Choice home warranty is awesome. But I’ve gone like 3 years without a claim so I’m going to cancel

They are mostly scams but if you know your policy inside and out you can use to your advantage. I use liberty home guard for my rental properties and they are fine… always finding reasons to deny coverage and their contracts are structured to limit coverage as much as possible and avoid the most common issues.

Good for old homes with old appliances and centralizing all the claims so you don’t have to have techs for everything they can deal with it all even though coverage might end up being limited. They replaced all my appliances at wholesale cost which was nice so there was some savings even though their actual coverage was somewhat limited and you do everything through them so it’s streamlined.

Definitely negotiate pricing and low visit fees. Mine is $65 per visit and would probably pay double for a standard plumber or electrical initial visit

Noted. thanks for the detail

Don’t get them

why?

To add on, i just bought a house and was given choice home warranty—anyone have experience with them?

Yes me. They’re great I think! I’m going to cancel though since I haven’t had a claim in 3 years

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%.

He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.
