my replies are filled with the dumbest landlords and homeowners of all time

[greg @reallybadposter]

@AuntBsRamblings @YossarianSolo you only need to change the anode rod once every 3-5 years even in hard water areas, you can do it yourself pretty easily, you can flush it yourself very easily once a year, even if you pay someone though these are cheap services, ime about 2% of landlords do any maintenance

[greg @reallybadposter]

wtf is wrong with your house, a water heater is $1200 10-15y lifespan, hvac system $5-15k lasts 10-30y, a breaker panel is $1k-5k, lasts 30 years, roof 15-30k also 30y+, you should not be making major repairs every few months

[The R&D Tax Guy @RnDTaxGuy]

@lst156 Homeownership means random $5k repairs every few months. $10k is not a lot for a property that has been lived in by a tenant who probably doesn’t even know when something isn’t working like it should.

@wfjacoby i can go to ferguson right now and get a new furnace, coil, and condenser for under $5k, you can buy them online

[greg @reallybadposter]

@RLstaxwell even with two systems you should be able to find companies willing to do it for under 20, a goodman 3ton condenser furnace combo is around $3500-$4000, large contractors will do two for 16k, smaller will do two for 12-13, you dont need to pay private equity $12,000 in labor

[greg @reallybadposter]

@YossarianSolo flush it and change the anode rod regularly and even with high mineral water it should last at least around 12-15 years

[greg @reallybadposter]

@RLstaxwell if you let a sales guy run up a bill with upgrades and add ons and accessories you can pay $25k for one system, this makes you a dummy

[greg @reallybadposter]

@RLstaxwell the largest residential hvac systems are 5ton, which cover about 2200sq ft in the most extreme climate zone, for a 2500 sqft you are looking at two 3 tons, if youre replacing two hvac systems its gonna twice the expense, but companies are always willing to discount for multiple

[greg @reallybadposter]

@aBowTiedGiraffe at a certain point you are building a new house

[greg @reallybadposter]

@RLstaxwell 20k is the cheapest quote you could get on an hvac system? thats wild because even the scammy private equity companies here (AZ) will install for 12k with warranties, sole owner operators will do it for 7-10k, you can get the condenser and furnace for around 5k or less

[greg @reallybadposter]

@TheWealthMill Ive had probably 100+ customers tell/complain about their roof replacements in the field, most pay 30-40k, the ones that get a good deal pay 15-20k, a 75k roof is either an expensive contractor or a large/complex roof

[greg @reallybadposter]

@ZeroCalJT i am the hvac guy, thats why know what this stuff costs and how long it typically lasts before it has issues

[greg @reallybadposter]

@galets @BlazinAzn7 In my experience a lot of panels start to have issues 30-50 years in, im sure part of it is the quality of work electricians were doing in the 1980s

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

For the millionth time there is no “fracture” over Israel and Iran among Democrats. Among Dem voters support for economic and military aid to Israel is at 20% (74% oppose) and support for war on Iran is 6%. The only fracture is between Dem voters and AIPAC-funded party leadership

They don't say "killed by Hamas" anymore because we know who actually killed most of those people.

[greg @reallybadposter]

@RnDTaxGuy That's not random repairs every few months, that's a run down dwelling that should have had modern appliances priced into negotiations at the time of sale, either way there's 0 excuse to pass costs onto the tenant other than greed and laziness.

[greg @reallybadposter]

@RnDTaxGuy ive been in the home service trades for years, your house has to be falling apart for you to be spending 20k+ every year on repairs

[greg @reallybadposter]

@PlsWatchGundam yeah the incels and the guys who sleep with lots of women but treat them like shit are just two sides of the same coin, people hate the incels way more despite probably doing less material damage because no one likes a whiny loser

[Burner @BurnerDontask]

Elon musk has a ranch of pet women he uses sex selective IVF on to produce a legion of sons and this just isn't deemed worth publishing in mainstream press

[greg @reallybadposter]

kids these days have no idea how bad it was at the start
