only if you don’t have kids or are paying for private school
Horribly rated schools around there

That's the understatement of the century lol. I couldn't hate a child enough to send them to the public schools there. Private school really isn't that bad. Only about $300 a month.

Bet the crime is bad too

The crime well... it is what it is. I'll just say this, I have a relative who had some property stolen out in the country and followed the thieves into town shooting at them with a semi auto rifle outside of his truck and the cops never even showed up. Libertarians would love it lol

But it's Montgomery

You know somethings up when Florida is chit-talking you.

Dude I was born in Montgomery and am not joking in the slightest when I say that Florida (at least northern and central I don't have much experience with south Florida) is a fukn paradise compared to Montgomery. There are some really nice areas where the wealthier people live but the ghetto is something else and its 80% of the city. Montgomery is as old south as it gets mixed with crime and poverty. Like a bigger wealthier version of Selma

The dirty south is something else man. Like a different world compared to the rest of the country.

Once its been ingrained into your system "normal" places seem strange. It's like Gone with the Wind in present day and while on mescaline. Here is a quick story:
My family owns a marina down on the river that they rent out. About 20 years ago, my cousin who is my age went to get gas and they wouldn't let him pump it on credit. His dad went up there to complain and was told to fuk off. He in turn called my dad and another of my uncles to straighten the situation out. My uncle went in first and one of the Marina guys friends, Mr. Greene, tried to stop him. My uncle threw Mr. Greene aside breaking his wrist and then Mr. Greene got back up and tried to stop dad which got him punched in the face and his nose broken. The Marina guy then pulls a pistol on my dad so my uncle runs out to the truck and pulls a .300 win mag out and tells the guy he's blow his fukn brains out and the dude pisses all over himself before the cops show up. All of this happened right in front of my 9 year old brother.

If you search my granddad or dad's name you get tons of hits from hunting forums where people tell the legends of what happens to poachers who fuk around on the wrong land and newspaper articles and court cases too. The scariest part is even after all that gangster chit they were doing they were all terrified of my grandmother. I still sometimes wake up in a cold sweat after having a dream about her. To this day I've never met a scarier woman in my life.

lmao...sweet home Alabama

The last wedding I went to ended up in a huge fist fight between two families. A dude popped off, he got knocked out, dude's son then knocked that guy out and away she went. The initial knock outs just layed on the ground out cold while the fight was raging, people stepping over them and chit. The women were screaming for them to stop. Wasn't my beef and I didn't know either of the crews so I stood off to the side with a beer laughing my ass off.

My aunt showed me a newspaper article about one of my family reunions that ended with a guy getting hit in the head by a board with a nail in the end of it. God bless the dirty south.

Wonder how West Virginia stacks up. My boss told me a story about how her dad and his friend were hunting in WV and accidentally ended up on private property. On the way back out they came to find 2 trees were cut and blocking their path. Apparently he had a chainsaw with him so they were able to GTFO but who knows what would've happened if they didn't.

If they were in WV...probably butt rape.

That strip of road from Maxwell AFB (which is nice as fuk inside the gates) to down town is just...decay is an understatement. A couple years ago I had to take a detour to get to the base and ended up in some sketch neighborhood then ended up getting stuck at a train crossing. I was getting some dirty looks and I swear I witnessed a drug deal go down.

Offer accepted on house. Different house and location than the first, but may be a better situation in the end.

Welp geezers, the rona has hit my plant with 1 confirmed positive. Employee in my swing shift. Sent the whole shift home for 2 weeks. That's about 1/2 my staff.

fuk jay, time to break out the hcq, pass it out like candy and get these guys back to work

Ive only been a few times, but something about the area calls to me.

There's a major global contractor with a district offices in North and South Carolina that has been chasing me for years. Its been on my mind for once the kids are out of school.

We're pretty slow right now and production is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule currently, so production wise, we should be fine. Plan on brining some back sooner than 2 weeks, but will only be those that worked far away from that employee and we'll be screening those people next week.
1st shift has already heard about it and are freaking out. Don't blame them. Having individual training/conversations today.

[twovalvekid]

Got my, what seems to be the norm now, "sorry we cant get your escrow account right" refund check yesterday. Pulled the envelope out of the mailbox and definitely didnt look like spam mail from them, looked closer and realized what it was. It's nice, but also annoying. $1900 the day i find out i need to fork out $400 to clean up trees from storms in the rental is nice.

you all sanitize the plant?

[litljay]

Twice daily on production lines and we moved 2 employees on each shift to just sanitize high touch areas (door knobs, cafeteria tables/chairs, etc.) 2 months ago. We're a food plant, so it's part of our normal operating procedure anyway. We've just stepped it up.

I never understood how they could get the escrow so wrong...

I just refinanced my place into a 15 year and after closing I received $1k back from the Title company and $2500 back from the old lender.

I even turned blue in the face 2.5 years ago trying to explain to them what happened with the taxes/school tax too. Basically the previous owners got a 50% redux in local and school tax because >65 and they never fixed it. City finally updated after a year, back charged for the year, and then sent a "new" bill with what the taxes actually are in a year. Pretty straight forward. But bank sees this as "oh your taxes are 6K a year" not...3500. So they over reacted to it. Literally got one of the bank's checks back from my City saying it was overpaid. Called them, asked what to do with it, and tried to get them to fix the escrow. Nope. Nothing.

Part of me is also curious how much i will walk away with from selling here soon for similar reasons as you mentioned.

On a side note, i was poking around at real estate back in VA. There is a recently redone townhouse for sale, and i could buy it outright after selling the house up here/getting the equity out.

Theres a large part of me that wants to do that for now until i get settled with someone.

how dare you not allow them not to float your money!

Jk, they’re gonna float it anyways

No chit. I saw it the other day and had an errand to run. Told myself "ill look at that after and it will be a pleasant surprise when i open it." Went to BOA and opened it and didnt realize it to be anywhere near that much.

I ninja edited up there on you too.

I might be just daydreaming about low property costs and walking around in a t-shirt in February.

The move here for people of certain age and investment position seems to be picking up a place in PHX or Corpus Christi, then cash your work air miles for winter travel and snowbird it a couple of months a year.

Closing costs are probably going to be the big question mark. The purchaser will likely try to negotiate you paying those costs for them.

Honestly, I have always wondered how in gods name you were all living in these mansions. It all makes sense now.

I looked it up and in my area the average asking price is $1,182,535 for a 1516 sq ft house. The average property size is 2-3 acres, some with waterfront. I’m not sure if it’s the same in the states, but the basement square footage is never included in that number. My house lists as 900sq ft with a fully finished basement, 3 acres. My neighbour just sold for $600k. NOTHING here is under $400K unless it’s a total **** hole. That’s Canadian though. So $200k amurican, lol. But when you guys show pictures of these mansions I’m like, HOW RICH ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?!

Eng, I don’t even live in the GTA. I’m 2 hours away from Toronto. Also... I also feel like I belong in the dirty south and it calls to me. BUT, I could never deal with the heat. I’m a durty north snow whore.

(Also the stories you guys tell are so far from the life here. Maybe that’s why we pay more?)

[Fawnl]

Also congrats TX abd stay safe Jay. Watch your toes!
