Anyone else in New England? Was your house also “destroyed” by the weather today? The skylights are leaking and causing insane water damage to the walls, the picture window is leaking and the garage foundation is letting in water. I give up on houses.

I have a house from 1840 in New England and I have nightmares like what you describe. We did have ice dams one year and made an insurance claim. We got about 10k to cover repairs.

Yeah. I’m trying to find a handyman but I think I’ll need other professionals for the window replacement.

My guess is the total cost to fix the windows, drywall and foundation will be at least $10-20k. 😭

I live in a condo and my floors were ruined by water that leaked in. My building's super was not very helpful, and I'm not sure if I should call insurance first or a contractor first to assess the damage!

Thankfully we were ok although we had gusts as high as 70 degrees on Cape Cod. Very few trees so nothing to fall down, but I was surprised we didn’t lose power.

Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with their pharma branded Instagram accounts? My brand’s account was fine yesterday and now when you search it it’s not on IG. It’s a business account so it’s fully public. I reached out to a few brand managers and it’s hit or miss on if they’re brand is found. Cleared caches, incognito browser, and all. I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Please help! Do these fees look within normal range or are they too high? I am especially concerned about the title company fees!

I went under contract last fall for a new build that will be done later this year. In the contract the seller/builder included a clause that gave them the ability to change the price without cause anytime before the house is complete. This past week they invoked that clause to increase the price by like 7%, supposedly due to material costs. I can either agree to the increase or they return my deposit. My question: is that type of clause even legal? (Cont)

I’m in Dallas and have been renting for 5 years. I don’t have any savings, but have about 30k in my 401k. Im thinking about leveraging that to buy a condo/or house. Is that a good idea or am I in over my head? I mostly want to, because I’m tired of renting and I’ve read reports that prices will only continue to go up. Although, I will have to pay back the 401k + pay rent, so maybe not a good idea. Advice/resources would be helpful.
