down below. The first house we thought we were going to pay off ASAP before we purchased another one which is why we put in a larger down payment. That has skewed our ROI on...

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    A good property management company not only reduces the tenant variance, but they can use their economies of scale to lower maintenance costs on top of it. I know it seems logical but it took us a while to pull the trigger on using a prop management company and now we wouldn't go back to...

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    We don't have enough liquid cash to jump right into storefronts; especially ground up new builds. There was someone in another thread that owned a warehouse and made great money off of it but I wouldn't even know how to evaluate warehouse property to see if I was in a desirable location.

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    We have rented to every race, gender, and education level with no discernible pattern of behavior. Our two best rental families were both black, one was military (top notch) the other had two parents with jobs. My worst rentals were both single white guys who would get drunk/high and break...

    Sorry, I was preparing for a VP meeting when I was doing the math. $1000 per month x 12 months is $12,000 gross. If you net 15% after all expenses then you would make $1800 per year per house. That is where I got 56 houses to make $100,000/year net. I messed up ROI but you're looking at...

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    Every residential rental owner I know says that you should target 1% of purchase price as your monthly rent. Assuming a $100k house is 25k initial investment (25% down) you'd want to rent it for at least $1000 per month. If you make 15% annually that is $1800. Your ROR on initial investment is...

    Khane, do you have experience with commercial investment properties? What type are you suggesting in place of residential? Warehouse? Strip Mall? Something other than that?

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    Bros, can we move this to a new thread? I have 3 residential rental properties and have thought about moving into commercial; I can give some insights into the P&L on those properties but let's not shit up the O&G thread.

    Dark Souls 3

    Yep, which is why it pisses me off when asshats run all the way down the stairs to summon us lowbies in a fight we cannot possibly help with. The first time she destroyed me I started thinking that if she was the next boss that I was going to need to do some serious farming.

    Yep. I separated the first time. Watched them die all the others. Horrible waste of time yet oddly gratifying for the soul.

    Dark Souls 3

    I use the dog boss bonfire as an easy way to reignite after death. Combine that with the guaranteed ember and it is an easy place to jump instead of wasting am ember. That being said. Fuck every single person that grabs three low level summons and the points to the Dancer as the reason for...

    Cell Key is down the two ladders from the crazy snake guy and into the building past the Lothric Knight. The main floor has three deprived and a dog. Watch he kindled deprived with the glaive; he walks down a staircase. At the bottom of the staircase is another dog and the key.

    I am one of those nerds. I don't ever buy games until they are $20 or less so I played every FROM game more than a year after it was released and haven't PvP'd or co-oped much as a result. Wife got me this for my birthday (today!) and now I get to be part of the thread from the beginning!

    I think someone else said this above, but you have a chance to get a refill from any enemy with the glowing ember inside them. When they die they will give you souls and sometimes an single estus refill.

    This is astounding to me. I don't care if he was 16 or 60. He. KILLED. Four. People. He should have been in juvenile detention until 18 and then real prison for 6 more years (at least). 2 years per life taken and that is the absolute minimum. Even now, after breaking probation and FLEEING THE...

    In ATM news, Sumlin choose Trevor Knight as their starting QB. You might remember him as the incumbent QB for OU that Baker Mayfield beat out for the starting job last spring. He came in for the second half of the TCU game after Mayfield got concussed and proceeded to fuck up enough to almost...

    I just finished Bazaar of Bad Dreams and enjoyed it immensely. I still think that SK excels at short stories because he ends most of them far better than his novels. He is also more willing to take risks on crazy ideas if they since they are so short. The only story that I had read somewhere...

    Wait, I saw the utter embarrassment that was my team get trucked by Nova and assumed that I lost the group as well as all pride in OU basketball. What do I get for winning? Do you all owe me $100 each? Should I set up a Patreon? Do I need to ask Amod to change my description to 2016 NCAA...

    Is it a crime here to admit that I want to keep Russell Westbrook on the Thunder more than I want to keep Durant? Obviously, I want them both to stay; however, if I was forced to choose one it would definitely be Westbrook.
