That was me, and I stand by it. Trump is insulting them here if you can't tell from his prose, his style of insulting is a dead giveaway here. 😂
Sure, you totally understand his every nuance. At least to suit your needs.

It didn't stop on any other issue, even if it was just a feud with LeBron or Rosie.

Voicing his opinion has never been lacking.

So now we're no longer blaming him for "not stopping it" but switching over to blaming him for not tweeting about it... OK. Goal posts moved. Got it.

If you led with that it would've saved a lot of time.

Just Roughly looking at AI for Kentucky I found a reply at about $190. I don’t think you’re THAT far off but I definitely think it’s optimistic, to say the least.

Right on time, get home today and the property tax bill was waiting. The government making me pay the value of something annually that has zero value until it’s sold. What a damnable system.

This is probably common sense to you, but thought I'd mention this.

If you insure your new house based on the 250k purchase price, that means the lender is paid off if the house burns down for specific reasons. It doesn't guarantee replacement of the home if the costs are greater than 250k. You have to have a policy that covers replacement value... IOW some % of value about 250k. Not every policy guarantees that. Make sure your policy covers increases in value and costs to replace.

During the skyrocketing price period-
2019-early 2023, and the covid overlap, building costs ("supply chain issues") were greater than some values. Think about that for a minute.... Even homes that sold for more than list price by 20k or so couldn't have been rebuilt for the purchase price unless you were the builder (in which case the insurance company and lender if there was one would not likely allow YOU to build it). It would take more than a year to get started, too. In the meantime, what is happening to your costs and your money?

The cheaper policy isn't always the best option, and the more expensive policy still might not cover enough to get your home rebuilt quickly enough to cost you a fortune. Be diligent
........

Totally separate topic to insurance-

People that rent and think all landlords are evil have no frickin clue about being a landlord. They have no idea the differences between write offs and losses. Most have zero clue even about home ownership much less operating rental property for a profit. Some are just too daft to try.

Some think it's passive income because they're lazy. Lazy thinkers and lazy workers. If you hear one of your employees talking like that about their landlords, find a way to let them go, because there's a HUGE chance they think the same way about their employers and will cost you money long term.

Find employees who appreciate the risk people take in tying up their money in rental properties and in starting businesses that employ people, when they could just be making money in the market.

How exactly does a young couple save that down payment when inflation has wrecked the economy? I’d love it if it were that easy.

They both have to work and have kids later.
They can't have car payments or student loans.
They will have to buy a live-in fixer upper, work on the property when they get home from their regular jobs and use the sweat equity to refinance to a better position (without PMI).
They will need to refi the next time the rates drop far enough.
They won't be able to eat at restaurants or do door dash for a few years.
They may have to ask their parents if they can do a non-occ co-borrower deal and contribute some down payment money. Still have to qualify and the down payment can go from 0-3% all the way up to 10-20% depending on the lender and qualifying terms.

It's not easy by any stretch. It's hard frickin work. If the values crash after they buy, they're kinda screwed though.

Gutfeld made a great point on why the left cannot meme. Their ideas and beliefs are so ridiculous and never work that it’s easy for the right. It’s hard to meme the opposition when their beliefs are common sense.

Trump has taught Republicans how to win. Instead of always cowering to Dems just make fun of how stupid they are and let them bury themselves. Never in my life have I seen Dems getting owned as bad as they are right now. Even many in the MSM are not covering for them. Vance has learned the way and is much more articulate than Trump. He will be perfect to carry the torch (if Trump does not run again in 2028😂)
