  1. The usual wording is "$10 and other valuable consideration." I have seen the same wording on deeds from the 1930's and 40's. To be honest, I have never seen an actual price included in a deed (although I haven't read more than 4 or 5 dozen and I"m not a lawyer).
  2. Yeah, my dad had a logo golf ball collecting disease. He had/has over 11,000 golf balls (I'll bet there are fewer than 30 repeats) on his office walls and probably another 3-4000 (lots of repeats) around the office. When he passed away, I bet he had over 15,000 balls at his house in egg containers. We gave them away here and there and got tired of it, so we donated about 12,000 balls to the First Tee. It was funny when we pulled up with a pickup load of golf balls in egg containers and 2 full 55 gallon trash cans full.
  3. Okay, I'll bite. Which recorded document show the purchase price? I guess you could back into a price on an FHA loan by assuming a 3.5% down payment, but where are you going to get the down payment on a conventional?
  4. No worries. Technically, the county is not supposed to have access to the MLS data, but you'd be hard pressed to convince me that they don't have a backdoor in. They also "prey" on first-time home buyers who don't realize that they don't have to report the sales price when they file for the homestead exemption. It's disclosed on the form but you'd have to read the fine print...and nobody got time for that
  5. Why would the county know the sales price unless it has been used in a previous protest (or the owner is an idiot)? Texas is a non-disclosure state and there is no way to determine sales price from the recorded documents
  6. Not that it will affect my string of ineptitude when it comes to the lottery, but Shit's rigged, yo
  7. The chances of getting a positive return on the appliances, flooring (unless the current flooring is ruined), AC and fence are practically zero. At best, they might save you a little bit by selling the home faster (but not for much more money). It's been a while since I've paid attention to the research, but several years ago the best bang for your update buck in Texas was kitchen and master suite updates and they showed a return of around 65-70%. Of course, this research is done by the Real Estate Center located at Texas A&M, so take it with a grain of sheep...whatever
  8. Yeah, I missed the time stamp on rage's post.
  9. Pretend I'm really dumb. I'm currently on ATT. If I buy the Pixel 3XL and activate it on Google Fi for a month, I can still put it on ATT at the same time and then cancel Google Fi after a month correct?
  10. Another reason that the mortgage companies are for it is that it is easier for them to be sure the payments they are made if they are making the payments themselves. Otherwise, they have to have systems in place to make sure that the taxes are paid (they will lose first lien status) and insurance is in place to prevent loss
  11. Pflugerville area. 4WD hydrostatic transmission with front end loader
  12. Okay, I've decided to sell my Kubota L3800. I've had it for about 5 to 6 years and only have 124.5 hours on it. Haven't used it in a couple of years since I got a zero-turn that I mow with now. Any pointers on how to go about it? Have a 5' shredder and a box grader to go with.
  13. Just curious, do you have potential slab damage and where do you live? They are just not very common (that I have seen) around Austin unless there are some warning signs like slab damage.
  14. Agreement here has to be made during the option period, so within the first 7 to 10 days after the effective date of the contract
  15. I have the Davis Vantage Pro 2 that has been flawless (other than the anemometer bearing going out) for over 3 years. Uploaded to Weather Underground for that entire length of time with no issues.
  16. Just a heads up. Those are the three piece balls, not the four piece that everyone was raving about. Still a good deal for mid-level balls, but not the Pro V1 competitors.
  17. Bert's Frito Pie is outstanding. Let it sit for a few minutes and the fritos absorb some of the sauce. Fritos Chopped Beef Jalapeno Sausage (optional) Beans Cheese (optional) Sauce
  18. Funny, she doesn't look Druish My vote goes to either Love Actually or The Princess Bride
  19. I had three done on front bottom teeth with no anesthesia. The dentist said it wouldn't help since the nerve had been severed (hit in the face with line drive pitching softball). My jaw hurt for a couple of days afterwards, other than that, it wasn't that bad.
  20. Are things any different for the second weekend of the tournament? I'll be there then
  21. Well, shit...anyone have any idea on what this does to royalty owners? EP (bought the lease from Carrizo) just drilled a couple of new wells on family land and are soon to be fracking.
  22. So the same agent represented you, the buyer, and the seller?
  23. Outscored the league this year and will probably finish in third due to injuries down the stretch causing a 3 game losing streak and four out of the last five. Had Kareem Hunt and and picked up (a week before the suspension was announced) Spencer Ware...oops Had Melvin Gordon and picked up Austin Ekeler a week before Gordon gets hurt...oops OJ Howard...oops Aaron Jones...oops Thielen nose dived that last 3-4 weeks...oops We are the kiss of death for fantasy players.
  24. The public apology was because she was a British citizen, not a Kiwi. There have been six suspected murders in the last 11 days in New Zealand. Also just saw that New Zealand is at 59 murders this year and counting. While not Chicago high, it's not insignificant either. A little context would have been great.
  25. And the gas tank just barely above E
