Perhaps a silly question, husband and I are looking to buy a home in northern Dallas. Many of the options I am seeing online are for buildable plans. How accurate is pricing on their website? Is it extremely competitive the way buying a ready made home is? What pros/cons/considerations are there for those that have gone this route? Thanks :)

The pricing on their website is the bare minimum price for a given floor plan, it does not include additional costs such as lot premiums, exterior selections, interior selections, and other upgrades etc. Depends on the area, but it’s more difficult to secure a desirable lot today than it was a year ago. You can’t simply walk-in and secure a lot any more, most big builders have waitlists and they’ll call you for an appointment when it’s your turn. Pros are you get to make selections to your liking if you’re willing to spend $$, and it’s a brand new house. Cons are you end up spending more, and build timelines are slow right now due to supply chain challenges.

To add in here. We bought in 2019 so minimal price inflation, but those prices are bare bones, all level 1 options.

We put over 120k in options onto the house and could have spent a ton more. It adds up quick. Best advice is to set a number you want to pay all in, then take that and subtract 150k, that’s the base price you should target looking at.

8-10% of base for upgrades is a reasonable ball park, half for structural (adding rooms etc) and half for cosmetic (wood floors, fixtures etc)

What would you do?

(Or really this is just me typing out loud. )

Currently 6 years at job A at 100K and 10K annual bonus but lil to no upward mobility. It's safe if not going anywhere.

Recruiter reached out regarding Job B at 130K with greater advancement potential but it starts out at 6 Months Contract to Hire per the agency contract. No bonus, benefits adequate by comparison. There is no guarantee to go full time.

Interview just for practice?

M&A Hours Check. What’s your year end target looking like? Think about 80 percent of the firm’s group is not going to hit hours. Not sure how sustainable this is. Definitely have great leadership that are swallowing the brunt of it, but I’m curious if any survivors of 08 ever had a really bad hours year and still survived. Obviously M&A takes the brunt during these times, but are firms thinking that they want to be poised for when things return back to normal or are they about to let the ball go

Serber and Associates has to be the most archaic. Corrupt law firm in South Florida. For crying out loud, who pays their Associates less than $100,000, while flashing off his wealth in front of the same people. People criticize big law but it's clear that they have a much better business model.
