Not sure what redfin and zillow are disrupting really. They seem to be pushing agent services which I assume is their high margin product. So they are trying to capture the commission market not revolutionize it. Even the ibuying is primarily a lead generation tool. You can take their lowball...

Plus a lot of buyers getting frustrated losing bidding wars and thinking maybe new construction is more realistic

i think he means pay your seller 3% or whatever but offer 0% buyer agent share on MLS. even in a hot market it's a bad idea to reduce your potential pool of buyers.  also some agents have buyer rep agreements that require buyers to pay the difference if seller offers a below-market split. the...

i know a bit about some of the litigation in this area.  the main argument in the antitrust class action suits is that the way that broker commissions are paid (both buyer and seller agent paid from sale proceeds by escrow, rather than from buyer and seller respectively) is anti competitive. ...

china will bail out the banks, not evergrande.  evergrande will end up getting sold off in pieces and the executives sent to reeducation camps probably. the bigger problem for global markets is a fear that china will crack down further on debt-fueled growth.

Reminds me of that curb episode where Larry buys a house for Cheryl's sister and she flips it

pretty soon you'll just send your deposit to $escrow on cash app

right wingers taking VAERS data out of context, left wingers taking opensecrets.org data out of context, same energy

They probably figure they may as well get your offer in case escrow falls through

I don't think this is what you meant to say ...

storage is so expensive per kwh that I really doubt it makes economic sense to get batteries just to arbitrage peak/off peak rates especially since the sun is out during much of the peak time. it's more for people who want to be self sufficient and have protection during outages

yes there are two ways to "sell" energy back to the grid in CA. one way is you get storage credits with your provider that are used to deduct against your metered usage. so if you "sell" energy during peak times, and use grid supply during non peak times, you come out ahead. at end of year...

I would pay for a baja blast subscription

Tesla still being around doesn't mean Tesla Solar will still be around. Solar has been a pretty bad line of business for them generally. It's only profitable because of powerwall sales, which is why they switched to requiring both. They only changed course on that because powerwall use chips...

When I think back to everything I learned in elementary school that prepared me for success, it is really the homework that stands out

it'll end up as no SALT cap for people who make under $400k and are in a union

the only point of the referral fee is to increase profits by bringing in more business.  i assume they've calculated that they make more money this way.

I mean, it basically means "pussy" Would be pretty weird to have a resort called "pussy valley"

except the NFL, totally coincidentally, requires you to be 3 years out of high school to enter the draft

Go read some of the stories on TMC about people with year old solar installs where Tesla still hasn't submitted paperwork to the utility and they can't get ahold of anyone at Tesla to do anything about it. I don't think the risk is worth saving $1-2k personally.
