ParticipantIf she can get $100 per night for something that costs in the low $200k range, it might work as a VRBO assuming a decent level of occupancy.
The real question is, would it pay as a NORMAL rental? Who wants to run a fuckin hotel and wash bedsheets after some dirty slobs?
Isn’t the point of being a landlord to set back, relax, and collect rents, not have to deal with crap daily?
ParticipantIf she just wants a rental property, she can probably find the same for under $200k in San Diego. 1 bedrooms from the 70s and 80s aren’t hard to find in that range.
ParticipantCan you rent it for more than taxes + maint + a 20% down loan? If yes, go for it. If not, hold off and hope that Japan and Europe deliver us a nice recession in 2015.
ParticipantI’d sooner consider whether they can do the job capably than whether they have some bureaucrat’s blessing.
ParticipantBut the employee is usually expected to give 2-week notice. There is a clear power imbalance.
Expected to doesn’t mean you have to. Not illegal to simply not show up one fine morning and let them chase their tails till they realize you’re gone.
This should be used judiciously, only in a way that inflicts maximal damage to a firm that treats its employees like crap anyway.
ParticipantI read that average d/p is something like 22%. Obama’s pet stooge, Mel Watt, is trying to change that (at least for Fannie/Freddie) but changes are slow and incremental. Hopefully the GOP congress will do their best to obstruct and retard.
There’s no reason why it should change. People without skin in the game will find is easier to walk away, and if you buy at 3% down, you’re close to being underwater from day 1. 20% down was the standard till the 90s(?). It was also the de-facto standard in jurisdictions that didn’t bubble up or down much. Read: Texas, under their homestead act, and NYC apartment buildings.
Participantmoneymaker: I have a fingerprint reader on a laptop. It often takes more than one try to work. Not something I’d want to play with while someone is shooting at me, especially if my hand is covered with dirt or something. Besides, how often do cops have their guns stolen and misused?
Seems that something like that may risk more lives than it saves.
scaredyclassic: seems like this ruling still allows SD to license people to carry a pistol. Could they make the license apply to open carry, or make the license require concealment?
ParticipantA permit and background check is still needed — I don’t see the problem. I wouldn’t mind them adding some sort of competence test for the permit (i.e. if you’re gonna carry, please know how to actually hit your target vs innocent bystanders).
ParticipantTiered service for end users would still be legal. Forcing users to pay to unthrottle specific sites is unacceptable.
Would you like to have to pay $500/mo to be able to access any sites other than those run by big pig firms that can pay off the ISPs? Didn’t think so.
ParticipantTo be fair, the online pharmacy needn’t be in India or use Indian drugs not approved by FDA 🙂
ParticipantBugger content. Just give me a big fat firehose to the content outlet of my choice.
ParticipantI bet that you’d scream your head off if the room you checked into had an overflowing terlit or the WiFi didn’t work. Or if you ran out to your car in PJ’s and locked yourself out without a wallet or phone. Trust me, desk clerks at hotels have their uses and earn their keep. Practically, there has to be someone on site, so why not keep them at a desk, or at least accessible by buzzer?
They also serve as a filter against tweakers who happen to have a few shekels to rub together renting a room and either destroying it or setting a fire and destroying the hotel. Computers don’t have spidey-sense as to when the hotel should suddenly develop a no-vacancy type situation. “Very sorry, sir/ma’am, but we just rented out the last room. All of the others have flooded toilets. Yes, of course, we’ll be happy to give you a full refund.”
(In airports, TSA or private security act as bouncers, but the idea is the same.)
Problem is that the option to deal with a human will disappear or be priced into impossibility very quickly. Fuck that idea.
ParticipantWell, in civilized countries, enough resources are made available so people can use them comfortably WITHOUT hoarding.
It should be available. But never mandatory or priced significantly higher in order to discourage use of the real thing.
ParticipantOn the other hand, the cable firms could dump their parallel signal distribution infrastructure, which would result in some cost saving.
