Mild Rants

 I do hope folks who have lived in "their own home"(The bank/lender owns "your home" until you have made the last mortgage payment)  for over 5 years saw through the ruse being spread around by the 31 year old man who attended Wharton School in Pennsylvania(He did not mention whether he had graduated so we can assume he probably didn't)  Ankur Jain stops short of saying that renting a dwelling is stupid while peddling a credit card that will give you cash back and rewards on most people's largest expense which is their rent.  Mr Jain does not mention the enormous cost of property tax, homeowner's insurance, HOA costs and the inevitable repairs and maintenance that can transform the American Dream into the American Nightmare! Ankur is fatuous enough to conclude that paying a landlord is the same thing at "throwing away your money".   Any discerning reader should be able to see falsehoods are being disseminated to benefit Jain and NOT to help tho...

Cherry, an architect, after completing the construction of 80% of his dream house came to realize he had a neighbor from hell. The meddler and apparent curmudgeon apparently believes their opinion of what constitutes code violations supersedes a legally obtained building permit. Any opposition to the homes erection should have been voiced before it was almost complete and 100,000 dollars had been spent! What follows is a snippet from local newspaper His neighbor appealed the decision, saying the house did not follow the historic guidelines. Cherry says he was aware of the complaint but was told by the city that the appeal was procedural and not a threat to the project. Last month, the Board of Adjustment agreed with the neighbor and overturned the approval. By that time, the house was 80 percent built, ...
