I don't know enough to confirm, yet, but that makes the best sense

Oh, man. I feel like Troy coming back into the apartment with a stack of pizza, only it's positive Covid tests. Health~ma!

So it's feeling kind of inevitable at this point.

I don't know, I'm still trying to be one of the unicorns who never get it.

I need some calm~ma for the house.

...you're not wrong, dang.

And I will ,eventually, have to ship them, come to think of it.

OMG fanon becomes canon!

So we talked to our realtor which tempered our expectations somewhat. Also we're now looking at disclosure documents on the property and it's clear that the previous owner got old and let things get dilapidated.

But we'll see it in person this Saturday and we'll put in a bid. But our Realtor said that he expects the overbid process in court will drive the price on this up towards $2.8 which is more than we were planning.

He also told us that it's the slow season, and a lot more stock is going to come onto the market soon and we're well positioned to get what we want. So some patience is in order.

But just thinking about what excites us about this property helps clarify what we're looking for.

In my mind I was sort of thinking we'll get something for us now, and down the line we could buy a flat for Emmett and Matilda to secure a place for them in San Francisco. But if you add that price to our budget for our own place that would be much more than what this place will go for. So, it makes sense to think about getting a place with a separate unit now.

Also our financial advisor is holding our money out of the market right now because it's so volatile, so it seems like it might be a better time to put that chunk of money into real estate.

But really we need to go back to our financial advisor and our bro-in-law (TJ) and get a better sense of how much we should stretch our buying budget. Just thinking out loud. These are obviously good problems to have.

Ditto. My nearly asymptomatic pneumonia was not Covid-related. And was still more than bad enough. And has really driven home how not-invincible I am. The fact that we're no longer working remote reduces the likelihood that I can retain unicorn status, but I'm trying.

So Covid avoidance, or, failing that, easy Covid ~ma all around.

Bwahaha!!

Oh my god, I had to stop checking my retirement account, because it's stressing me out (unlike Tim, who is cheerfully saying "Now is the time to buy!"). I'm pretty sure the value of my IRA is 2 nickels, some shiny rocks, and a handful of Froot Loops. I really hope the Froot Loop market goes back up.

I, like Dr Zoidberg, am investing heavily in sandwiches.

Yeah I’m def not checking my 401k.

And sadly rather than an afternoon nap I have an afternoon dentist appointment.

I do like the shipping of the OTP though!! I do not like Teppy having covid.

Good luck with real estate Hec, it’s all so wild.
