    Close refi on Monday, start new refi on Tuesday... what then?

    The big wrinkle is whether the person itemizes or not.  If they are borderline, it could help to pay the discount points in order to push them over the threshold and part/all of it would be deductible.

    iPhone 12

    Interesting pricing for the 12 vs 12 Pro.  12 costs $829 (unlocked) and comes with 64GB.  128GB is $879.  12 Pro standard is 128GB and costs $999.  Almost a no brainer to upgrade to the 12 Pro model.  The ASP will be an interesting metric in the next quarterly report.  I have a feeling it's...

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    Curious why you chose to do the whole roof instead of just the section that the solar panels will be installed on.  $10k sounds like a lot to me for just adding some plywood underneath the original tile.  What are the details on what needs to be done?

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    a) Power optimizers (Tesla may not provide this for you and therefore they are saving more than $840 savings) >> If they aren't beneficial for your particular setup, who cares?  If you do need them, Tesla will include it. b) They don't offer a performance guarantee. So, if your system goes...

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    I have Tesla Solar and received "Hanwha Q-cell panel and SolarEdge inverter with optimizers" since I have multiple arrays.  Just depends on whether it's needed or not.  You can always check with Tesla and not get the install done if you are not happy with the hardware configuration.  I have...

    A Detailed Look at the Downside of California?s Ban on Affirmative Action

    I'm confused a bit.  Latinos make up the largest ethnic group of students admitted to the UC universities this year.  This is WITHOUT affirmative action.  How did ending AA harm Hispanics if they now make up the LARGEST group of incoming students?

    Tankless Water Heater + Water Softener Installer Recommendations

    How did you address the 1/2" to 3/4" issue?  Did you have a 3/4" line behind your drywall or something?

    Tankless Water Heater + Water Softener Installer Recommendations

    Looks like the tank -> tankless change is more of a pain than I thought.  Standard water heaters usually have a 1/2" line going in.  Tankless requires 3/4".  This will add a lot more to the install cost.  Has anyone actually gone from tank -> tankless?  Maybe it's just not worth it..

    Tankless Water Heater + Water Softener Installer Recommendations

    Got a few more quotes from plumbing companies and it's absolutely absurd what some charge.  I got a quote for $1800 and $3900 just for labor.  This is even after explaining how standard/basic my set up was.  I guess people pay these prices or else they would quote them.

    Tankless Water Heater + Water Softener Installer Recommendations

    Socal Gas has crazy rebates of $600-$1000 for a tankless water heater.  Looking at the Rheem or Noritz EZ tankless system.  I have quotes of $1k-$1.2k for labor.  Was also thinking of adding a water softener at the same time to leverage some of the install cost.  Anyone have recommendations on...

    Tesla Solar Panels Price Cut

    Anyone notice how little solar energy was generated today?  My 3.78kwh system only generated 20.7kWh.  I guess air temperature is not a super good indicator of how much energy the sun is emitting.

    Capital gains tax of $250k

    Do you have a reference for the $1M lifetime exemption?  First time I've heard of such a rule.

    But there are fees at cashcall.  It's best to keep this discussion to rates with lender credit to negate all 3rd party fees.
