This would be the inside surfaces. I was afraid you might say that...

We were looking to move up in house right before covid. Home prices exploded and it no longer made sense. What we decided to do was cash out refi our primary home to build a 2nd house at the lake. We took 120,000 in equity out and paired it with another 80k of our own over a couple years and built a home that is worth right around 300k. I'd like that equity to continue to grow more aggressively than any other complicated/risky venture.

The most attractive thing to me at this point is to take equity out of the paid off home, build another one just like it, sell it, rinse and repeat over the next few years. I should be able to work with our contractor and build this one faster now that I theoretically have access to all (or almost all) of the funds up front.

Anyone with any experience in something similar - I'd appreciate any suggestions/advice. HELOC? Cash out REFI? Partner with the contractor (for potentially lower construction cost) and split the profits? Do this through an LLC? Do something else all together?

If anybody in MAGA was really concerned about elitist Ruling Class dirtbags who profit from insider trading doing things that would get you or I sent to prison, they would be completely against Tuberville.

And this is the sentiment I agree with when folks say "this is not what I voted for"

This second term has been completely filled with contradictions and things that are now magically ok that were previously detestable - New wars, insider trading, the Epstein list bs, etc....

He sold that lake martin house many years ago. His son (and wife) owned a house in Auburn that he added his name to the deed to a couple years ago. He had a florida driver's license until 2023.

I agree that the Alabama GOP will dismiss all of this...but it seems very apparent that he absolutely did not live in Alabama.

Just another way that the rules only apply to common folks.

I'm headed to some meetings in New Orleans at the end of the month - Won't have a ton of free time, but will have a couple hours during the mornings, mid week. I think we're staying at the Sheraton on Canal St.

Haven't been to New Orleans in probably 20 years, and never really saw anything. What would yall suggest to see? Preferably just a walk to somewhere those mornings -

Great. 2 dudes with zero experience or knowledge of how the state runs running the state. Can't wait.

Forgive my lack of laundry knowledge. I hang all of my collared/buttoned shirts in my laundry room, never putting them in the dryer.

If i wash them in cold, I'll have better success getting them clean?

I have spent a ton of money buying polos over the past few months, but only end up wearing a couple because of absolute garbage breathability.

Current favorite is a callaway opti-dri. it is just significantly more breathable than anything else I've bought and I only paid like $8 during a sale at academy.

Are these Peter Millar and other brands worth a try at those prices?
What is your current go-to polo?

I've got a kid who has been pretty consistently on the "i want to be a doctor" train for a while and he most likely has the ability - academically and personally - to do so.

He's currently in high school, so we've got a few years before actual med school, but we're trying to start planning and getting our minds wrapped around a strategy of how much debt might be a reasonable amount to begin his professional life. We're fine with him having skin in the game and carrying some of that burden, but we don't want it to cripple him financially.

All I've ever heard is how expensive med school is - looking at tuition alone (not including living expenses) for 4 years is going to run around 140-150K. Does that sound right?

Anyone been in this boat and want to share their experiences?

I've been pretty good, or at least serviceable fairly quickly at everything I've ever tried sports-wise.

Except for golf. Been playing exactly 1 year and shooting in the mid to high 90's on good days.

It was (and still is) frustrating but I did have to realize just how hard this game is. I want to and will continue to get better, but this game ain't just gonna give it to you because you played baseball and hit .390 in high school. Its obviously a much longer, slower grind toward better.

If that were true, we would have taken one of the many opportunities that have been presented over the last few years and absolutely expanded Medicaid.
