Just hoping ac holds out with this great though looks like after months of dry have thunderstorms during showing weekend

If you’re expecting over asking while waiving inspections and appraisal, you’re probably going to have a bad time.

Lower field that I'm converting to pasture is doing really well much better than what I thought it would in the first year.

While that is a particularly good view of the pasture, I'd have to say everything is looking good. Looks like you're setting yourself up well. I look forward to more pictures of your property. And your wife's boobies.

I'm also hoping for a cratering with the right timing. Help my plans of getting what I want cheaper, and to offset any increase in financing costs.

Being right is only half the battle. Timing is the other half.

The trick with Burry is while he was right in '05, he very nearly didn't survive long enough to win. He knew he was being fucked by the banks but couldn't do anything about it.

Question for those in the home building industry or who built their home from scratch. What is the price premium like for buying an empty lot that already has city water/sewer and utilities available to hook up to, versus a lot that may need a septic tank and/or power/water run to it? I have only ever had city sewer and if the difference is 3-5k for a quarter acre lot it seems like a no-brainer for me.

From my research it depends how far your lot is from those services. They charge per foot/mile/whatever that they have to extend the utilities.

Still think the best NFT analogy I have heard is the wife banging the neighbors. Your marriage certificate is your NFT (ownership for lack of better term), but anyone can freely use your wife. You sit with your marriage certificate in hand while your wife is out having an orgy with anyone who pleases.

So Intel is building a massive chip plant about 15 minutes away from my house. Anyone have experience living next to something this community changing moving in nearby? Housing is already in short supply like everywhere else, I bought my home four years ago for 200K and everything in the neighborhood is going for 400K+ these days. I refinanced last year to a 2.25 so don’t plan to ever sell but am I crazy to think these houses will be going for 1mm in three years when the plant and all the surrounding shit is opening? Not sure if that happens if I should cash out and build my dream house on some land somewhere else or sit on it as a backup early retirement plan in 15 years.

I would find it odd that INTC would be paying chip manufacturers enough to buy million dollar houses.
