I’ve started a small side business selling a particular thing on facebook marketplace, i’ve been pulling in pretty good money, 3k/week on a good week. My margins are 89%. I was laid off a month ago and think maybe I should just try to scale it. But not sure what to do next. And not sure how to ask for help without including more details. I have ~20k in savings and have been using the profit to support myself instead of investing it into scaling.

I understand you don’t want to give more details, but it’s a bit difficult to give advice without more context. Can you share just the type of product you’re selling? Or how many you have to sell to make 3k?

It’s readily framed artwork, I have to sell 15 to make 3k, so $200 a piece

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

No washer dryer or refrigerator included
Added these at cost, downgraded to basic grey paint throughout, removed blinds and builder accepted 460. Feeling cheated :/
