@Camp4 I dont realize this on a day to day basis. But when I walk around with my son and son in law it becomes very apparent.

@DadisFIRE Did you just pay the capital gains when you sold your rental houses? I imagine it would be large after 15-20 yrs of owning.

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@mbrown_co We gave our kids $ for grades. They did great in school. Not sure if the $ helped or if they would’ve got good grades anyways. When report cards hit, they were proud to show them and had fun telling me to pay up.

@zachmelloh26 Thank you Zach

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@zachmelloh26 Do the kids get taxed on the gift amount?

@BowTiedKong Sons a senior I held him back. Wife’s in education and was initially against it. Now she says it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. He’s excelled academically, athletically, and we have him at home for another year. It’s a no brainer for boys.

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@Camp4 Congratulations Kevin. That’s a cool article.

@pcal051 @TripleNetInvest O’Reillys, Baxter’s, and Napa offer this in my area. I’m in car business. Az just opened in my town and neighboring town. We used O’Reillys, because they’d deliver the smallest order in 15-30 min. Pretty amazing really.

@CarBusinessMan What’s the sweet spot for internal parts mark up?

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@sweatystartup Another benefit is you get an extra year of them at home. Raising kids goes by like a blink of the eye. Glad I have an extra year with him.

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@CarBusinessMan Do you mind sharing what region you’re in?

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@CarBusinessMan Yes! Our Bdc is an hour away. Cumbersome. We had one at store I was working at in 05-10, first thing to go when economy tanked.

@Camp4 I closed my used car lot last year, 13 yrs. Took summer off and went to work at a dealership 5 min from my house. There are new stresses, but lowered my overall risk. Customers, employees, regulators, used car fluctuations. Overall happy with decision with no regrets.

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@sweatystartup I sent this too my college age kids, getting eye rolls & thumbs down. Idc, those dogs will end up at my house and I don’t want them. Great post Huber, thank you!

@realEstateTrent Smart Trust, a good read on this.

@Seth_Troutt @AdamMGrant Also maybe daily life required more walking, carrying. Not as much need for extra activity.

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@rodrepairs This is a great listen. Thanks for posting Rodney

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@innoc_bystander Are either you or your wife like that?

[Travis Jonas @TravisJonas54]

@dailydirtnap Day one listed and I have other interest I��m sticking to 1.65
Day 150 listed and no offers, I’m keeping 1.495 together whatever that may be. Maybe a soft counter at 1.5, sometimes saying yes to an offer spooks people who are expecting a little negotiation.
