Any creative discussion points or just just calculating capital gains (15/20% + 3.8% NIIT + 9.3% CA ) tax will be owed above $500k?

Go with a RIA who will rebate you a portion of the commission.

There are plenty of dual income tech folks (or 1 tech, 1 physician, big law attorney, etc) making 1M+/year in the last few years when you include RSUs/bonuses. Also remember there are many trade-up buyers as well who are selling their 1.5-2.5M property to move into a 4M+ property. 4M just...

Probably cheaper if you are exchanging USD -> GBP due to the strong USD. But might feel different if you are paid in GBP and live there.

This is an interesting comment. I've never considered the exterior paint color would have such an effect on a buyer. Did you have the original paint on your exterior (ie. 24 years of wear/tear?) Would you have re-painted and changed the color scheme if you had just recently painted the same...

What a hell of a story. Congrats on getting an even higher price than expected. Can't imagine how estatic the sellers felt especially during the holiday period.

DTF is MUCH better than Mama Lus and Sunny's Dumplings. I hate the wait/price as much as the next guy, but unfortunately, DTF actually has a superior product.

Looks like it's Capital Seafood. Showed up on Social Media feeds.

Wow, haven't seen a Mike Dunn listing in awhile. He is the king of WTF pricing and this listing is no different. The unusually small backyard probably puts this property at the bottom 5% of lot sizes for GP (known for above average Irvine lot sizes). 2.5M sounds about right.

Too small in diameter. The issue is that the hole/thread was enlarged/stripped as I removed the screw. I hope the hole on the hinge can accomodate a larger diameter. The material seems much stronger/harder than the aluminum frame. I was hoping there would be alternate solutions.

I'm replacing my shower door hinge. The issue is the part where the hinge attaches on the shower door frame. It's held by screws that go into 1/8" thickness aluminum frame. The existing screws are too small now and don't connect with the thread. Any suggestions?

I just had everspring and the string beans were horrible. Half the beans were extremely old, stringy and chewy. Bascially unedible. The other half was slightly better, but all of it was overcooked. I just can't believe they didn't throw away the batch of old string beans and that they would...

Looks like standard wood is just douglas fir wood. PT is not necessary. Other options are more costly and not necessary. My original patio cover lasted 15 years.

So this wouldn't explain why my fees when up in 2024 vs 2023.

Getting my Patio Cover / Trellis replaced with new 2x4 pieces of wood. Should it be replaced with standard douglas fir wood or a pressure treated lumber? How can I tell what is currently being used?
