How broke are you to not be able to buy a fucking washer? you're embarrassing yourself with posts like this :-\
Vince, are you on Augusta road where you know the ghetto is at? ???
Why is the finger white in the first pic? ???
So I look around and tell him that I need something that doesn't leak, doesn't squeak, and I could care less how many dents in it as long as it works. So he shows me a Whirlpool washer and dryer. Its got a few dents and it was a bit discolored but it was fine for what I needed. After some talk, he gave both of them to me for 250 bucks with another 50 bucks for the cords, vents, and delivery by some guys working indy. We shook hands on it, I dropped 15 Andrew Jackson's in his hand and that was it.
These are the one's I bought. They will be delivering my goods in a few hours on a pickup truck and will be installed. That's how business is done folks. No credit card payments, no waiting a week, no bullshit

why does he come on here bragging about how broke he is?
he is a business consultant?
who washes his clothes at a public laundry mat?
Since I moved back to Greenville, I've been going to the laundromat spending about 20 bucks a week on clothes. It gets a little expensive after awhile so I decided to buy a washer and dryer. The least expensive set I could find was this Amana brand with practically no features. With cords, dryer vent, delivery, disposal fees and taxes it came up to 900 bucks and delivery in a week?? Come on son
I don't think so. I'm not some sucka MC who's going to spend that kind of money . Here's how Vince Goodrum does business. Went to a little known spot on theghetto sideoutskirts of Greenville that a friend told me about. No fancy signs or sales papers or any of that shit.
strong ghetto vocabulary mixed with feelings of anger and depression
How broke are you to not be able to buy a fucking washer? you're embarrassing yourself with posts like this :-\
Haha This Saving money thread is really a thinly veiled brag that vince is finally not poor enough to afford cheap second hand laundry appliances. Vince is slowly but surely crawling his way out of the gutter
Its been a while since there's been a montage thread up here. The fact is that people are too busy trying to keep up with everyone else which is the real reason that the average American household has over 130k dollars of debt with little to no savings. People live paycheck to paycheck in this country and are bound to their jobs. A person getting fired is usually the breaking point for a mass shooting/suicide.
Fact is that I spend my hard earned money wisely....no credit cards, no debt, no living check to check etc. That's the benefits of frugal living within your means. Just keeping it 100% for you Getbiggers.

Lol, Vince have you heard of Craigslist? I was moving and sold my 3 year old washer AND dryer for like $350. Paid a he'll of a lot more than that for them. Just need to look for people that are moving cross country and wanting to unload things.
$900 Who knew you could buy a washer and dryer for so little? Were they used? Were you shopping at Goodwill?

vince, are you going to put these into your tiny house your going to move into next year?
Nope. I'll sell them or donate them.
How will you wash your clothes then? Or are you going back to wearing a loin cloth or a fig leaf?
Nope. I'll sell them or donate them.
Nothing wrong with scratch n dent. I bought a new upright freezer a couple years ago for 50% less than the perfect model out in the front showroom. Same warranty. I'm hard pressed to even find the scratch and wouldn't matter anyway ~ it's out in the garage.
Those units look used :-\ but with 6 mo. guarantee, delivered... doesn't seem like a bad deal
Yet you didn't feel compelled to post about it under the guise of giving everyone unsolicited (and totally unnecessary) business advice ?
x2 :'(
HG Gregg summer special for 900.... ::) Goodwill honestly has gotten expensive over the years and they sell some items for more than what you can get at Walmart or Target. Greenville has some awesome indy thrift stores and the flea markets and strip are great around here especially White Horse flea market where I cut my teeth selling vitamins from my car back in 2000

I actually agree with you about spending wisely and limiting needles spending. we have had our dryer over 10 years, when it broke I fitted a new heating element and it was as good as new. I personally know people living for each pay and its a fucking mess, nothing more embarassing than someone saying they can't afford something till payday
This. I mean, how much can you really spend on a washer and dryer? Are you going to buy one that is made out of gold? My friend and his wife make a good living. Combined, they make between 250-300K. They went out and purchased a decent washer and dryer. Could they have afforded a top of the line? Sure. But, the question is: Why? The ones they purchased work just fine. I can understand wanting a nice car and a nice house. But who really cares if you have a top of the line washer or dryer. Who are you going to show it off too? ??? ???
Well, since Melvin Goodrum documented his washer/dryer saga online with narrative & pics, I would guess he's trying to show off to the forum.
It's not showing off.
Goodrum is just displaying his business acumen, in order to help getbiggers be more mindful with their money.
I see it as Goodrum offering some consultation advice around money. Nothing wrong with that.
I am writing a lot of PM's with Goodrum right now. We are negotiating his hourly rate for giving me life coaching on webcam. We can't really agree since he won't go under 500 $ per hour.

I believe this combo costs a bit under 3 grand. Full wash / dry in about 36 minutes. Worth the money, in my opinion.

In many cases, the features one wants are only available on higher end washers and dryers. For example, front loading washers are more expensive than top loading ones are. Front loading washers are less hard on your clothes, so they could ultimately save you money.
Poppy cock. All gimmicks to get you to spend more money. X will make your clothes last 5.67627 years longer. Sure. ::) ::). Its like with the iphone. They add 1 new feature, which is not even a big deal, and everyone goes out to buy it.
You could be right. However I am not willing to chance it. Maybe I am fussier about how my clothes look than some other folks are. My washer has a hand wash cycle which I have used to wash cashmere and merino wool sweaters with great success.

Jeans should actually never be washed.
I'm sure a lot of wealthy people live frugally. Poor people too, the difference is that they have no choice.I see more "poor" people with nicer phones than me driving in much nicer cars as well.

Gayer than having an opinion on washing clothes. I have a woman, or even better, a Mexican, do my laundry.The only other person I trust with laundry is Jezebelle. It is serious business. Mexicans don't know how to read those charts. I would only use their service if it was hand wash only. Be careful.
Yes, but how many of use are wearing cashmere and merino wool sweaters on a daily basis? Ive never wore either of them. Shoot, I do not even know what a merino wool sweater is. If I ever buy a cashmere sweater, Ill just take it to the dry cleaners.
Jeans should actually never be washed.
Like most things today, the older ones are more reliable than the new models anyway.
This is what I've read too. It is hard to think of wearing clothes which are never washed. I wash my jeans inside out and damp dry them. -Seems to work.
Vince, if you would have put in a few hundred more bucks, you could have gotten a Fisher Price washer and dryer.

. Since I'm not on a city water system, it's preferable not to introduce excess soapy water into the ground water and septic system. Drying a load seems to take just as long even though "they" say a front loader spins out more water.I was a "guest" at a ranch near Blanco Tx. with a woman who irrigated her roses with her washing machine exhaust. She related that the biological activity in the soil around the rose roots help decompose the detergent. I have seen no research, but there are many septic systems that irrigate gardens with septic exhaust.

So some say. I've not seen proof of this though.

My washer and dryer were included when I bought my house
That's a free business tip that's usually included only in my platinum membership life coaching course
So you actually bought a used washer and dryer. Good job.
I still have a TV I bought almost 20 years ago that still works as good as the day I bought it. I'd like to see any of the TV's today last 20 years.

Included, but not free. You still paid for them. You just didn't realize it. Not only that, if you took out a mortgage on your house, you will likely end up paying much more for that used washer and dryer then it would have cost you for fancy new equipment.
How so? Please elaborate!
Time will tell. In the meantime, the resolution and features on newer flat screen TV's are far and above any of those on a TV as old as yours is.
When I recently replaced my 2004 Mazda, it was partly because it is loaded with features not available in cars that old. With almost 150,000 miles on it, it still ran perfectly as if new. There are many reasons to upgrade to newer products than how long it will last. Most vehicles in the 1950's didn't hold up for anywhere near 150,000 miles and they required a lot more maintenance, fuel and oil.

It is pretty simple really. The seller included appliances with the sale and as part of the purchase price, which they've raised to compensate for the inclusion. When you take out a thirty year mortgage, you spread however much you indirectly paid for these appliances over those thirty years. If you've had/have a mortgage you already know that you pay more in interest each month than you do on the principle for the first 15 years. So if the seller added $1,000 to the home's sales price to cover the "gift" of the washer and dryer, you will pay $574.96 in interest on them, making the total cost for the washer and dryer $1,574.96. In addition to this, you will be paying for them long after they went to the junkyard, considering most appliances last only 10 to 15 years.
simple and totally wrong
chattel is not given any value in an appraisal and mortgage lenders don't lend on appliances.
If you want to purchase appliances from the seller you do that separately and pay for them in cash
In my case the seller left them there (likely because he didn't want them as I had been leasing the house from him for a year
prior to purchase and he had already moved to a new home)
In the legal sense you are correct. Realistically, the seller can include chattel in the price he asks for the real estate/property as long as it is not identified as such. I seriously doubt these items would affect the appraisal unless they are gold plated or the property in incredibly cheap.
What a fun and sporty car this is. Maybe I should get one for the bi-ways.
This is what I actually bought and in this color, (red is too flashy for me). Can you photoshop my person into it?
What an ugly ride.
What an ugly ride.
If it were included on a contract the lender would specifically ask the appraiser to comment on whether it was given any value and if so it would be deducted from the appraised value (and of course no competent appraiser is going to say he included chattel in an appraised value of real property)
Also, I know my transaction (I knew the seller) and purchased the property at less than market value (slightly -based on the current comps at that time) and the seller also gave me a credit to replace the carpets so I'm pretty sure the old washer and dryer in the garage (worth maybe $300 at that time which was 13 years ago) were not imputed into my purchase price
They also damn sure weren't part of my mortgage so your premise that I "likely ended up paying much more for that used washer and dryer then it would have cost you for fancy new equipment" is total nonsense
What a fun and sporty car this is. Maybe I should get one for the bi-ways.

Congrats on the new wheels and drive safe.
That you find the ride ugly is of no importance to me.

What one likes or doesn't like about how a car looks is subjective. What you see as ugly, others view as attractive or interesting.
My car is not my status symbol. What is important is how it drives, whether or not it is comfortable and for some, the level of technology. From an appearance standpoint, the interior aesthetics mean more to me because this is what I see when I am driving my car. The perforated leather and suede seats are very comfortable. The display/touch screen is fairly large and very interactive providing a multitude of features. Unlike you, I appreciate the compact and muscular appearance the exterior has. Other folks must too, because they often compliment the car.
So I look around and tell him that I need something that doesn't leak, doesn't squeak, and I could care less how many dents in it as long as it works. So he shows me a Whirlpool washer and dryer.

Tuna can with wheels. If I was driving beside such an eyesore, I'd sideswipe it and then throw a banana peel onto the hood.
I bet you would....loser!
Basically, you bought a used washer and dryer on clearance (which I did about 14 years ago, shortly after I got married). You can do that at department store. I got my washer from Sears (the only issue with the washer was that the temperature setting was backward....cold was hot and hot was cold; no issue with the dryer).
Wash your damn jeans, f'n savages.Yup, smelly nasty fuckers. I'm glad none of you are my co workers.
I am all about some Sears scratch and dent. Bought plenty of stuff like washers and dryers and even a stainless steel refrigerator with a dent on the side that was hidden by my wall in the kitchen.
Only fools pay full price for no reason.
You would think Goodrum would have done this when he worked at Lowes. He could buy a scratch and dent model and combined with his employee discount would get a great deal.

My credit is great and I do have one Capital One card that I keep for emergencies but I simply like buying everything cash. I'll finance only when its a wise investment.
What I've found is that when people have credit cards, they have a false sense of actual wealth and will spend it haphazardly. Then they can only pay the minimum fees which basically doesn't pay down the interest and keeps them as indentured servants. I not a sucka mc that falls for bank gimmicks

Yeah, but if you use the Capital One rewards card for ONLY what you have the cash for, and pay it on time, you get the rewards. I have thousands in CC "relief" for whenever I want from doing this.
It's free money.

Does Vince have credit issues?
If you're a mature and responsible individual, I have zero idea why you would choose the mega-hassle of using cash money for all transactions. I essentially never use paper money. I have the same two 20s in my wallet that were there, like, sometime last year.
Weekly I log onto my bank account and pay my balance to zero.
Easy.
Not quite sure but Bay use to try and tell the people on getbig how credit works. I understand that Goodrum is a genius in every since of the word and a millionaire, but he insisted he can't trust himself with a few credit cards. :-\ that's not the best thing but he is a millionare, so, I guess credit does not apply to Vince Goodrum, MCT, HH, Genius, etc,.. But one must use credit to have a good credit score. I have two that I put $25 on every month, pay the bill off and don't think shit about it.
No, growing up in the streets, I'm just more comfortable with cash or my debit card.
But what about the free money rewards cards offer?
Since you appear to be responsible with your money, why not take advantage of this while simultaneously improving your credit score?
No, growing up in the streets, I'm just more comfortable with cash or my debit card.
Vince, you do understand that you need credit, right?
Yes and I already stated that I have a Capital One card. I'm just not much on spending.

Face it, you just owned yourself by revealing that you have no credit or even a credit card.
Anyone who runs a business uses a card as much as possible for the cash back, it makes no businesses sense not to.
Since you claim to have 100000s successful businesses, how do you pay the bills? By cash or check?
Why pay by check when you can pay by card, get the rewards & immediately pay it off?
But since you don't have, & never have had a successful business, you wouldn't know these things....life coach!!!!!!
It is possible to run a business without credit. Your claims are without merit.

I know, which I've already told that moron that I have a Capital One card. All he posts are about me on here. He obviously wants to Shizzo my cock.
xmelvin looks like a big bottom queen here.
No doubt. I never bothered to get a credit card until about 5 years ago because online shopping is a PITA without one. That's still all I use it for. I don't give 2 shits about some nonsense points/rewards/miles scheme associated with a credit card.
Credit cards, when well managed, help increase one's credit rating/score. A high score often insures a lower APR. This is advantageous when purchasing big ticket items, such as a house or a car. I use my credit and debit cards all the time. I pay off any credit card purchases each month, thus avoiding credit card interest altogether. You are right about online shopping for sure, if you use an American Express or Visa card for online purchases and something goes amiss with a purchase, you can dispute it and very often get the charges removed. This does not work with debit cards. I track purchases better with a debit card as opposed to cash. It's good to know where your money is going.

But did you go to the one near the pet milk factory off of 85? I had a few buddies who go out through the ringer and have heard terrible stories about that auto auction.
But maybe you got a decent one.
Ugly & strong is what you want. People fling money at complete lemons if the paint is nice. Fresh paint is a red flag. I've seen trucks with freshly painted undersides that clearly came from salt country. Vendors will pull some dirty shit. Fleet/ government vehicles are good to look at since they're often swapped out at an age/mileage limit and come from a regular maintenance regiment, but there ought to be a fleet of them there at similar age - not just 1. Individuals rarely undertake preventative maintenance at recommended intervals so maintenance logs are nice but rare, and perhaps not entirely to be trusted. Badging means nothing. Bling is the enemy. You'll see bidding wars for a mercedes or jaguar with a mahogany dash and fucked engine when the rock-bottom model ford with a scratch that got clockwork oil changes can be had with minimal competition.
If it's a Ford truck the bidding war would be for the Ford. Nobody in America wants a used Jaguar, but Goodrum.
I've heard more nightmare stories about modern Jags and Rovers.... I get the impression they're kept afloat only by monied Brits too stubborn to consider anything else no matter how much of a headache these things are to own because the ones made in 1970 were solid.

I have one of the new XJ Jaguars. No problems so far. Knock on wood.
Want a nice cruising car for the weekend and a truck for hauling. Pickup truck is pretty easy, 400-500 bucks for a junker bunker. Car will be another story

enough teasing... show us what you bought. :)
"The fun begins at 6:00." Goodrum
Its 2:50pm in NC.
ah shit, I will be sleeping in 3 hours. What a shitty way to end my evening. But at least I will get to see Goodrum's extravagant purchases when I wake up. Am I the only one hoping for a used Jaguar?
:) :D

All done folks and back home. Didn't get a car....too many hoodrat Caddies (Looks nice on outside but shitty inside). Did pull the trigger however on a 95 Jeep Cherokee. With tax, came to 1125.00.....fair deal in my opinion. Needs a paint job and window handle cranks but brand new engine, new tranny, tires excellent, and drives fine.....definitely used as a hunting vehicle and I'll likely do the same thing.
Pictures coming soon, Getbiggers. Will be back down next time to snatch up a car.

New engine... Be sure to look at the cooling system, V. Guessing it's a diesel. My SOP is do all fluids & filters, including transmission and diffs. Grease. Valve clearance adjust maybe. Belts inspect. Load test battery or at least confirm it's holding voltage after 24 hrs and charges when running. Good luck with it.

Cooling system's fine. Surprisingly, its a 4L gasoline. Belts are new. Battery is fair but cranks it and holds a charge. AC needs freon....trickles out a little cold....lol. Stereo system is brand new and was playing some country music.
Ultimately, when it comes to an auction, you never know what you're getting into so its always a risk. Car auctions are the roughest as dealers will stare you down and intimidate you. But you gotta hold your shit and do the damn thing.
I'll drive it to Fisher's Garage, have it checked out and fix whatever and then have it painted. It'll look purdy.
How many Miles on the rebuilt engine?
Dude, just spend 300 dollars and Plastidip it yourself. It will look brand new and you can pick many badass colors. Really easy to do yourself in an afternoon.

Perhaps...want to make sure it's sound before deciding
Vince, will you write it off on your taxes as a company car?
Is this part of your plan to make less money to defer paying federal taxes?
Yes, it's going to be written off as a company car....i needed a truck for hauling supplements and exercise equipment
Vincenzo, do you still have the Ford Taurus?
Perhaps...want to make sure it's sound before deciding
??
Vinnie you said you were painting it, it's a new engine and transmission why wouldn't it be sound?
With those two features you could easily resell at twice what you paid?
Definitely...I can about 2400 for it if I put it in the I Wanna. But for now it's going to make money so I need it to look good. Plastidip actually sounds like a good idea though
Well good score whatever you do. How is the interior, worn out or kept up?

Needs an armrest console and a headliner...about 100 bucks for both items. Mainly needs vacuuming and cleaning.
Are you going to invest in plastic covering for the seats?

I hope this works out for you. Junkers that cost what you paid are rarely a good deal. You do realize that jeep you bought is over 30 years old. What's the usual lifespan of an automobile? Like I said, I wish you well with your purchase.

You're not good at math are you?? The engine and the transmission by itself in the jeep is worth about 600 bucks more than I paid for it as they are brand new. I can part it out and make money if I wanted to.
There is a risk at purchasing at the auction but more benefits. The vehicle is paid for. I added it to my insurance policy which added just an additional 55.00 dollars to my 6 month policy....less than 10 bucks a month because I don't need collision with making payments on a vehicle. In addition, its a Jeep Cherokee Sport, so you can drive anywhere with it...in the woods, hills, etc so there are people that will buy it for hunting season.
Best of all, it makes an epic thread on Getbig. I normally would not have purchased this vehicle, usually I get cars like Hondas and Toyotas because I can buy them for about 200 and sell them for a quick turnaround. But if I didn't buy anything, it would have ruined my thread.
Front seats are fine...just need cleaning. Back seats have hardly been used.

Big Lots is good for finding cheap seat covers that are decent looking. You should be able to spruce it up on the cheap.

you guys take the bait every time ::)
You are proven wrong!!! He made it happen!!
I am now a believer of vince power!!!
I think it's best to lease cars for 2-3 years. One of the few joys in life when you reach a certain age is a new car. If you have 2 cars on lease you can work it out so you're getting a new one every year or so. You also avoid having to deal with repairs when things start to wear out and the embarrassment of driving around in an old POSAll that money goes down the toilet though and you have jack shit to show for it. :-\
I hope this works out for you. Junkers that cost what you paid are rarely a good deal. You do realize that jeep you bought is over 30 years old. What's the usual lifespan of an automobile? Like I said, I wish you well with your purchase.No such thing as "lifespan of a car". I used to drive a 1959 Cadillac as a daily driver. If you take care of a car, it will outlive you. Unless you buy plastic Mazdas that look like Micro-Penises with wheels.
i kind of have a hard time believing he would spend 1200 on anything let alone a second vehicle. i think if this was bought , it was by whomever he went with. you got to remember he tells half truths.
i don't think he would buy a second vehicle. even at such a low cost. he has 1 parking spot at his apartment complex.

a beat up car from 95...good luck with that lol... You're better off leasing shitty but new prius. That car you have there will be a headacheActually, it won't be at all. Its a solid car with a solid engine. One of the best cars Chrysler has ever produced and certainly better than what most manufacturers make today.
In my yonger years I owned older cars thinking I would save a penny by fixing things myself. But then I owned myself by spending hours fixing those things. Time = Money

Owned yourself fixing things? You think learning how to actually do something, a skill, is a waste? Strange. No wonder why everyone is so helpless these days.
Furthermore, leasing is what a certain group of people like to do and now its seems its trickled over to people like you even. Sad! All those payments with nothing to show for it. Do you tell people that its your car? Its not. Leasing is more embarrassing than actually owning a cheap car. At least to me it is anyways.

No they don't.OK pedant, you get the odd classic that will retain some value and even some rarities that are priceless as they are the only one in existence.

I'm sure we all can agree it doesn't matter how old or beat up a car is, if it runs someone will drive it and if it's for sale someone will buy it.

That's life. I will make more if I have to. I lease luxury cars (usually BMW although I also have an Audi now). Acquiring things, getting ahead, making money ... these things give meaning to my life. I don't understand how people get any joy out of being miserly and living risk-free lives. To each his own though
Depends on how big the risk is. Calculated risk is okay. Haphazard risk is not.Might as well start robbing banks if we follow "Olympiagym's" logic. To each his own though. ::)

When you lease you are the registered "owner" although title remains in the hands of the financing company.
So you pay a dealer about 7200 bucks over two years just for the privilege of driving around a car even more gay than me? Awesome ::)
ROFLMAO!!!!!

No, you are registered with the DMV. You never actually own it.
When you buy a car, after it is paid for, you get the title. Then you have something you can turn around and sell and perhaps have some value in.
Leasing never does that. I find leasing cars only valuable if you are the type of person who never pays off anything in the first place. If you are always wanting the next new car, then it's fine.
If you are not that type, it is pointless.

OMFFG,
His logic: "Uhhh, well I can run over someone in my car, be charged with it, so therefore I own the car".
What the actual fuck is that? ???
ROFLMAO!
New Audis and BMW are some of the WORST cars currently produced. Pure garbage actually and have THE LOWEST value after one year. Its pathetic really how shit they are.
All you gotta do is wait 3 years and OlympiaGym Audi can be had for 7200 dollars or less. The price he wasted and does not even own the car. Its hilarious really.
That's not what I said dumb ass.Why are you taking your own financial decision so personal?
What's it like having zero accomplishments in life? We all know your real name and googling it brings up nothing worthwhile. u didn't even attend one of the good schools in north Carolina
Why are you taking your own financial decision so personal?
You were trying to bag on Vince for buying a car outright, which is about the most fiscally conservative thing one can do, as well as environmentally responsible. No reason to throw away perfectly usable cars at all. Cars that were better built than the garbage leases today that do nothing but cause inflation due to lack of ownership.
San Francisco is a good example of this. You pay an arm and a leg to live like a termite in a box that you don't even own because nobody owns anything and the price is inflated as a result. Its disgusting and not sustainable in the long run, unless you enjoy being a termite or a transient I suppose.
Anyways, why are you arguing in this manner? You were trying to brag about leasing. I just don't think its something to brag about really.
Leasing these days is so affordable, that anyone can just about lease a car.Yep and it ruins it for people who would rather own because it drives inflation through the roof.
Actually, if you run someone over with your leased car the law considers you the "owner." Federal law protects the leasing companies from liability. Of course you can't sell a leased or financed car I assumed that was understood but I see you take things very literally
lmao TA if you have an income above avg leasing a car isn't a big "financial decision" ::)

OlympiaGym will probably try to preach to you now about "fiscal responsibility" and how to save conservatively. Oh brother, what a hypocrite. ::)
Whenever I see someone, (who obviously does not own the car they pretend in) I laugh. Youtube morons are filled with it. You have some of them "leasing" Lamborghinis even. ALL of their money going to a 1 or 2 year lease, fronting and pretending. Its hilarious.
It also inflates the price of the car for a REAL buyer who wants to actually OWN the thing. Pathetic! These people have ruined society and caused runaway inflation big time. Practices like this make for a throwaway society instead of a fiscally conservative savings society.
Look at OlympiasGym. His response was, "I will just make more money", "Acquiring Things" driving LEASED cars give him meaning in life. Sad!
Big hat, no cattle. They ruin it all for the rest of us. Inflation sucks.
Ownership is a literal thing.
You NEVER own a leased car.
I own my car because I paid for it. So yes. It's a literal statement.
You aren't the owner. You are the authorized driver. They are not the same.
21 years old.
I use them as daily drivers.Thanks to your parents hard work.
No, you are registered with the DMV. You never actually own it.But I will never drive a car that is older than 2 years, you buy a car and you could be stuck with a heap of shit.

Cut him some slack, he's senile. ;D
If you run someone over with your leased car you will be deemed the "owner" for purposes of a civil suit. Federal law protects the leasing companies from liability. Society is a little more sophisticated than you might imagineIn the UK the DVLA holds the details of the "registered keeper" of vehicles, thats the person responsible for its usage on public roads.
You're not good at math are you?? The engine and the transmission by itself in the jeep is worth about 600 bucks more than I paid for it as they are brand new. I can part it out and make money if I wanted to.
There is a risk at purchasing at the auction but more benefits. The vehicle is paid for. I added it to my insurance policy which added just an additional 55.00 dollars to my 6 month policy....less than 10 bucks a month because I don't need collision with making payments on a vehicle. In addition, its a Jeep Cherokee Sport, so you can drive anywhere with it...in the woods, hills, etc so there are people that will buy it for hunting season.
Best of all, it makes an epic thread on Getbig. I normally would not have purchased this vehicle, usually I get cars like Hondas and Toyotas because I can buy them for about 200 and sell them for a quick turnaround. But if I didn't buy anything, it would have ruined my thread.
It appears that you made this decision carefully and that you are happy with the purchase. That's all that counts when all is said and done.Prime, managing to actually polish a turd of a thread.
I thought I was proficient in math until I tried to make you Jeep 10 years older than it is. :-[
Yes, this tread is epic, much like most all of your threads. Keep up the good work.
But I will never drive a car that is older than 2 years, you buy a car and you could be stuck with a heap of shit.Another reason why build quality and quality control will continue to degrade and suck. They know people will line up for leases, so why bother making quality anymore? Just design it cheap to be replaced with cheap parts so the temporary driver can chuck the keys whenever something goes wrong (you are expecting it anyways).
Even buying a car outright if something goes wrong, sure a new car has a warranty but the will kick and scream and try and offload the cost to you if something goes wrong
Mine goes wrong, they dispute anything, I chuck them the keys and walk.
No such thing as "lifespan of a car". I used to drive a 1959 Cadillac as a daily driver. If you take care of a car, it will outlive you. Unless you buy plastic Mazdas that look like Micro-Penises with wheels.
In the UK the DVLA holds the details of the "registered keeper" of vehicles, thats the person responsible for its usage on public roads.I read that the UK is in bad shape as their society is changing. You guys should be outraged actually. Read this just the other day:
The owner of the vehicle doesnt have to be the registered keeper, proof of ownership of a vehicle is a bill of sale not the log book.
The DVLA dont give a fuck who owns vehicles.
I lease a car, I pay a monthly fee for 2 years then take it back and change it for a new one, trouble free motoring, its not my car, so what, im glad its not, any repairs all done under warranty
As for nothing to show for it, so what, all cars depreciate to zero eventually.

Same thing happening with housing and everything else. Standards are dropping, people don't have pride in ownership of anything anymore so why bother to build anything of quality? Society will get what it deserves.
Even assuming what you say is true, so what? Auto companies are in the business of making money, that is their only objective. It's survival of the fittest. That's why the tax payers bailed out the big dogs in 2008 (TARP). You can either be a have or a have not
this.
I actually respect Vince for being tighter with his money than a Jewish grandmother from Scotland
Pokemon and Iphones are all that matters to young people these days. Imagine what that will progress into and how bad its gonna get. :-\
When you lease you are the registered "owner" although title remains in the hands of the financing company.
this.Being tight with Money doesn't mean much when you earn just enough to get by :D

There are a few downsides to leasing. Whether it is better to lease or buy depends on a variety of things.Looks like they don't advocate leasing. From the article:
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/12/buying-vs-leasing-basics/index.htm (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/12/buying-vs-leasing-basics/index.htm)

What's the value of being the registered owner? The lessor has conditions lessee must adhere to or pay extra. Most lease contracts limit the mileage. You pay for any repairs that exceed normal wear and tear.
No, you are registered with the DMV. You never actually own it.
When you buy a car, after it is paid for, you get the title. Then you have something you can turn around and sell and perhaps have some value in.
Leasing never does that. I find leasing cars only valuable if you are the type of person who never pays off anything in the first place. If you are always wanting the next new car, then it's fine.
If you are not that type, it is pointless.
The way you are going about it, seems to be in the have not, but want it now category. :-\ Are you now arguing against yourself? ???
Actually, if you run someone over with your leased car the law considers you the "owner." Federal law protects the leasing companies from liability. Of course you can't sell a leased or financed car I assumed that was understood but I see you take things very literally
The fact of the matter is this:
If someone has the money to buy, they buy. Most wealthy people dont lease cars. The same people who lease cars are the same people who would buy the car outright if they won the lottery.
Being tight with Money doesn't mean much when you earn just enough to get by :D
rat race living :-\
Mostly wealthy people I know lease their cars. A car is not an asset. It is an expense.
Leasing these days is so affordable, that anyone can just about lease a car.
You have no idea what I have. Leasing 2 cars for me is a negligible expense that's well worth it given the satisfaction that I derive from driving them, which is only on the weekends since I do not really drive during the weekHAHAHA even better.
If you run someone over with your leased car you will be deemed the "owner" for purposes of a civil suit. Federal law protects the leasing companies from liability. Society is a little more sophisticated than you might imagine
You are splitting hairs over the word 'owner'. Nobody is buying this.Literally.
You have no idea what I have. Leasing 2 cars for me is a negligible expense that's well worth it given the satisfaction that I derive from driving them, which is only on the weekends since I do not really drive during the week
I read a story about Steve Jobs leasing a new car every 30 days for the sole reason of never having to put a license plate on his car. lol

Here's the thing, you are using this thread to brag. Nobody here gives a shit about what you can or cannot afford. You drive these cars to impress strangers.
HAHAHA even better.
Leasing a Dindu mobile to drive "on the weekends". Most people would buy the car that they "only drive on the weekends". You have it all backwards. Literally throwing money down the toilet. Who the hell told you to do this? ??? The good thing about a lease (not that there really is anything good) is that you can drive the car whenever and don't have to worry about mileage (as long as you are under your limit LOLOL), yet you are treating it as if you actually own the car.
I suspect you walked in the dealership, they sat you down, shocked you with the 300 dollar payment a month to get you in a new BMW and you salivated at the thought.
That depends. If you own this car,it is an asset.not a valid point for this thread

Deep Fried.
Depends though which vegetable and what you want. Which vegetable?
Every 6 months it seems. Odd loophole in CA law that someone with a new car had a maximum of six months to affix the issued number plate to the vehicle.
But I will never drive a car that is older than 2 years, you buy a car and you could be stuck with a heap of shit.

An all-time high 31 percent of new vehicles financed in the first quarter were leased.
The average new auto loan also reached a record high $29,551 and the average length is 67 months. Among subprime borrowers, the average new-car loan is for 72 months.
Top leased brands:
BMW (70% Leased)
Land Rover (68% Leased)
Mercedes-Benz (67% Leased)
Audi (64% Leased)
That is correct. DMV paperwork takes a long time, so if you have a new car every 6 months, you never get a plate.
This is interesting information. I paid right around $30,000 for the compact Mazda CX3 I recently purchased. 75% of the purchase price is financed because the interest rate my credit union offered me was 1.67% for 60 months. I did consider leasing it because it's likely the car will outlive me. I generally keep a car for around 10 years.
Where I live there are a lot of the vehicles you mentioned. I suspect some of them are leased. Lately, I noticed quite a few Tesla's on the road and in parking lots nearby. Can they be leased?
We live in a time where there is a strong 'throwaway' mentality. If someone plans to keep a vehicle for only a year or two, leasing might be a good option.
Many a wife will lament Vince's sack and pingón steering of their husbands in the back seat of this sweet ride.
Homewrecking Cherokee of Peace!
They can be leased yes.
Nope, it was a 3 second decision. That's a car auction, think too much and it's already sold....same way the stock market works.
This has surprising turned into one of Vince's better threads. No thanks to him though. Credit to TA, SF and Prime for saving this one.
Think about this. Driver-less vehicles are coming soon. This is bound to take all the fun out of owning a car.
God, I wish this stupid senile fuck would just die...
I'm happy you got a good deal Vince but calm down, you got the car for under $1200, obviously there wasn't a huge demand for it that a 30 second breather would have left you vehicleless.
You're funny though.
The feeling is mutual. It's not often I encounter someone as repugnant as you.
Car Auctions are for profit..that's where used car dealers go to get their stuff. There's always a fight for a vehicle that can make money. So yes, I did have to fight for this
That wasn't a dealers auction. If it was, you would need a dealers license to get in. You might want to consider getting a whole sale dealers license. They're easy to get and it would allow you to go to the better auctions. Most states allow anyone to sell four cars a year.

Home ownership in England at lowest level in 30 years as housing crisis grows
Calls for government to build more homes as growing gap between earnings and house prices sees ownership fall across the country and people forced to rent

Home ownership in England has fallen to its lowest level in 30 years as the growing gap between earnings and property prices has created a housing crisis that extends beyond London to cities including Manchester.
The struggle to get on the housing ladder is not just a feature of the London property market, according to a new report by the Resolution Foundation thinktank, with Greater Manchester seeing as big a slump in ownership since its peak in the early 2000s as parts of the capital, and cities in Yorkshire and the West Midlands also seeing sharp drops.
'Home ownership is unrealistic': five readers on England's housing crisis

Home ownership across England reached a peak in April 2003, when 71% of households owned their home, either outright or with a mortgage, but by February this year the figure had fallen to 64%, the Resolution Foundation said.
The figure is the lowest since 1986, when home ownership levels were on the way up, with a housing market boom fuelled by the deregulation of the mortgage industry and the introduction of the right-to-buy policy for council homes by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government.
The Resolution Foundation’s analysis highlights the scale of the job faced by the prime minister, Theresa May, who has pledged to tackle the housing deficit. May warned last month that unless the issue was dealt with “young people will find it even harder to afford their own home. The divide between those who inherit wealth and those who don’t will become more pronounced. And more and more of the country’s money will go into expensive housing.”
The report, based on analysis of the latest Labour Force Survey, showed that in early 2016 only 58% of households in Greater Manchester were homeowners, compared with a peak of 72% in 2003. In outer London, the peak in ownership came earlier, in 2000, but the fall was also from 72% then to 58% in February. The West Midlands and Yorkshire have also seen double-digit drops, driven by declines in Sheffield and Leeds.
Stephen Clarke, policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said: “London has a well-known and fully blown housing crisis but the struggle to buy a home is just as big a problem in cities across the north of England.”
The stories you need to read, in one handy email

In the early years of the millennium, homeownership levels rose as buyers able to take out mortgages with no deposit scrambled to get on the ladder before prices became unaffordable. At that point the average cost of a UK property was £122,748 and growing at a rate of 20% a year, according to Nationwide Building Society, and banks and building societies were keen to lend.
But numbers started to drop as properties became less affordable and the downward trend continued as the housing market crashed after the credit crunch in 2008. The return of mortgages for borrowers with small deposits has brought first-time buyers back to the market, but the analysis underlines how great the struggle is to meet today’s new high house prices. According to Nationwide, the UK average had risen to £196,930 in February – a 60% increase in 13 years.
Lindsay Judge, an expert on housing at the thinktank, said the problem was one of affordability. “House prices began to outpace earnings in the early 2000s,” Judge said. “When the market fell so did earnings – house prices began to come down but so did people’s pay, or it was stagnating at best, so few people were able to make the most of falling prices.”
The analysis showed that across England levels of private renting almost doubled from 11% in 2003 to 19% in 2015, while in Greater Manchester the figure more than trebled, from 6% to 20%.
The Resolution Foundation said this shift in tenure could mean problems in the future, as individuals would need to find a way of funding their housing in retirement, or may need to turn to the benefits system for help. Clarke said: “The shift to renting privately can reduce current living standards and future wealth, with implications for individuals and the state. We cannot allow other cities to edge towards the kind of housing crisis that London has been saddled with.”
Anne Baxendale, head of policy and public affairs at the housing charity Shelter, said house prices were now “completely out of step with average wages”.
She added: “Sky-high rents are leaving many families struggling to make ends meet each month, let alone save up enough for the deposit on a home. Far from being the stepping stone it once was, many young people and families are now facing a lifetime stuck in expensive and unstable private renting.
“The new government has a real chance to give hope back to these families by tackling the root cause of the housing crisis and building genuinely affordable homes that people on ordinary incomes can actually afford to rent or buy.”
Dan Wilson-Craw, policy manager at the campaign group Generation Rent, said saving up for a deposit was becoming harder for would-be homeowners, especially those in insecure work. “Renting in the private sector is the only option for many, and 12-month contracts mean their homes are insecure too,” he said. “Everyone needs a stable home, whether or not they can afford to buy, so the government must look at reforming tenancy law.”
Grahame Morris, Labour’s shadow secretary of state for communities, said the research showed the government had failed to deliver on its promise to build homes. “Building more homes is part of the solution that involves increasing the housing mix we need to deal with the chronic housing crisis we face today,” he said. “The report highlights that we have the lowest level of new builds for generations. At the same time more and more people are being forced into the private rented sector, paying higher rents with little protection from unscrupulous landlords.”
The Department for Communities and Local Government said more than 300,000 people had been helped into homeownership through government-backed schemes since 2010.
“On top of this, latest figures show that for the first time in 20 years, first-time buyers have borrowed more than home movers,” a spokesman said. “However, we know there is more to do, which is why we’ve set out the most ambitious vision for housing in a generation, including delivering hundreds of thousands of homes exclusively for first-time buyers.”
Whitey's isn't in the same league as Manheim.

Real dealers auctions have row upon row of three year old luxury cars just off lease.
Didn't know they were global. That's where I got my backhoe and screw compressor, which I'm happy with.
They're the only auctioneer I know that haggles with the winner every time tho. Every single time. I've offered $50 for stuff that has gone unsold over several auctions and would be decent for projects/ workshop stock, no other bids, zero interest, and they've come back saying the vendor wants $800 but might take $600, etc. ::) I'm not your fish. I'll give you the $50 which is more than anyone else has offered in the last 3 months. "We'll get back to you, ok?" No. I'm here now. It's either going on the truck or it's not. It's crap that no one cares about. I don't care enough to give you more than $50. I'm not making another trip for it. U want it out of your yard or not?
They sold 7 million cars last year at 122 locations.
What do you use the equipment you bought for? I'm assuming you have a construction business.
It's interesting that you expend so much time expressing your feelings about me. It boarders on an obsession. Just so you know, you are nothing more than a speck in my universe.

Door panels are in, the windows were modified to be electric so I cleaned that up. Gorilla tape is on the armrest console until I get a cover for it. Vehicle is cleaned, put on Armor-All and cleaned the dashboard. Have to wait on the headliner but the vehicle looks a hell of a lot better. Got to do some rewiring as I'm putting in some electronics I have lying around from another project
I'll be picking up the Jeep tomorrow from the shop. Had to have the entire ignition assembly replaced along with getting refilling the air conditioner with freon. Next, I'll be working on the interior by replacing the armrest console leather, putting in a new headliner, and getting it nice and clean.i hope a mouse builds a nest in your engine and destroys you piece of shit new car
Vince when you had the windows wired did you have switches on each door or just a single toggle in the center console?
Its a single toggle on the center console. I wish the previous owner just left the windows hand cranks on the front. No reason whatsoever for the modification. I am going to install a bluetooth diagnostic box that will be monitored by my android tablet. I have an aftermarket stereo system in it with a USB port but I need to check it for bluetooth today or find a solution for it so I can play Pandora while I'm driving.
Interior is almost done. Took a few hours to clean all that grime from the seats and floor
Idk what that is, if you have a USB port wouldn't you also have an auxiliary jack?For music that's better than Bluetooth.

North Carolina is easy on smog certs, too, I think. They don't hook up to anything but the OBD and some counties don't even require that afaik.
States like NC end up with all the used cars from strict states. In a strict state, number one reason for people failing to keep their shit on the road is emissions testing. So the sharks set upon them, get them currently registered by way of a scam smog-shop, and then the car can be turned over somewhere with easier requirements.
Just like Texas is (or was) the place to clear a title from a car that had been salvaged etc.
Not saying that's what's up with your vehicle, Vince, but just generally.
I have a clean title, not a salvage one. It also passes emissions tests although I wouldn't stand behind it when I start the engine as a 4.0L is a beast when it cranks.....like a lion roaring to let you know who's king of the jungle. I like having these components in vehicles because it allows me to better maintain them and they are dirt cheap to get from China
the Chinese EBay auto parts are obviously not the same quality as the original ones. Check superspeedersrob's channel on YouTube.
Brake fluid usually feeds the calipers. If he accidentally hooked the brake lines up to the rotors that may have contributed to the problem.

I love machinery auctions but my impression is that in the US you'd do better with a private sale when it comes to vehicles. Possibly. Either way, do some googling V. Acquaint yourself with how to assess viability. Owning used vehicles means being at least 1/2 a mechanic. If you don't like greasy fingers then you're better off paying for the guarantee and known history of a new car. Mechanics fees, tows, and lost income from downtime will add up fast if you buy someone else's problem. There's probably no test driving but I wouldn't buy anything if they won't let you crawl around on it and under it, start it, and put each gear under power for a couple inches.
Imo you shouldn't buy anything, no matter how good a deal you think it is, until you've attended and quietly observed a few of these shindigs. I'd gravitate toward things I can work on - a minimum of computerization and a manual transmission. I can't be too clear here - you're gonna work on it, which means tools and time, or you're gonna pay someone to work on it.
Ugly & strong is what you want. People fling money at complete lemons if the paint is nice. Fresh paint is a red flag. I've seen trucks with freshly painted undersides that clearly came from salt country. Vendors will pull some dirty shit. Fleet/ government vehicles are good to look at since they're often swapped out at an age/mileage limit and come from a regular maintenance regiment, but there ought to be a fleet of them there at similar age - not just 1. Individuals rarely undertake preventative maintenance at recommended intervals so maintenance logs are nice but rare, and perhaps not entirely to be trusted. Badging means nothing. Bling is the enemy. You'll see bidding wars for a mercedes or jaguar with a mahogany dash and fucked engine when the rock-bottom model ford with a scratch that got clockwork oil changes can be had with minimal competition.
Those are quality wisdoms, whippersnapper.I feel like I may have a Tapeworm. How can I still have a hint of abs at my weight. Genetics? Naturally good looks?
What the fuck is all this? You're answering a question no one asked and it. Are you turning in to Vince Basile??
Important update for everyone. Recently, I was running a check when I noticed leaking...smelled it and turned out to be fluid. Took it to a shop and it turns out that the previous owner just did pad swaps without any concerns for the rotors attached.....also they were some of the cheapest Chinese chop suey bonzai kung pow pads ever....no wonder the dude was changing them. Must have been attributing it to off-roading.
Exactly...also replaced the calipers...pretty much almost the entire braking system since they were down there.
How could someone hook up brake lines to rotors? That is impossible.
Vince something is fishy here.
Those are quality wisdoms, whippersnapper.
Dave, do you think they were trying to take Vince out?
I mean, Vince is a fitness industry insider. Who knows what secrets he harbors about the fitness industry.
Somebody could have wanted to make an example of him.
Based on this I think someone may have tried to kill Vince.
Owner financing? ???
How did you convince the bank you weren't black?
How did you convince the bank you weren't black?

The thread title suggests you came up with an alternative housing idea. What is it?
No never answered my question regarding the mobile home you were buying a couple years back. Did that deal fall through?
Man 188k? I wish a decent home was that cheap.
Congrats on the home ownership.
I stand corrected. The South, man. Where your money goes a long way. A very nice house. And if not a a stigmatized property, a very good buy.

I don't understand how it's so cheap. Even builder grade houses cost at least $70 square foot to build. $182,000 for 2,600 square feet? ???
Thanks but the pricing is going to be around 57k. Clayton Blazer Extreme with some additional options. Nice 10 foot ceilings, 3 bedroom 2 bath singlewide. Take a tour. 2600 sq ft is too much house for one person
https://www.claytonhomes.com/homes/22BRX16764AH
$188 thousand is fuck all for a home.
My friend paid $650 grand for a small bungalow which is now worth $800 plus grand here in toronto
since you like to use the word ni@2er I would guess that you are ni@2er rich Vince and have no fucking clue
but good luck on the purchase, Hopefully you can find another cross eyes queen to marry and take you for the hundreds you are worth down the road
That is about $60 a sq ft. You can bet every short cut allowed and some that aren't went in to building that home.
Damn son. A tad harsh?
I went on the 3D tour and now have 2 questions:
The toilet is blurred out, is that because there is a turd in there?
Which bedroom does SF1900 get?

Nelson he doesn't live in Toronto so or NYC where that "bungalow" could be in the millions (for a loft). What's your point?[/b]
Home prices vary greatly all over the US so do some research because this is not a good troll. :D

simple because vince comes on , brags and complains about somthing that is not a real issue where he is from ie is he fucking that stupid when he gets a house that cheap?

Years ago home ownership was thought to be an always great thing. And for you it may make financial sense. Today it is viewed often not as an asset but an expense. I've owned several houses and managed to make money of the sale of them although I got very lucky buying just after the bubble burst around 2008 for the last one. Many of my friends and coworkers got caught in a bad place. I sold my last house in 2015 and will likely rent from now on. It gives me the option of moving around when I want (retired) and I don't have to repair anything. But if your income is stable, you plan on staying put for several years it could be a good decision depending on if you got a good value with equity upfront
Vince Goodrum, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, can I move in with you?
Renting is better than owning a home when the housing market values keep rising and rising, and the rent keeps rising and rising? gtfoh lol
I can't even....Yeah you can’t because there’s no logic behind anything you’re saying. What are you possibly damaging that costs that much per month?
Yeah you can’t because there’s no logic behind anything you’re saying. What are you possibly damaging that costs that much per month?
No logic? I said buying a house works for some. If you plan on staying in place, you have a steady income, you buy with equity in the home, the location is not a war zone, it can be a good investment. what part of that statement do you disagree with? ON the other hand, the market is not as solid as it once was thought to be, there are some who say the housing market in many areas now is a bubble and over valued, if you sell before 2 years it is capital gains taxed and fees can eat up much of the profit. Now what part of that don't you agree with? and then.. lets talk trailer house/Modular home... Notorious for depreciation, rarely if ever does one get what they paid for a mobile/manufactured home when they buy new and sell. What part of that do you disagree with?
I'll be Toronto renting and putting 50k in stocks each year until retirement to a nice cheap place like Peterborough. The Toronto market is insane. 1 million dollars for a cheap 1950's bungalow. If you can get good cheap housing, go for it Vince.
"Today it is viewed often not as an asset but an expense."
I disagree with this wholeheartedly. It's an extreme asset for a ton of reasons. Even now full ownership is an asset for sure. Being on the side of renting for strictly financial reasons, is worse than ownership a home. Buying a home strictly as an investment? Probably not the best but at the end of the day, your reasons are for being able to travel, being older etc. rather than what the best financial route for property is. So what works your you is not the indefinite answer.
Please list how it's an expense more than an asset for that statement?
If you have a house that you rent out to tenants, then it’s an asset. If you have a house, paid for or not, that you live in, then it can’t be an asset. Instead of putting money in your pocket, it takes money out of your pocket. That is the simple definition of a liability.
Rich Dad Scam #6: Your House is an Asset
Is Your House An Asset Or A Liability?
Over the last few years, many Americans found out that owning a big house was more like living the American nightmare, not the American dream. What got most people into trouble was they failed to realize that, on balance, a house is a liability, not an asset.
Now you might be thinking I'm exaggerating to make a point. But I'm not. On balance, a house is something you constantly pump money into, and for the most part, won't get out of it what you've invested in it. That sounds like a liability to me, not an asset. So before you buy your next house, you should ask yourself "what's it going to cost me," as opposed to "how much can I make off of it." That will help you keep your housing costs in line with your income.
I know most people have been led to believe that a house is an asset, which is why so many thought they should buy a huge home. The bigger the home, the bigger the asset. But it's not so. Think about this: assume you buy a home and don't put a dime into it for 30 years. You don't paint it, repair it, or update it. You just let it sit there. How much do you think that home will be worth at the end of 30 years? Not much."
You sir are living in the 80's..but hey, don't listen to me, I retired at 6 figures at 53, what do I know?
How will it not be worth much? This is what i don't understand. The prices of houses continue to go up and up. A house you bought in the early 90's in LA for less than 500k, is worth over a million now. Certainly there was inflation, but not NEAR the extent to come even close to only breaking even.
So you're saying buying multiple condos for cheaper, and renting them out, is more financially rewarding as it serves for a constant income? I can agree with that.
For you to be 53 without owning property i would hardly call that somebody i would want to listen to no offense.
I'm not Getbig wealthy by any standards, but I'm doing ok
;D ;D
[/b]
simple because vince comes on , brags and complains about somthing that is not a real issue where he is from ie is he fucking that stupid when he gets a house that cheap?
Yes, I'm going to come along and brag about a 56k mobile home if you learn how to read and click on likes.....lol.
BTW, I don't give a fuck about your retarded friend's bungalow or his bunghole. I don't want to live in Toronto or NYC for the same reason I do not live in my hometown of Asheville. The cost of housing and rent is insane for what you get which usually amounts to a dirty ass studio apartment. But enjoy your sardine can you live in.....lol
188K?? Nice and cheap, good.Where do you live? I would imagine NYC area or San Francisco/ southern California? My house is around 400K in south Jersey and I have nearly 3000 sq feet not including a basement that has a 9 foot ceiling and is nearly 1500 sq feet. In ground pool in the back. The master bedroom can fit three king size beds. A friend of mine has the same house I have according to his plans and it's worth 1.5 million in north Jersey. All real estate value depends on location.
My 400K house has been paid off for many years,and it is a shoe box compared to what many have around here.
In this area, 400K gets you not much.
Good for you Vince, you deserve any good thing that comes your way.
Why do people get so offended by Goodrums life decisions? Lol. Vince makes a post, and people get all bent out of shape because he purchased a car, home, or starts a new business, etc. Damn, who cares.
Good for you, Vince.
188k for a house?? And it doesn't come in a box I have to build myself? Sign me up. Cash discount? I spent almost 1/2 that on heroin in 2015. Ill rent it out to low-income/govt housing for 3500/month... Each, to 2 Mexican families.

haha now this was funny
I played only the audio part of my Youtube videos.... ;D
you keep writing that like its some kind of achievement to be proud of....
Damn son. A tad harsh?
So today Getbiggers I went in and put my down payment on my new home along with purchasing a half acre of property in a very nice area of Greenville. More to come
That’s a down payment here
That’s a down payment here
I don't know why everyone keeps saying that its a cheap home because its only 188K.
My friend purchased a 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home in Wisconsin for 225K
not Sure of your build costs over there but over here something similar size could be built in traditional construction for less if you managed it yourself and would hold/appreciate value more? Do you have services (water/gas/electrics/sewer) on site presently?
Where I’m from you are lucky to get a 3 bedroom 2 bath for 350-400 minimum.So 188 or 225 is extremely cheap for the size you are getting here.i could be in a mansion down south for what I paid for my current townhouse.Its fucked up here in the northeast price wise and tax wise.
I played only the audio part of my Youtube videos.... ;D
The property has city water and sewer hookups. The biggest influence of getting a Clayton singlewide mobile home is essentially pricing and the housing market. Simply put, owning a home is no longer a great investment as it used to be and the majority of people are underwater with their homes in addition to needing major repairs. Houses are at this point a waste of money unless you make a full cash purchase. Rent is skyrocketing along with required fees.
While I can afford and got approved for a 200k home, I simply would have been working myself to death and my quality of life would have been severely diminished. A mobile home is less expensive because its a organized and consistent design built in a controlled environment that is not affected by weather. Its also a very bland product and while I'm able to pick a few custom options like the color of my carpet, you don't get a choice in the setup or design.
The thing that matters to me is to not only own a quality home but to not diminish my quality of life. Spending 56k for a singlewide mobile home allows me to get a high quality product and not bust the cash register.....and since I own the land, its going to allow me to put even more money away.
I completely agree with your logic and follow a similar approach myself regarding acquiring my home as cheaply as possible, I have mates who have big mortgages and who have lost money buying overpriced new builds
over here they call those double width mobile homes “lodges” and sell some of them for more than you can get a detached 4 bed house for where I live, nowadays with galavanised frames and plastic cladding they look great for many years longer than they once did.
Sounds ideal what your getting vince congrats
so what did you buy? a mobile home? and a lot? where? any pics of example of it
Yep....the home is not where the value is but the land under it to put whatever you wish there. I am going with a singlewide so I can have a larger yard for the dog but I'm going to have a very large deck with an outdoor hot tub. I figure since I sell patio furniture and hot tubs, I may as well use my supplies
Dreamed for a long while of buying land and building my own modest house as being a builder and doing a lot of the work myself would have worked out a lot cheaper than buying but long ago it became the case that if there was the slightest chance of planning permission to build being obtained the land would be sold for a premium, we aren’t even allowed to put a caravan/mobile home on land you own without permission our planning laws fucking suck.
Honestly sounds like a paradise with the large deck and hot tub all a bloke living alone ever needs grey to see it when it’s done

Haha Must be nice, by rights I can’t even fucking change my bathroom light fitting without notifying building control ffs
My house is under 2k SQF and I paid over 600k.
Sounds like you zeros live in an undesirable location.
Lol...where do you live mother fucker???
In a white neighborhood.
Vince, if you have a good piece of land you should make some kid of garage building and have a giant home gym.
that way when I come visit we could workout then sit in the hot tub after and enjoy some of that that bee pollen and cayenne pepper infused homemade rootbeer you make.

That's the average house here in Greenville, South Carolina or anywhere in the upstate.
I'm now all set. Purchased the Clayton Eclipse 60 with an Energy Smart Package instead of the original one. 960 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
So here's the breakdown although I'll have it paid off entirely in 5 years:
Principal: 482.09
Taxes: 18.84
Homeowner's Insurance: 55.58
Total Monthly: 556.61
Total Amount of Loan $50,412
Interest Rate: 10.42%
Here's some pictures of the place. It will look exactly like this because I don't get a choice in colors or design.

You do realize that I'm black right??? Of course my interest rate is going to be high and that's actually pretty good since I expected around 14% interest. That's why I'm paying it off within 5 years.
I'm now all set. Purchased the Clayton Eclipse 60 with an Energy Smart Package instead of the original one. 960 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
So here's the breakdown although I'll have it paid off entirely in 5 years:
Principal: 482.09
Taxes: 18.84
Homeowner's Insurance: 55.58
Total Monthly: 556.61
Total Amount of Loan $50,412
Interest Rate: 10.42%

Are you going to pay down the mortgage monthly, or in a large lump sum at the end of five years? You will have to pay an extra 600 per month on the principal, to have it paid off in five years. ???
Both...make double payments and a lump sum at the end....I'll likely pay it off sooner with my business profits. I was going to put 15k down but I would have been under the 50k range. Instead I'll be putting down $2,750 and put the rest in the bank for now. In any event, 556.61 a month for a home is good. The amount also includes setup, delivery, and clearing the land.
Would you qualify for a shorter loan? You could save a lot if you went with a shorter note, and higher payments. Plus, your interest rate would be lower.

I appreciate the advice but I'm black, Twaddle. I got the best deal a hebrew could get. The advice you're giving is only suited for white people. I have near perfect credit and made 70k last year but a white person making minimum wage at Burger King who just got out of prison would still have a lower interest rate than me......lol :D
Something is off here
Your payment has to include Principal and Interest each month (I'm assuming you have an amortized loan)
To pay off 50,412 in 60 months at 10.42% your P&I payment would have to be ~ 1,082 per month
http://www.amortization-calc.com/ (http://www.amortization-calc.com/)
Do you own the land as well or just the dwelling?
BTW - if you really think you're being charged a higher rate solely due to the color of your skin then you should get yourself a lawyer (no joke). More likely you were charged a higher rate due to credit issue or if this is a mobile home then I would guess those rates are higher than mortgage rates (which are ~ 3.5 to 4% right now)
I own the land and the loan is meaningless as the overall amount will be paid quickly. Mobile homes do have higher interest rates. As far as calling a lawyer......meh. Better to have a flat interest rate than a fluctuating one...in addition to getting approved. One thing you need to consider is that Blacks get turned down more. I was only approved by 2 places and the other one was 13.5% interest and was not a flat rate.
It is what it is.

Straw Man already pointed this out.
To pay $50,412 at 10.43% you need to pay roughly 1080/month.

That's what I'm paying for my apartment now with all the additional fees. Its not a big deal.
Oh cool. I was a bit confused about it.
It looks really nice btw.
Thanks. Honestly, I will be able to save a lot of money by eliminating shit that I pay for at my apartment. I have to pay 50 a month for cable TV which I don't need...just internet and an antenna , I pay extra for yard care and pest control which I can do myself saving about 60 bucks, renter's insurance is a joke and that will be gone. Apartments are a complete ripoff at this point and you get absolutely no value out of it and buying a house for 200k is insane and any money issues that arise such as job loss or disability will surely cause a foreclosure.
This is a home that cost $50,000 Getbiggers and my monthly payment to maintain it is $556.41 although I'll be doubling payment and making a lump sum at the end. I can go out and flip burgers and still be able to afford it. Why should I go out and buy a home that I have to work to death just to maintain?? Too many people spend beyond their means and I'm not planning to do that.

Yep....the home is not where the value is but the land under it to put whatever you wish there. I am going with a singlewide so I can have a larger yard for the dog but I'm going to have a very large deck with an outdoor hot tub. I figure since I sell patio furniture and hot tubs, I may as well use my supplies

You do realize that I'm black right??? Of course my interest rate is going to be high and that's actually pretty good since I expected around 14% interest. That's why I'm paying it off within 5 years.
that "principal" payment would have to be Principal and Interest unless of course his interest rate is 0 (which it is not)
so if 482.09 is Principal and Interest and if the interest rate is 10.42% (still can't believe there isn't a better rate out there) then this represents a 23 year term (assuming it's a fully amortized payment)
Since Vince said he has a lump sum due at the end of the term we know the payment of 482.09 is not a fully amortized payment
Vince - do you have the disclosures from the lender.
They should have disclosed the term of the loan, lump sum payment at the and and the total cost of interest over the life of the loan
Although it's certainly a good deal to get your house paid off in 5 years you're paying 10%+ every year on the outstanding principal balance so depending on how long you actually have this debt you could be paying much more in total interest than the value of the house (not uncommon - assuming no appreciation)
Just for some perspective, If you had gotten a VA loan at 3.75% that same payment (482.09) would have financed a loan amount of ~ 104k.

I said I was going to pay it off early with a lump sum after a few years. So the 23 year rate doesn't matter. Im leaving the papers as is. I'd rather have flexibility in payments in the event something happens

Several years ago during the last financial crisis we urged Melvin to acquire one of those houses for almost free. He declined the suggestion.
Then he was going to live off the grid. Then buy a Jaguar.
Melvin boasted that he doesn't have a credit card. Guess his credit rating is low and now his interest rate is higher.
This dude doesn't think clearly and bullshits all day long.

Vince, we can solve this dilemma if I move in. We can split your mortgage.

We could have our very own getbig reality series!
Pick whichever bedroom you want....meet in the middle for meals. Where's the gym? Gotta have a gym! ;)
we are going to build an outside gym.
You fucking moron....those houses were shit
Who is the dope? Imagine what you could buy now if you owned that shit?
I have a couple of questions for you.
Why is the interest rate so high? Current rates on home mortgages are somewhere between 3 and 4 percent.
Less than $240 in annual taxes is crazy low. I imaging this does include tax on the land.
How do you figure you'll have this place paid for in 5 years when you're only paying a little over $500 a month and the interest rate exceeds that per month? You're "balloon payment" will be as much or more than you bought the place for. Do you plan on making extra principle payments?
The place looks pretty nice. It's a lot better than many people have. Too bad about not being able to upgrade.
Mobile homes have higher interest rates...also the amount of the loan is 50k....if it was over 200k then I could get 3%. Because I have a lot of money coming in next year from some investments I made, I could feasibly pay it off next year in one lump sum....but its better to go with a general loan in case I end up with some financial distress.
Its funny how everyone is yelling about the interest rate but is forgetting about the actual cost of the home itself. Its 50k for the home and I make about 70k a year. I'm not buying it for an investment, I'm buying it to reduce my cost of living, get homeowner credits, and put more money away in the bank.

Some of the things you stated about home ownership and apartment living are incorrect but that's irrelevant. I only bring it up because you seemed defensive from people attacking your decision and rather than just address their concerns comments you went "Buying a $200K home is stupid, living in an Apartment is stupid" which are overbroad generic statements that don't fit everyone. I could easily say "Buying a manufactured home is a bad investment" but while that can be true, it's not the case all the time. If you're happy with your purchase, and you have every right to be thats all that matters. From what you said, the land and trailer are $50K, A BMW X5 is $70K and people buy those everyday and they are NOT a good investment in almost every case. But people can afford it so what the hell. Looking forward to seeing it furnished
Okay, so maybe I don't get it. You seem to have come up with a way to beat the system. Vince, I really do wish the best with all you endeavor accomplish. Please forgive me for pointing out that the standards where you seek to find financial success, go against the grain of everything that has proven to work in the past. I'll admit that my experience with stapled together, manufactured homes is lacking. Maybe I could have made a killing in real estate had I'd known what you seem to know. What I do know, is that like the story of the Three Lilttle Pigs; if you build a house of straw, it will get blown down by the big bad wolf (or in your case a hunky bear). ;)
Have you considered that the reason the interest rate on these houses is so high is because they have no value now or ever? Mortgage lenders aren't as stupid as they might sometimes appear. Frankly, that you can even secure a loan on the cardboard shelter you aspire to, is somewhat amazing. As for the future, I sincerely hope you have money coming your way (or maybe not) since that cute little trailer you love is very unlikely to outlast the term of its mortgage.
In 2016 when I purchased a Mazda CX3, my bank offered me an interest rate of 1.3%. I paid a little under $30,000 for the car. What does this say about a 10.5 interest rate on a prefab home? Yes, my credit rating is well over 800 and banks clamor to have my business, but when all is said and done, the value of the product they are lending on is a big factor. Incidentally, considering depreciation and my old age, I might have been better off leasing the damn thing. We all make mistakes.
I like you. Maybe because of your ignorance in all things pertaining to financial investments, it is why I feel compelled to share my advice in these matters. The simple truth is that when something seems too good to be true, it is. Heck, maybe after 73 years hanging out in this world, I am actually senile and maybe you have the key to success. I wish you all the best.
I'm being serious here. I have no reason to wish you anything but the best. I wish the truth wasn't the so obvious truth in these matters....and will allow for the fact that anything is possible.
I think you have been sold a bill of goods. I don't believe this will turn out to be what you expect. It sickens me that the oppression of the less affluent, educated, intelligent and marginalized folks is so easily acquired.
My best to you in all that you hope to achieve.
On a side note, my annual income is not a heck of a lot higher than yours. One of the reasons I am able to live as well as I do is because I mostly made wise real estate and retirement investments. I am a working class guy with a retirement income that is only a little be more than your income. Maybe I got lucky, maybe I'm a little more experienced than you. It is your choice to ignore what I've said. Like I said I honestly wish you every success.
Yes, your knowledge is lacking in mobile homes as a lot of things have changed in terms of constructiona and durability. They will last as long as any house because they are built the exact same way with the same materials. Of course I don't expect you to get things since your comments are pretty disrespectful towards me.
I'm glad that you can suck your own dick bragging about yourself.....if you're not too careful, you'll eventually choke on it.
Has everyone forgot how Caliber Fitness Solutions exploded onto the market? Billion dollar industry.
Goodrum, it is obvious that Basile and Primemuscle are trying to help you and give you friendly advice. I don't understand why you have to be so negative and aggressive towards them in this context. You are paying a high interest rate, that is a fact, and people are simply trying to find ways to help you out.
Basil and primemuscle have always been assholes to me...don't kid yourself
How about a 277 sq ft condo in Hawaii for $500-600K? It's efficiently designed for "smarter living.

Those extra units should help relieve the homeless problem here.
Basil and primemuscle have always been assholes to me...don't kid yourself
Vince, does your new home need a lot of repairs?
Its brand new.
Sweet. Then I guess you just have to furnish it.
I surmise you will be using much of your furniture from your apartment.
Won't have to do much as I already have furniture although I will get a queen size bed and install a Samsung Frame TV in the wall with recessed wiring. I want to have a space without any sight of electronics.....pre-TV era.
How you forget. I campaigned for your blue stars. I offered to train you. I offered to send you money when you sounded broke in Vegas. I urged you to move out of Sylva after your relationship ended....find a job in a bigger city. I suggested you grab one of those free properties. Trouble was you didn't have much of an income back then.
Now, please list the ways you tried to help me. Oh, I forgot, you set up a site in my name and when anyone clicked on it the home page of NAMBLA came up. Brilliant. You have proven over and over to be a despicable person without any guilt or even shame.
Apartments increase in price over the years and with all the extras, I'm already paying over 1000 dollars which steadily increases. However, purchasing a home for 200k is not feasible for me because it would be a drain on having to pay that much per month along with paying for empty spaces that I'd never use being a single person. Why do I need 2000 sq ft with 4 bedrooms??? For a person with a family, its a different situation where something like that is needed.
A mobile home is a better idea for me but I bought a high quality one....high ceilings, Energy Smart Package, double pane windows, maximum R level insulation, wood laminate flooring, etc. Its 2 bedrooms and enough space to meet my needs which is for a bedroom and my office. Its also one that can be updated as well without any trouble. Its the right choice for me and I feel that not only would I get my investment back but that I'll be free to enjoy life without having to worry about coming up with a high mortgage each month.
Buying anything is a dumb idea if you can't afford it or its something you don't need.
It's a rip off anyway you look at imo that's not worth $198,000 maybe $80 in Kansas or Arkansas
My friend purchased a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home in Wisconsin for 225k! House is damn big!
He only paid 27k more for a home.
Vince paid $60K not 188 so I don't see the connection
I believe it is actually a manufactured home. "Mobile Home" refers to homes built prior to 1976 when the HUD code governing building standards for factory-built homes was instituted, greatly improving quality standards. Used single wide manufactured and mobile homes tend to depreciate in value rather than increase in value. Unfortunately, this makes them not a good investment.
Interest Rate: 10.42%
:o WTF? Did you travel back in time to the 90s to get that mortgage rate?
Well, got another letter from another bank. .........looks like I qualify for a government first time buyer loan so I'm going to call Monday and see if I can inch down the interest rate.....not that it matters but definitely can't overlook it.
Of course it matters..well, it matters to those who are savvy on financial issues. Good, luck, hope that they come down into the ballpark of what is reasonable. Hell, I'm considering loaning you the money at 10%
Vince, in all seriousness, you need to look into an FHA loan.

Well, no because I'm going to pay it off in a few years and 50k for a home is not much....a couple of bitcoin.
Well, got another letter from another bank. .........looks like I qualify for a government first time buyer loan so I'm going to call Monday and see if I can inch down the interest rate.....not that it matters but definitely can't overlook it.
Its great if you can pay it off in a few years. But didn't you say you were getting a longer mortgage term because you wanted to have the cushion "in case" you hit financial issues? Well, why not shop an interest rate for the same reason? Settling for 10 plus percent because you think you will pay it off in a few years, you might as well get a 5 year loan at 2% if that's the case.
Exactly, plus a low interest rate means a lower monthly mortgage payment during those "few years" that Vince will be making payments. And a low monthly mortgage payment is a heck of a lot easier to handle if Vince were to hit financial issues, thus making it less difficult to avoid foreclosure.
Vince reminds me a lot of my son when it comes to financial decisions. I can offer suggestions but intimately, he knows more than I do and so he buys those cars from those road side "buy here finance here" car lots without having a professional examine it, or shopping interest rates, and I watch in silence as yet again he buys a lemon that drops a transmission in 3 months and he lets it go back.
Just out of curiosity, how old is your son?
33 going on 16 on occasion
LOL...he's lucky to have you. This is one of the many reasons why some people are poor, and why some poor people just get poorer. They make one poor choice/decision after another, and not for lack of good advice.

I remember you talking shit about my Jeep I bought from an auction for 975.00. Still running fine. Go remind yourself as to where you put your brain.
His numbers still aren't making sense to me ::) ??? Regardless, if he's going to make double monthly payments anyway, wouldn't it save a lot of $$ in the long run if he split that in half and made 2 payments a month?

Anything more than a 4% interest rate is pure robbery. They must be able to do better for you Vince.

We'll see, I'm checking with FHA and Wells Fargo but its not a make or break type situation as I still plan to pay it off early. However, I checked on the Samsung Frame TV and its high priced for what it is. I hope to get the price down but I need some other options from you fellow Getbiggers on a TV set

Well I checked with FHA and Lending Tree. They gave the interest rate of 4.5% from the lenders but the problem is that its for a 100-200k loan.....way more money than I need than to be stranded with and its pretty much what I expected. The amount I'm requesting isn't high enough.
Yeah, you posted this already. Did you forget, grandpa. :)

Now Melvin won't rest until he gets a lower interest rate! Guess that property is a pipe dream.
Would you consider lending money to Melvin?
If he can't pay you back, then you could consider it a charity to a needy man trying to survive in an urban environment with limited education and mental capacity.
I am sure he knows a lot of gay men via NAMBLA. A popular gay man should have no trouble finding a partner to invest in a dwelling. He will then need $100,000....interest rate problem solved.
Ok. So back to the issue at hand - the interest rate. Any Getbigger could walk into a dealership and buy a new $50K car for ~4% for 60 months. That $50K car will end up costing over $55K. This isn't all that different. He is looking at over $13K in interest on something that has, or should have, a lesser depreciation rate than a car, right ??? Regardless, he's gonna be paying thousands in interest on something that will be worth significantly less when it's all said and done.
I pegged you for being above this... I must be slipping in my old age

We have already solved Vince's problem.
I am moving in with Vince and splitting everything. This will help him out.
I used to think you had a brain. Even joking about this is pathetic. Notice Goodrum ignores all your attention.
Why? Many people get roommates to help pay bills. It's actually very common in the US.

100k @ 3.875% (on a VA loan) gives you a monthly payment of $ 470.23
50k @ 10.42% (on that shit loan you were offered) gives you a monthly payment of $ 454.38
Aren't you making something like 60k a year in your IT job or whatever it is you do (I can't recall) ?
Forget about trying to find something "cheap"
Try finding something that is a value and a real house that will last and actually appreciate in value and not some glorified mobile home
Even better, go find a duplex or tri-plex and rent out the other units (not sure if VA will allow a tri-plex but I think FHA will)

8.5% interest for the home....final. That's the lowest I can get on a 50k loan. I did make some changes on design for the TV. As much as I like the Samsung Frame, it is simply not a good value for what its being charged and the artwork novelty will wear off....so I will keep my present TV at home.
I do need to figure out a stereo system. I did get ahold of a Bose Lifestyle 5 system and speakers but I'm going to search around for some other products. I want to have the most crisp sound in the house

That payment doesn't include PITI. With that added in he's looking at right around $900-1000.00 which is still a great payment. A quick calculation of what he can (or anyone) technically afford depending on LTV. If Vince is grossing $70k you can take his yearly x 3.3 = $231,000. If he puts down 20% ($37,800) obviously his loan amount will be $151,200 and a much lower payment and will probably reduce his interest rate. This is on a 30 year.
Vince is young, he's what.. 28, 29? He'll survive this bad investment and learn the hard way. Many of us have. It's like a broken arm, vs a broken back. He will recover and look back on this 20 years from now as one of the lessons in life. We've all done it at one time or another.
You missed the part where its a V.A loan at 0% down..
Both...make double payments and a lump sum at the end....I'll likely pay it off sooner with my business profits. I was going to put 15k down but I would have been under the 50k range. Instead I'll be putting down $2,750 and put the rest in the bank for now. In any event, 556.61 a month for a home is good. The amount also includes setup, delivery, and clearing the land.
Coach, we were both off.. it's almost zero down but not quite.
Wait? I missed this part where he mentioned “set up, delivery and land” are we talking about a trailer (like a double wide)?
pretty much except its a single wide Manufactured home,, but yeah
Why? It would lose value. The land as well. Is the land leased?
Vince, what are you thinking?

Vince, save your money. Put a down a nice down payment and unless you plan on living in the same place for the rest of your LIFE, get into a home that will bring you an investment (equity). You’re smarter than this.
Coach, I have no reason to spend over 200,000 for a home I will not have a need or use for...not to mention having to work for the rest of my life just to pay for that empty house.....what does a single man such as myself need with a 4 bedroom home??? Why should I take out a 200k loan just to get 4% interest??? Why do you think that I'm not smart for deciding to live within my means???
The home I bought is not only a great value but is designed to be easily remodeled and fixed up for pennies....thus giving my value for as long as I wish. I feel more comfortable with a 50k loan than a 200k loan. It may not be your cup of tea but its mine. They are a lot better than you think

Vince, I didn’t say to buy a $200k home. I simply stated what you could technically afford based on your income. What I am saying is buy something that will bring you value in the long run. Something that if you wanted to sell in 25-30 years you can use the equity as part of your retirement if that’s what you choose. But, if you’re happy with your decision then the best of luck.
Ok, talked to the contractor today on prepping the ground for the trailer. Its going to run 1500 bucks for the cement work and gravel. Duke Energy is going to hit me with about 500 bucks for the power pole. Still have to figure out how I want the deck but I'm going to have a pretty large one. Overall, everything is going to plan except that I just found out that as great of a location I have....there is no established cable services. I'm going to check with Frontier but it looks like I'll have to either go with HughesNet or likely just get a Verizon Jetpack for service. Still worth it as its all about location for me
What about sewer/septic? Or, will you be shitting in the woods? ???
What about it...of course I have city hookups...lil
What about it...of course I have city hookups...lil
Why would I want to sell it for??? I already have money for retirement along with an annuity and residual income from my online business. I'm not going to sell it in 25-30 years....I'm going to simply remodel it as the home I bought is a modular singlewide. Its a home to live in and I see no point in working myself to the bone for the rest of my life just to have something that I don't want.
Yeah, all bullshit. Annuity, retirement money, etc., etc.
Seems to me investing over $100,000 for a larger, better dwelling would be smart for a gay guy, especially if you ever get another partner.

As Jay from Modern Family would say. "And we're back"
Surprised Basile hasn't opened his big mouth.....oh well
And so it begins, land is being set up along with wiring and sewer. As I've confirmed, there is no DSL or cable internet services out there so I will not be doing any network gaming at my place whatsoever....but its worth it and I have a great 4G mobile signal. I'll actually save even more money now actually with that being the case
Here's some pictures of the property....thought I'd post it before the mobile home is placed there

Its in the middle of a forrest! Looks great brother. Beautifull greens in the summer.
It looks like you are not allowed to grow a garden?
How will you manage your online business ventures without internet?
Do you own the land or is the land leased?
I paid for the land but it has a management fee on it...195.00 a month. The other property I have is all wooded area (investment property)....would cost way too much to clear and set up. I can grow a garden if I want but it will likely be in pots if I was to do something.
Even without DSL or cable internet, it gets a good 4G cell phone signal so I'll just use a Samsung DEX device. I'll get Dish or Direct TV to cover my entertainment needs likely although I am also considering HughesNet Gen 5. I'm checking with my currect provider ATT as to what I use each month. But iy doesnt matter.....its all about the location
Not going to happen.
What do you get for that $195 mgt fee?You get the worst investment ever. Let's run this down.
You get the worst investment ever. Let's run this down.

Property values in the area plummet as soon as the blacks move in.

I agree with you absolutely but Vince is a big boy he can make his own decisions even though they might not be financially sound.
I was also told my online business wasn't sound, I was wasting my time doing podcast, I was wasting my time doing Youtube videos, etc. If I listened to all of you guys then I'd would be living at my parents house.
My key to success is to simply not care what other things and have the free will to make my own decisions. I can either win or lose but I automatically lose if I never play the game

I was wondering about the higher interest rate for your loan. It must be because the home is portable so I suppose some have disappeared, etc. Make sure the managers keep an eye on your dwelling!
That's what a security system is for. The interest rate is meaningless because its for a 50k loan which I'll pay off in a few years.... ::)
I wasn't referring to you. I should have started it many years ago.....it was simply a decision I made. But a lot of people shit on me for it even when I did start it.
The reason I'm buying the home is because what I am paying for now is simply unacceptable and I'll be able to save at least 600 dollars more a month on living expense. Rent is simply too high and there are way too many "add on's" being thrown in to increase revenues. Its simply ridiculous and the cost goes up a great deal each year. I not only want to have control of my expenses but I also want to get away from the city.....not too far but far enough. I'll have more freedom to do things I could not do with an apartment such as getting a home tub for example. Even if it depreciates, it serves my purpose and I can always renovate and remodel it if needed.
Clayton Homes has changed a great deal...its not perfect but neither is any other mortgage company or home builders. I'm buying the home for shelter....not for investment purposes. These are expenses that I would incur anyway so I'm not risking much of anything. I have to live somewhere after all

How many years were you on the force before you retired?
about 24
You know where I'm going with this.
Can't wait for me, Henda and Fitness Frenzy to move in with Vince.

Hate to say it but the fucktard (you) is right (except blacks moving in). Consider that backhanded compliment.
Again, I disagree with all of you. Its going to be nice to own my first house. Have to go in tommorrow to sign some more paperwork and find someone to build a deck.
Why on earth you post this information on Getbig is a mystery. You always boast about buying a new tv, car, etc.

Vince the one on the rt of the pic looks like its tipping sideways? Is that just the pic or did it sink? Do they set the trailer on gravel?
There is skirting and a vapor barrier...ground will be sprayed

My guess is the camera was set to shoot panoramic which can distort images somewhat. If you look at the house on the left of the photo, you'll notice it appears to be tipping in the opposite direction.

That doesn't answer the question. What is the foundation platform to make sure it's level and doesn't tilt or sink? Ground is sprayed for what?

Haha the mans a fucking idiot, this mobile home is apparently going to last a lifetime and he’s going to spray a bit weed killer and put a sheet of polyethylene down to stand it on haha
I'm not setting up the mobile home. That's what I'm paying Clayton Homes to do. They are also building the deck as well...one 10×20 in the front and a 4×5 in the rear with solid pine. It's going to be fine, Henda.
You would think they would put a concrete slab down and secure the home to it. If you have a big storm it could be a worry.
So where is the garage for your two cars?
Ground is sprayed to insure animals Don't try to get under it. As far as leveling is concerned, I'm not a home builder and d ont wish to be. It's being set up by Clayton Homes so I'll let them do their job and stay out of the way.

I kid you Vince, but if you are going to use wood for a deck, while pine is the cheapest, it doesn't last long. Composites like TREX or its competitors will last much much longer. It is a bigger up front expense but since you are planning to stay there a long time, the cost will be negated. I know for some looking at the initial investment and how cheap pine is to composite seems the better value, but a guy like you, that looks at the big picture, certainly you can see the value of staying away from pine which rots and warps at a faster pace than almost any other wood.This. Listen to this man.

That would be convenient, leave the wheels on, so in a couple years it can be wholesaled or traded for a Jaquar with a salvage title.

Tres heats up too much in the summer. PRESSURE treated pine is better and looks nicer
Well, it doesn't look nicer and it isn't better than composite.. but if that's all you can afford, I understand
Trex may last longer but I hate the stuff. Hated it when I worked as Lowes. Has nothing to do with affordability as I could simply get untreated wood and put a sealant on it myself...the cost difference is only about 1200 bucks but I simply like real wood deck. They require more care than Trex but its worth it
I feel my job is to lead you to water. Forcing your head down to take a drink is beyond my control. Good luck!
Its my house and its my money. The decision is always mine. You're welcome to put Trex in your home but I simply hate the stuff. I want real wood....not some composite material and that's what I'm going to get for my home.
pine is barely real wood but ok..
???? Please explain.....lol. Pine is real wood
So, let's see if I got the story. Goodrum, who definitely knows the value of a dollar, rejected buying a house and instead is saving heaps buying land and a mobile dwelling.
Something doesn't make sense because a solid house with a lower interest rate would surely be a better buy and investment.
Then we learn that there is a monthly management fee. Well, so much for getting out and off the grid. Instead, Melvin will live among other people who think like he does.
No internet! I mean, who would buy a new home and not have access to the internet? So his place to be must be almost rural and fuel to and from work will add up.
Then he will have to install a satellite dish or use a more expensive way to have more data. How on earth would someone run an internet business in those circumstances?
The more we learn the less impressed we are. Sure, Melvin is saving money but it doesn't sound that attractive now. Lots of expenses to come re setting things up.

Think of it as whiskey. Dewars is scotch, Johnny walker red is scotch, McCallan is single Malt Scotch. All are scotch whiskeys..
I have some wood working experience. Pine.. is the cheapest and softest wood commercially available. Ply board is cheaper but it doesn't fit here. Pine is the Kia of wood. Yes it is cheap, but you get what you pay for and will be replacing boards in short order.

Not if you don't need a 4 bedroom house.

Homes in the suburbs have HOA fees...what's your point.

There's no Cable or DSL internet lines. Location is well worth it. I can get Hughesnet or Viasat but I think you forgot who I work for you moron. I'm also 10 minutes away from the highway and can get to work in 30 minutes.

I have a friend selling the Bose Soundtouch 20 for $70 dollars because they are moving back to Italy wish I had known you were in the market. I have the smaller bose for bed side to make cool rain noises so I didn't buy it. But yeah.. a LOT of things beat the clarity and sound of a Bose system
As long as I do preventative maintenance, it will be fine and will feel better on the feet than plastic....especially in the summer. South Carolina has extremely hot weather which will literally turn a Trex deck into a foot blister...not to mention warp the boards. Wood absorbs the heat better and won't radiate it back at me as with composite boards.
Now, with that being said...I did make a decision on my audio needs by purchasing a Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker. With my employee discount, it was only 129.99. Perfect for the living room when I'm reading a book and want to listen to some music. Nothing beats the sound and clarity of a Bose system.

So I was right. You live out in the bushes. Half an hour each way to work is a long drive and uses up plenty of gas.
This location is more expensive the more we know about it. You have neighbours who live in mobile homes.
Guess you are going forward full speed ahead.
What about U fatso ?, how is yours life style (aka warehouse living) , why do U live 66km from famous ;D Manly beach :o & in the hottest part
of greater Sydney 8) OBW, do U still drive that old bomb :D

I'm having a a driveway being poured up to the deck. Its fine,
Woods like pine can work in protected areas, but they’ll begin to rot fairly quickly when fully exposed and may only last a few years. Pressure-treated pine lasts much longer thanks to chemical preservatives, making it great for decks.
It takes 20 minutes now to get to work....I don't think an extra 10 minutes is going to hurt. You are truly stupid
When taking the effort to maintain the deck every 2 years ( repaint it) it can last a long time.
Hopefully, the builder will use clear pine. Knots can be a problem.
I've been reading this thread for the last hour or so and it has provided me with a lot of lolz. Some really funny shit being said.
Tell me if you guys like my idea for home ownership. I'm going to buy a big house in Detroit for $1500 cash. I'd install the best alarm system, the best cameras, I'd bar the windows, I'd install on of those cages inside the house like the movie "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I'd walk around my house with a kevlar vest on and have an AR-15 at arms reach wherever I went. I'll work from home and shop on Amazon so I never have to go out. I'd have zero expenses other than food, and internet. I'd put every cent of my income in investments. I won't leave the house until I'm a multi-millionaire at which time I'd hire some former Navy Seals to come and safely extract me. lol.
JK, I already have a house. If I was in my early 20's this is what I would do though, hahaha.

I don't think termites will care.
It's pressure treated...not raw wood. Bugs won't eat it

how long have you worked for Bose?

No
Bose are kinda known by the audiophile community for not being high quality. From headphones to car audio systems to home audio systems, they kinda are low to low-mid grade.
Ok, tell me what's wrong with Bose

Generally, they are overhyped and overpriced for the sound you get. But they aren't bad

He's going to be living in a mobile home and paying a ridiculously high interest rate so "low grade" is par for the course
"your mom is low grade"
LOL at all the discussion about a low end hifi. What most people do is buy a decent home theatre to go with the large screen TV. That solves the hifi issue for the home. You play your music through it.
Naturally it will cost more but Goodrum will sniff out the bargains.
About Bose. They started out in the sixties and built up hype through various systems that were different. Amar Bose insisted that if you couldn't hear the difference then why pay for so called higher fidelity equipment.
Over the decades his company has built up a reputation for providing good listening systems from walkaround to home systems. I don't think they are the cheapest but, like Apple, you pay for the brand.
Naturally Goodrum opts for the cheapest bluetooth system. There is a 20 and 30 wireless unit as well but are much more expensive. One thing even the best don't have is tone controls. You can't add more bass or treble so have to accept
what Bose considers the right sound. Goodrum can tell his visitors he has Bose so will feel proud of that.
If Bose was just "hype" it would have went out of business a long time ago. The SoundTouch 10 is perfect for my living room for some great tunes while reading or making fun of you on Getbig. It has an electronic equalizer so buttons for bass and treble are not needed.
To criticize my selection of audio is just bullshit and obviously I always shop for the best price.
Don't listen to these retards Vince ,if you are honestly happy with your house ,your sound system , your car ............etc , fuck what people think .

Who is knocking Bose? Not me. I have access to the SoundTouch 30 system which sounds very nice in a room.
I have 901 Bose speakers as well as noise-cancelling headphones. I have Duntech Sovereign speakers and also RTR monitors with 25 inch bass and 34 drivers in each speaker.
I paid over $1000 for two connecting cables just to have state of the art. Very expensive hobby for sure.
Enjoy your SoundTouch 10.
Oh shut up...you were talking shit about me once again.
You talk shit most of the time so why not get some back yourself! You are still a delusional dork.'

Fuck you....crusty old bastard. You came at me on this thread.

There you are in a remote part of North Carolina setting up in a mobile home area complete with a resident manager. Seems to me you are planning for a future on your own which is quite sad.
Anyway, you claim to have an IQ of 131 so don't need to listen to the Flotsam here. Doesn't look like you will be buying a Jaguar any time soon.

So today Getbiggers I went in and put my down payment on my new home along with purchasing a half acre of property in a very nice area of Greenville. More to comeYeah, it’s best you buy your own land away from civilization..you know, for disease control
You bought the hype and boasted about your BOSE system. That system is going to be terrible for your ethnic music.

FACT, dollar for dollar there are much better options.
I listen to mostly jazz, blues, classical, trance.....barely any hip hop

With this move are you trying to say that ther Ain't No Love In The Heart of The City? Or that The Thrill Is Gone?

Now that audio is taken care of (I have a Vizio Soundbar and a Polaroid Speaker for the bedroom, lets get to TV. I will not be getting the Samsung Frame as its too expensive for what it does. Need something 43-50 inches in the living room with Ultra HD 4k.
Suggestions???
Dell just had a deal on a 55" samsung and $250 gift card for $500. Not sure if offer is still good.
Its still there but with me moving out in the country, I'm switching to a Dex Workstation for my Galaxy S8 phone mainly. I'll hardly ever fire up my HP computer unless I need to.
doesnt that go for everything you would use at home, or do you go around playing with the kettle even though you dont want a hot drink?
you missed the point...
No. Most cell phone plans have unlimited data these days so I can use it as much as I like with a DEX station. I also get 15 GB of mobile hotspot on my phone to use my regular computer although I will be purchasing a JetPack for that. For media, I'll have either Dish Network or Direct TV although I'm going to try out a few things before I do that as I may not even need it.
you missed the point...
weak troll............I really hope... ::)
Are you referring to electricity??? I already pay for Duke Energy and the connections for that are all set
weak troll............I really hope... ::)
This is no troll thread, my friend. I keep it real and tell it like it is
then you missed the point....
You havent made a point from my observation.
if you are not trolling now then please dont buy that caravan and try and live alone, apply to the state for a carer...
Caravan??? This is a house not a fucking Caravan or RV. I already have a career so learn to spell
a carer you fucking moron, someone to care for you, you know, like the people who accompany people with learning difficulties to the mall.
and it is a fucking caravan, its sitting on grass FFS.

Hahaha.
Vince really is deluded. If he would have dedicated his life to a career, wisely used the black AND fag cards to his advantage he wouldn't be drooling over a fucking mobile home.
On the other hand.. I know so many people that are house rich and cash poor. They bought in to the big house, luxury cars and all the accessories and can't afford to go out to dinner, go on vacation and are literally living paycheck to paycheck and would be homeless in 6 months if they lost their income.
Kudos to Vince for having a reasonable goal, a new home, perfectly livable, comfortable and practical for 50K, less than many many cars and trucks people get sucked into. That he is excited about it is all that really matters. He's paying the bills. Now he had to have known that sharing something about your life on GetBig invites friendly banter and not so friendly bashing.. but lets see where he stands verses some of you in 20 years ..
looking at an empty plot where his wooden house used to stand before it fell apart while others are planning to sell their real houses and make a handsome profit and move to a nice little house in the sun...

Fuck off.
In 20 years my real house will be paid off, his will need an oil change.
So it's really the banks for the next 20 years? His will be his in 5..
Yeah, we get it, cars have shorter financing terms than houses.
we shall see... 98% of the houses I know are made from wood with various outer facades.
In the UK we use bricks and mortar, we are not idiots.
They last hundreds of years, anyone buying a house and staying in it long term makes money eventually.
We bought well at the right time and are now mortgage free sitting in a property worth around £230k
We are in a position to be able to sell up whenever we like and move wherever we like.
Currently we like where we live, if it gets an infiltration of immigrants and undesirables we will move.
What if goodrum parks his trailer next to you?no black people near me yet...
In the UK we use bricks and mortar, we are not idiots.In the UK I suspect the bricks and mortar are covering wood studs. His home will have metal siding covering his

No they are not, uk houses are build with 2 leafs with a cavity in between, inner leaf is blockwork these days and outer is facing brick, either you are trolling or a complete fucking idiot to compare construction of a static caravan to a house
Even if what you said about uk construction methods was correct to even suggest barely 1mm thick corrugated shit steel is a better alternative than brickwork for the outer leaf of a timber frame house is sheer stupidity

Calm down dude. I'm not suggesting corrugated steel is better than brickwork, I'm merely saying the manufactured home isn't the piece of junk you are portraying it to be. 50K for a new manufactured home that will suit his needs for at least 15-20 years isn't such a horrible purchase. It might not be what you and I would do but it's not a plywood shanty with tarps and bailing wire
I never said vince’s fine negro accommodation was junk, I’ve acknowledged that caravans are better build now than they used to be.
Seems like a rabbit trail. I don't think anyone, certainly not me, is saying his trailer/manufactured home will last 200 years, or as long as a brick home. Just that it isn't the plywood and tarp shanty shack some are trying to make it out to be.
Got the Bose System yesterday and just tested it out. I made the perfect choice. Going to get a Southtouch 30 as well to pair along with itIve got the Bose mini soundlink I've had for a couple years. I don't think it is available anymore. I use it to play rain shower noise at night. Surprisingly robust for it's size

The mobile home is going to be on pavers on top of a concrete poured underside, then covered with skirting. It will be very stable
Why bother with the paving? If it’s not seen just do away with the paving and pour a few extra inches of concrete to make up for the depth of the paving, no real difference in strength but cheaper and quicker
I'm going by what the contractor says. Setting up homes is not my specialty so I'd rather go along with someone who has set up 100's of these places than using Wikipedia.
I also do this for a living and I’m not “using wikepedia”,no proper foundation for anything is laid on “pavers” other that when diy’ers lay a few 3x2 flags as a base for their shed or greenhouse, why the fuck would you go to the hassle of laying a 2 inch thick paving slab in minimum of 4 inches of wet concrete and having to level every flag when you can just pour 6 to 8 inches of wet concrete, tamper it and be done?
I wasn't talking about you...I was talking about myself not knowing about setting up homes. I'll trust the contractor in setting up the home and make sure it passes inspection. If he fucks up, he'll have to fix it at his own dime
My bad vince,
My original post was just trying be helpful and not nitpicking
No biggie. If I don't know about something then I either ask or hire someone who does. The only thing I did is simply find a reputable and experienced contractor to handle the foundation. Setup and Delivery is all done by Clayton Homes.
My house was actually completed and is sitting in Easley, SC as building one takes only 7 days. I'll go down this weekend to check it out as well as the property to sign off on the placement
Yep, hired a contractor. Your point?

I saw the pavers comment on top of a slab and thought "why?" I can't think of any reason to add pavers to a poured slab that will be covered in skirting and I am curious as to why the contractor would do it. the only reason that comes to my mind is adding to the cost.

Pier and Beam construction. The trailer will have a crawl space underneath. Pavers are cheap form of piers. It's not about adding cost, it's about doing the job, cheap and fast.That a stray dog, raccoon, chickens, or a number of assorted critters can use for a home? Cool!

I was unaware that the manufactured home would be placed on any type of Pier and Beam system.

That hidey hole should make a nice space for Vince's Gimp. ;D

Nowhere to put it, has to be built...Will cost more than mine when all said and done
:-[ I tried.
You already covered this with Clayton homes and that's great. Other folks who might be thinking about buying a mobile home might not know it. That's my point. Did you think it was a criticism?
If I wanted to downsize, I might look into prefabricated homes such as Glide House or Turkel Design, this one has 1710 sq ft, http://www.turkeldesign.com/products/td3-series/td3-1710.html (http://www.turkeldesign.com/products/td3-series/td3-1710.html)
Why bother. Clayton Homes is the largest home builder in the United States. They also built modulars and site build homes. This Turkel Design looks like trouble

Not sure why you bag on Melvin. He seems to have thought everything through and got advice from experts. Why should he defer to strangers on a muscle board, many of whom just mock him on everything?
https://www.probuilder.com/2017-housing-giants-rankings
This shows Clayton isn't in the top 50
Not in the top 100
http://www.builderonline.com/builder-100/builder-100-list/2016/
He says Clayton is the number 1 home builder.. but they don't show up on any list... top 100 builders in America. Don't you care about him?

interesting story involving clayton homes
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/the-mobile-home-trap-how-a-warren-buffett-empire-preys-on-the-poor/
EPHRATA, Grant County — After years of living in a 1963 travel trailer, Kirk and Patricia Ackley found a permanent house with enough space to host grandkids and care for her aging father suffering from dementia.
So, as the pilot cars prepared to guide the factory-built home up from Oregon in May 2006, the Ackleys were elated to finalize paperwork waiting for them at their loan broker’s kitchen table.
But the closing documents he set before them held a surprise: The promised 7 percent interest rate was now 12.5 percent, with monthly payments of $1,100, up from $700.
Editor's note
This report is a collaboration between The Seattle Times and The Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative newsroom based in Washington, D.C.
The terms were too extreme for the Ackleys. But they’d already spent $11,000, at the dealer’s urging, for a concrete foundation to accommodate this specific home. They could look for other financing but desperately needed a space to care for her father.
Kirk’s construction job and Patricia’s Wal-Mart job together weren’t enough to afford the new monthly payment. But, they said, the broker was willing to inflate their income in order to qualify them for the loan.
“You just need to remember,” they recalled him saying, “you can refinance as soon as you can.”
To their regret, the Ackleys signed.
The disastrous deal ruined their finances and nearly their marriage. But until informed recently by a reporter, they didn’t realize that the homebuilder (Golden West), the dealer (Oakwood Homes) and the lender (21st Mortgage) were all part of a single company: Clayton Homes, the nation’s biggest homebuilder, which is controlled by its second-richest man — Warren Buffett.
Buffett’s mobile-home empire promises low-income Americans the dream of homeownership. But Clayton relies on predatory sales practices, exorbitant fees, and interest rates that can exceed 15 percent, trapping many buyers in loans they can’t afford and in homes that are almost impossible to sell or refinance, an investigation by The Seattle Times and Center for Public Integrity has found.
These people had no business purchasing a home....credit score of 474 and only a seasonal job at Walmart??? Other couple paying over 1000 a month with an income of 1700 dollars???
I make 70k a year between my job and my business and I'm paying 561 a month for the home and insurance. Financially speaking, I'm in a lot better shape but physically I could do with losing a few pounds..
No problem. I was originally looking into a tiny home but they were not only more expensive than a mobile home but zoning laws pretty much prohibit them from anywhere. Closest place was a shitty RV Park that would take it but it was pretty much seasonal prices (expensive)

Yeah I guess you gotta take into account having someone put it together. lol Plus you have to have land. Wonder why zoning would prohibit them?
A lot of property sold these day have minimum home size requirements. Other properties don't allow tiny homes or even mobile homes. The places that are available for tiny homes are in areas no one would ever live
LOL. Melvin started out feeling proud of his new home and even music player. Look at him now. He has to counter all the advices and is outside his comfort zone.He’s perfectly entitled to be proud of his new home
Just curious do you happen to know the minimum SqFt requirements?

It was in reference to a driveway and not the home's foundation.
100% sure?
pavers are for the driveway....not the foundation

Should you really be criticising vinces new home when you live in a warehouse according to a very credible source on here?
Vince B should move in with Vince G.
congrats vince
And Vince B said it would never happen. Who's laughing now. :D
Just finished preliminary inspection. A few decorative accents got damaged in transit but no major issues. There will be 2 more when the home is set up but very excited at being almost done
It's hard to believe you put your down payment on this home only a few month's ago...December 23. You cannot build a house using the traditional building process in just a little over 2 months. It takes longer then that just to get the permits in some places. It often takes up to 6 months for new construction.
You seem like a guy who has a pretty good understanding and knowlegde of getting stuff done.
It actually takes about 7 days to build a mobile home. Clayton Homes are built on a huge production line indoors so there's no delays for weather, material, etc. There is However Its not permitted yet until its set on the property and it completes 2 more inspections for plumbing, electrical, etc. The inspection today was the delivery inspection of goods to take care of any cosmetic issues.
Great stuff, Vince.
Given the 57k price for the home I'd have probably been a bit more extravagant with the land location - but fair enough. I live (rent) in a shithole that is on million dollar land (inner city) and I've lived in better houses further away from work and I'd definitely say the shithole in a great spot is the better.
You seem like a guy who has a pretty good understanding and knowlegde of getting stuff done.
Also really dig those Hardwood floors :o, awesome look!
Congratulations on your beautiful home and appliances.
Vince, can I come over for a BBQ?
Sure, although I do Robatayaki. Hope you like octopus
😳😳😳
Can you just cook me a kielbasa?
No
You damn home wrecker!!
I'm only going to have a few friends and family...maybe my brother too

isn't your brother redundant .. you said a few friends and family..
I've lived in the city before in Asheville and while being in walking distance to Beanstreets Coffeehouse, Orange Peel, and the Food Co-Op it was ultimately just expensive and did not allow me to save money.
Well, I was more talking about the 12 minute drive to work and the 10 minute drive to the gym. It didn't even occur to me once that there wasn't food and coffee within walking distance of your new house :)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a FEMA trailer?
Working out at home...not competing anymore
spit out my coffee
We already have Vince Basile to talk shit...we've filled our quota on this thread for idiots
I still have my Total Trainer and Elliptical but I'll be getting a Bowflex and adjustable dumbbells...more than enough to stay in shape
No matter what I post here I don't compare to the resident buffoon/bullshitter known as Vince G CSN MFT PHD.
Here he is boasting about having a portable home way outside his city. At least he has a resident manager to keep an eye on
his dwelling and Jeep while he is at work.
You saw the Jeep....and now you see my new home. Where's the bullshit. Why do you live in a warehouse???
You claim various things from time to time that smack of bs. Eg., that you earn $70,000/year. If you did you wouldn't be buying that portable dwelling, etc.
Maybe you haven't experienced better things in life. So be it, be content with what you can afford.

Goodrum is always posting crap about what he has, done, will do, etc. Like making $70,000 a year. Yeah, that is why he is buying what he is buying.
He lived in a double wide before so he is going back to what he knows.
It sounds like you think $70,000 is a lot and he is exaggerating his income. Doesn't sound like an exaggeration to me. What do you make a year?

Goodrum delights in exaggerating his own resources and importance. The truth is Goodrum is a buffoon and nincompoop.

Moving sucks but congrats! Oh do you tie into water and sewer?
I agree that moving is no picnic. My last two moves, one 1985 and again in 1998, I hired movers. It beats the heck out of renting a trailer and moving oneself.
I thought you said the you make $75,000 a year. This suggests you make lots in commissions around $23,000 or so. You are doing fine....better than a lot of people.
I still run a business as well
Good on you. You are a very ambitious person.

He doesn't really post that many bullshit claims. You just claim bullshit on everything he says. Even when he says he is going to buy some broke ass car from an auction :)
I agree that wage is bullshit, but who cares?
I'd be happy to live in that house he bought. Looks fine for me. Sounds ridiculously cheap. Better than having a shitty giant mortgage.
I realise you're an older gent and you did okay back in the day - but the reality of these days is pretty grim. If your parents don't give you any money, you're stuck working hard just to get a deposit so you can get like 90% of a house price lent to you :-/
50 years ago everyone working could buy property and pay it off. The cost of housing in Australia and Canada, for example, is making ownership almost impossible for younger people. I am well aware of that. There isn't really any solution. Goodrum has got what he wants so good for him. I don't begrudge him for that. He didn't buy a Jaguar so who cares? We all know he will post things that he gets excited about. Lots of people chime is so his threads are always entertaining. He sees a post from me and immediately assumes I am putting shit on him. LOL. When I give him advices he doesn't listen. For example, when his relationship broke up I encouraged him to move out of that small town and go to a city where he could get a job. Then he claims I am shitting on him. The truth is other people here do that. He gets the same responses even when I leave his threads alone.

You fucking moron....this isn't 50 years ago. Things have changed greatly. You bag on people for not having any degrees and continue to boast about your Master degree when the cost of annual tuition in your Old Testament days was about 400 dollars. Houses were 12,000 dollar, a decent car was 2500, and a gallon of gas was 30 cents.
Inflation has made buying things in life very expensive....that's why I created these (Fuck this shit, I have a better idea) threads for......But lets face the facts. You can say whatever you want about me but the sad fact is that you've wasted your entire life. A meaningless Mr Canada title from a contest you organized and picked the judges, a last place finish in the Mr Australia in a show you couldn't fix....your years of begging and pleading for your blue stars, you losing your gym and having to live in a warehouse. You have nothing Vince Basile and your name will not even be a typo in the history of bodybuilding. You are a loser Vince Basile because your never took your bodybuilding aspirations to the next level to actually win some shows. You are a failure and no amount of insults directed at me is going to change it.

I saw that house but I live in Greenville, South Carolina. I would jump on that house because it's super cheap. Is Goodrum in Greenville, South Carolina or Greenville, North Carolina? ???
I believe he resides in SC. Are you guys neighbors? ???
I believe Goodrum is from North Carolina, not South Carolina, but I could be wrong.
He and I have spoken about the various regions in North Carolina and everything would lead me to believe he is from NC not SC.

Good deal,in mass that 130k would get you a 2 bedroom 800sf apt in a shithole town.

I can but Ron doesn't want be to put your web address back to NAMBLA. ;D

I've already bought a home but a lot of those homes have excessively high HOA fees
Wife? That's a laugh. I thought they were husband and husband like most male and male relationships. Tops bottom and bottoms top.If you pay $95 a mo HOA fee you're a bottom wife.
I paid for the land but it has a management fee on it...195.00 a month. The other property I have is all wooded area (investment property)....would cost way too much to clear and set up. I can grow a garden if I want but it will likely be in pots if I was to do something.
Even without DSL or cable internet, it gets a good 4G cell phone signal so I'll just use a Samsung DEX device. I'll get Dish or Direct TV to cover my entertainment needs likely although I am also considering HughesNet Gen 5. I'm checking with my currect provider ATT as to what I use each month. But iy doesnt matter.....its all about the location
He pays $195/month management fees.
well, that may be but a lot don't. Your current $95 a month management fee is way more than my annual HOA was outside of Austin. I think it was $270 a year
In Greenville, its usually 300-700 dollars a month
In Greenville, its usually 300-700 dollars a month
Just looked up a million dollar home with HOA's cheaper than yours
When I'm a millionaire, I'll buy one. In the meantime, I honestly don't give a shit
But the point is... oh never mind....
There is no point. I've already closed on the house...the deal is done. Permits will be delivered tommorrow and the home will be on the property in 2 weeks
Vince, check out some of the forums on the subject. Tons of great tips that aren't found elsewhere. Ways to keep your investment looking brand new, year after year.
Also, maybe it's too late for this advice, but: think about staying in your current place for a month or so, and give those brand new materials some time to process out a little. Let's just say it won't hurt your health to do that, certainly.
Thread was not created for advice. Plan for home has been in the works for over a year so I don't need another month. Lets just say that I'm old enough to make decisions
Well, Melvin, you said a mouthful there. Surely the collective advices of Getbiggers is superior to what you came up with?
About time you got off your high horse and had sensible conversations with others. Or maybe you are too smart by half?!
Melvin, you have no shame and very little class. No wonder you resort to insults instead of accepting good advice.
I am doing quite well and have no complaints. Life has been good to me and I still enjoy what I do.
You live in a warehouse.... ;D

Just got back home from closing and its all done. I'm now a homeowner. I also found out to my astonishment that there is a high speed internet provider, Vivint, in the area I'm in which will save me a lot of money overall along with allowing me to do my online gaming since I'll get 100MPS speeds if I want to. ;D
What do those exorbitantly high HOA fees cover?
Apparently he has no problem breathing in all those potentially toxic emissions. Maybe he likes the fresh scent of formaldehyde. ;)

Interesting.... If someone hires a gardener, would it make them a bottom wife even though they have no husband?Point is he's getting sodomized and it's actually $195 a month and probably going up every year. Could have bought a real house for the cost of this cardboard shack and fees. Absolute hilarious fail.

I suspect he's talking about the building's materials, such as carpeting, off-gassing VOC's which are sometimes toxic.
VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are chemical byproducts found in many building supplies and products. Treated wood, insulation, carpeting, paints and cabinets all contain VOCs that will evaporate or off-gas into the air.
that is a nice house
is this the typical backyard on saturdays lol? j/k

The amount is much less than a remodeled or new home

Point is he's getting sodomized and it's actually $195 a month and probably going up every year. Could have bought a real house for the cost of this cardboard shack and fees. Absolute hilarious fail.

Once everyone sees the home, they'll see that it is a magnificent dwelling....especially with the decor I'll be putting in. Time to bring some class to Getbig.

When is the official move in date?
Not only that, I'm going to also change the decor as I now have wood laminate floors instead of carpet but I intend to have a nice Scandinavian design that's going to be simple and modern.

The wool, hand tufted Crate & Barrel rug in the photo at the top runs $1,599. for a 9' X 12'. It works with mid-century design as does the one on the bottom.Vince owned again. Your style is too ghetto for a trailer in SC. Haha ;D
Those rugs do not represent my style which tends to be more eclectic. I have antique Turkish, 100% wool, hand knotted rugs in my living room and kitchen. I was employed for 18 years as a home furnishings coordinator for Macy's. They apparently thought my design sense was OK.

You are entitled to your opinion. People have different taste. I'm not discrediting your taste; why are you dishing mine when I already said those rugs don't fit my style?
This is the rug I recently choose for my living room. It is a copy of an antique Turkish 100% wool rug, which was hand knotted in Turkey. Imagine how many knots there are, each one knotted by hand. It may not be to your liking and that's fine with me. I've had the furniture for a longtime, but the rug is a new purchase. My style is eclectic, mainly because I've collected these items over the course of many years and I don't like tossing stuff.
I think you meant gay points and not day points, right? It's a misconception that gay folks automatically have better taste than straight folks do.
That's what I figured...you collected a lot of things and you are simply holding onto them because you spent so much. The problem is where all of the patterns are just running together.....I had a similar place as yours until Vissy straightened me out on design. But that's your business
Vince, does Queen Vissy have a good eye for interior design?
Apparently he has no problem breathing in all those potentially toxic emissions. Maybe he likes the fresh scent of formaldehyde. ;)
I once knew a real nice couple who moved into a brand new MH (beautiful place, and newly made, like Vince's). The woman developed cancer and died less than two years later. Her husband developed cancer and died within five years. So they went from being at their happiest ever in life, to dead and gone, that quickly. Thank God no children to be left behind.
Naturally, though, most who are in those homes don't die as they did, and a causal link isn't necessarily waiting to be found. They were middle-aged smokers, as well, with other risky factors ongoing.
But I'll never forget visiting them and noticing the "newness" (shall we say), which caused me to give a half-hearted warning about chemicals fucking people and to please keep it in mind. I didn't want to be too negative, since they were so joyous and thrilled with everything. But it's a really, really terrible memory to look back upon and I'll forever wonder if there's something else I should have said or done. (But what, really? That's the problem.)
The warnings about "Chemicals Known to Cause Cancer" can't and shouldn't be taken lightly. That's a fact.
So....you are trying to blame the death of 2 people to cancer on the chemicals used to make a mobile home which are the exact same chemicals used to make a regular home??? Come on now. The likely cause was obviously smoking as I find it one of the most dangerous products out there in terms of cigarettes but the truth is that there's no written rule on "stopping death". You can take preventive and obvious measures like not playing in traffic and fighting grizzly bears but when its your time....its your time.
And your choice to switch out the carpet is a damn good one IMO. Guaranteed the summers will be more pleasant. In winter: throw down some Persian or whatever.
Only other reasonable choice is low-VOC carpeting and frankly that's not necessarily worth it (versus your current choice).
No, I think you're doing damn well and you'll have a much better life on this path than many Americans could ever, ever, ever dream of having. Plus you can move your home if something terrible happens in this unstable world. Most homeowners would lose all but a hitchhiking thumb and maybe a can of tuna or grits or something. That's a fact.
Vince, don't be surprised by the neighbors being a bit jealous of you for having the newest and slickest mobile home in the community. You can ease the tension by getting one of TA's best pie recipes, baking them and giving them out during a moving-in soirée. Don't forget to use this as material for your YouTube channel.
Lol...I'll have to do a lot more cooking and prepping meals as I am farther away from Greenville and can't run out to the store as often. Thank goodness for the huge pantry I have
Aren't you close to a Ingles or a Bilo? ???
Yea, but I don't like shopping there. Prefer Lidl, Aldi, & Sam's Club
Just get some damn groceries from trader Joe's or whole foods.

Ok Getbiggers, there was a car accident on I85 so I didn't get there till late. But here's a few pictures. Turned on the high beams.....and yes there is a window panel missing....fell off on the road while it was moving. There's still 2 inspections to make, 911 has to be hooked up, driveway needs to be poured, Duke Energy has to come by to hook up connections....etc. But its almost done... ;D

Yes, SF. Count me in.
While General Henda's busy overseeing all additions such as our new mega-deck and whatever else we can get away with building/installing, perhaps you and I can begin to check surrounding areas for the best stores and other important locations which may contain beer.
Great time to identify and destroy all unfriendly neighbors, too. Hit them hard before they have a clue who we are. I predict an exploding furnace or two may be in the cards, should anyone look to interfere with out pursuit of happiness.
Right now, imo, the only thing missing is a certain someone with his cooking skills. Because so help me, I'll starve before removing our most valuable possession: the "No Girlz Allowed" sign. Dames are trouble, as we know, and no bitch is getting in the way of our new life.
We need True Adonis to move in and cook for us.
Would love to sit around and listen to Goodrum and TA debate exercise physiology.
I'm honestly not sure what Adonis would think....my home is nothing compared to his estate but I would respect his opinion on any design options. Not to give anything away, Adonis lives in a Historic District so he's required by law to insure his home is on point.
Vince, your place of residence looks nice. Good job.
I cant wait to come visit and sleep in the guest bedroom.
Your shadow on the side of the house is looking, large, and in charge. :)
That deck (if you call something that small a deck) and stairs look horrible. Whoever built that has no idea what they are doing.
I thought 23k was a good deal? ???
Sounds like you’re getting ready to whine again you black pussy.

A quick google reveals that I'm as uninformed as ever. It wasn't timing chains themselves. Just tensioners and guides which caused the 'uh, hi, can you bring your car back? Soon? There's... something we have to do to it."
I'm sure they went back tosteelmetal of some kind by now but I have a hard time forgiving companies that make decisions like that on a supposedly premium quality product.
"... because there are no timing marks on this engine."
Again, fucking why?! Why would anyone do that? And what are they going to charge for the piece of milled ali with the top secret dimensions?
The front porch is all skirted in. The best way is to have the front porch also a storage place, with access to it. That would give you extra space to store outside things in..

you would be better off with a jeep brand SUV - simple, last forever, cheap to maintain
i am german, used to be hard core bmw fan (my father same way) but BMWs are technical nightmares and are no longer the ultimate driving machine they used to be. - but their sales are strong and soccer moms love them - drivers have just moved to different autos of choice
i had a 2001 bmw 740i sport package (pre Bangle design change) imho these were the best of the modern bmw.Caddy ATS-V. Or Ford GT350
e46 m3
540i - m5 with a 6 speed v8
e38 7 series - big 5 spoke deep dish wheels
well the timing chain kicked my ass, it was $2k to $3k at an indi shop. god damn i do not miss bmw repairs.
imho bmws are boring these days - the whole cost of the car is just gizmos and very little "ultimate driver machine" the m4 and m6 yes but those are $80k $120k cars now -
good riddance

Its been a while since there's been a montage thread up here. The fact is that people are too busy trying to keep up with everyone else which is the real reason that the average American household has over 130k dollars of debt with little to no savings. People live paycheck to paycheck in this country and are bound to their jobs. A person getting fired is usually the breaking point for a mass shooting/suicide.

You obviously know your stuff when it comes to builder work. What's your background?
"1"
This style of curb is all over the neighborhood where I live. I hate it because it is easy to bottom out when pulling in or out of the driveway. Builders like them because they are continuous which means you can place a driveway anywhere. That works well for them in situations like this.

My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. You are a funny mofo.
I guess anyone who has to count his pennies would accept conditions like the driveway preparation. There is still some grass there.
Usually there is a layer of pebbles put down first. Also, at the gutter there should be some dirt excavated so that there is a smooth
approach. No way I would accept this standard. I guess it goes with Goodrum saving money on those stick on numbers!

You're right however that's why its UNFINISHED.... ::)
that's good to hear. I'm sure there will be some rebar or metal wiring put in before the concrete pour...
I can't get too concerned over a driveway although I'll be sealing it after its done along with the deck. I'll prob have the deck done this weekend to allow it to dry...the cherry redwood will look awesome
you can't get too concerned? But you're going to seal it... Ok.. here's a pro tip. If they don't use rebar, they don't dig it down and pack the foundation and pour at least 4 inches, you can save your money on sealant, it's like putting lipstick on a pig
this is good

Driveway is done folks. I have to sign some insurance paperwork tommorrow and then head to Lowes for some brushes and Thompson's Advanced Water Seal to get the deck taken care of. I'll inspect it when I get there to work on the deck
Its a licensed contractor who has been doing outdoor landscaping, driveways and sidewalks for over 30 years so he's not going to risk his reputation and cut corners. Not only that, its still going to be inspected as well as everything else.

-Was wondering the same thing. The problem is with the camera man. Fixed for clarity.
One big slab of concrete with no expansion joints is very interesting.
Hard to tell the area from the photo but it appears to be within the allowable size before needing an expansion joint and has no firm edge restraints other than the kerb on one side so it should be fine

Good. My driveway is wider and much longer. Even with several expansion joints, it's cracked. But it is also 40 years old and has a pretty steep slope. It has withstood a few minor earth quakes over the years. When neighbors have had new driveways installed, it is pretty clear from the demolition that rebar was not in the original builders plans. Lots of folks have gone with concrete pavers instead of a solid surface. That's good for water runoff, but not so good on the rare occasions when we get enough snow to need to shovel it off. Wonder what it cost to heat the driveway? This would definitely solve the snow shoveling problem.
Just like the foundations for a house you can get away without rebar if the concrete is deep enough, to be fair after 40 years even the best of driveways will be in need of replacement.
Is block paving not popular over there? I typically decline to quote for concrete driveways as block paving is only a moderate extra expense and the prep work is largely the same and is far easier and less costly to but right in the rare occasion a problem arises, but have noticed many driveways in USA still tend to be concrete?
We're slow to catch on. :) In Germany, where my son lives, patios, walkways, parking strips and driveways are paved in concrete block. It the paving is really old, it might be brick or cobble stones, which apparently last forever.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Rothenburg_BW_4.JPG)
(http://www.thirdreichruins.com/WB1AHstrn1.jpg)
A lot of older streets here were paved in cobblestone, unfortunately rather than take the time to lift and relay them a lot of councils simply laid tarmac over them, the cobblestones themselves along with the old granite kerbs do last forever and are incredibly hard being almost practically impossible to break.
Concrete block paving is really popular here also and is my main line of work, if it ever takes of over there would move over there in a heartbeat if it were possible

Why not 200 amp? That's code for my home. -Found this out when I had a new electrical panel installed because the original one was reputed to cause fires, although it had worked fine for 30 years.200 amp is ideal i dont think theyd permit for 200 based on his low square footage.... i could be wrong

Word of advice. If a neighbor suggests you need to wrap your above ground water pipes in insulation or electrical insulation, don't shrug it off.x2

lucky it seems he has easy access.... pex and copper busted alot this year i hope they didnt run to many horizontal waterlines between the studs the cold will get to em
I hope the neighbors aren't racist or homophobic. Aside from that should be a great time living there.
Its not the way it works out in the South. You mind your own business and you're fine
Are you fucking serious? ??? I have neighbors and they are always asking me some shit.
1) doug, what did you do last night?
2) where'd you go last night?
3) you came home drunk the other night didn't you?
4) damn, you have a long commute to work!
5) this is cold weather to us.
6) how can you wear t-shirts in 15 degree weather?
7) who was that woman you were with?
I get asked stupid shit like that by my southern neighbors all the time!!
I don't see the wheels, stolen already?
Yea, but that's harmless....I just don't expect to come home to a cross burning on my lawn ;D
Yea, but that's harmless....I just don't expect to come home to a cross burning on my lawn ;D
Has that happened here? 🤔🤔 I think it has happened in piedmont or Pelzer. 🤔🤔🤔
Had a problem with some dude in a truck...snatched his stupid Confederate flag off his truck...think I still have it in a box. I'll have to check
nice vince how many steel beams? i think your in good shape u got the 6mil plastic looks like a well done prefab house, how much was it
A very busy time, that's for sure. Having to use my vacation time for this....lol. But packing has actually been pretty quick. A few more things and it will be ready for the movers.
Congrats on the new home. Are you moved in yet?
I hope to one day have a place, half as nice as yours. :'(
Go into a Clayton Homes dealership and get started.

There isn't one near me. :(
Where do you live???
Clovis, NM
Damn....that's really out there.
Clovis, NM
Clovis, NM
What do the people do for fun on a daily basis?
There really is nothing to do here, besides eke out a living. There's a couple of shooting ranges, that are good for an afternoon. Other than that, you have to drive for anything fun. There are several ski slopes within 4-5 hours. I go camping in Cloudcroft every once in a while.
Movers have been called and they will be dropping off my.trashhome furnishings on Wednesday.
Were you born and raised there or were you in the Air Force or something to be out in Clovis??? I know its mostly farmland
.
Home gym in the making hopefully ?
Not really, just an elliptical and my Total Trainer although I'll prob get rid of it for a Bowflex.
Assault Bike - check it out. Its a killer.how about he gets his fat ass out & runs.
how about he gets his fat ass out & runs.
I don't know if his knee joints could handle running at this point. Running sucks ass.you run..you fit.
you run with weight on your back...you soldier. you run with me ...fit man.
If i trained him he would not just lose weight but change his outlook on life.
I think a big draw back is he is stubborn and tends to think he knows what he's doing and doesn't listen when people give him solid advice. I'm sure he knows quite a bit and I like his confidence but sometimes we all need to take a step back and realize we could use some help. Never stop learning!
I've taken a break from any serious training to heal up from some injuries. I would only care if I was still competing. I'm still in pretty decent shape. The area I've moved to has plenty of open fields and space for so I'll start back jogging as well as biking.

No issue with the gap, just the rest of his grill and where his mouth has been over the years.

Final inspection is done, washer and dryer from my "Orginal Fuck That Shit" Thread have been unhooked from the apartment. Movers will be over tommorrow at 9am to haul everything to the new place

Bump for new pics

Oh boy....... ::)
I go out to home and I notice that Duke Energy has not ran the lines to my property. I call them up and they gave me the typical union bullshit. I have to wait until April 9th before they will send a work crew out there to run power. At least I have running water so I'll go ahead and have everything unpacked and put away but stay in a hotel for a couple of days. I'll also go ahead and stain both decks at once as well since I won't be needing to walk on them for a few days....lol.
I was going to stain them in a red cedar but I ran a quick test and it looked fake as fuck. Instead I'm going with Honey Gold which really brought out the wood.
On the bright side, I got my last check from Google for 114.00 for all of the Youtube videos I ran before they changed the Youtube Partner Program thanks to that ass wipe Logan Paul
Just curious, what is the typical union bullshit? ???
Not having to deal with repercussions or keeping your word. There is no reason for any need of over 10 business days to run a line and put in a meter
Oh boy....... ::)

What about buying a generator off of craigslist. It would be cheaper than a hotel for 2 weeks. Once they hook up the electricity, you can resell the generator. Just a thought.

Everything is now moved in. Dresser and chest are a bit wobbly as expected since its particleboard but it only requires about 10 bucks of gorilla glue and some tacks yo fix up. Called a cab so I can head back to clean up the apartment and get my Jeep Cherokee. I should actually have everything unpacked and put away today and then I'll head to the hotel. I've decided to get Dish Flex and a Mifi for my house as I confirmed that there is no cable or DSL so why waste the money
Are you saying charter won't even come out and hook up your cable or internet? 🤔🤔🤔 how deep in the woods are you? 🤔🤔🤔
Wouldn't it be possible to just stay ay home without the electrical power for a week or so and shower as needed at the gym?
I've lived under primitive conditions on the side of Mt Fuji for six weeks and managed to survive during the coldest part of wnter and my brother -in-law and his kids get lost in the High Sierras for a week or more as soon as the snow levels make it possible.
Congrats on your new residence, Vince!

If the dresser and chest have locking caps on the fasteners (and they probably do) then you can take anything with a flat blade to tighten them. They become loose over time, and defintitely if moved around a lot.
I don't like that a lot of furniture today is made with furniture grade MDF. -Stuff weighs a ton and comes with all sorts of issues, such as the difficulty making repairs that are easy with solid wood. On the plus side, it is good for people who move a lot in that you can disassemble it and ship it flat....modern day campaign furniture.
I have four bookcases from Dania which are mostly MDF. I was moving one of them out from the wall without unloading the books and dam if part of it didn't break right were the cam is. -Might as well throw it out.
My cabinet maker uses plywood with a maple skin on both sides that comes prefinished for the boxes. The trim, door and drawer fronts are solid alder which I had painted to match the millwork throughout the house, with the exception of the island, which is made from quarter sawn white oak and stained with a clear finish. So it wouldn't look like the rest of the cabinets and more like a piece of furniture.
You buy what you can with the money you have. It works and tha5s all that matters

Exactly. However, that it doesn't last, makes it a poor investment. In the long run, you'll pay more in replacements. On the other hand, quality well made used furniture not only costs less, it will also endure for a very long time. My wife and I started out with hand-me-downs and and garage sale stuff. There are many ways to save money.
I buy my furniture on style. My dresser and nightstand are very durable....its just doesn't do well in shipping and moving. But I won't be moving for a very very long time...if ever again. I've put back the tacks in the backboard and its fine now

love the way Vince talks like he's an actual human with a real career
When in reality he lives in a fucking trailer, drives a piece of shit beater, makes 15000 a year if that, and takes it up the ass from an ugly white guy
ouch

My GF has been on a mid century modern kick lately. This shit is about 70 years old, and once refinished looks new.
Ugh. Might as well go to Ikea, Walter Gropey-buns.ikea is modern, mid century modern is different. But anyway, fuck teak,, give me metal and glass anyday.

All things mid century are both popular and can be fairly expensive. There are some formed teak plywood dining room chairs with metal legs what came from my parents. My daughter uses them now. They look a lot like these only they are teak, which has more figuring.Sweet. Don’t show my gf she will cut you for teak. ;D

The fact that little boys now do 'glamour shoots' for magazines dressed in ladies clothes is a damning indictment of just how far the West has fallen.Child abuse, plain and simple.

Parker is everything okay?Everythig is ok. It's just that I'd rather see Vince do well, in his new home, but that means he has to change his ways. Vince is like 40+, so he is a grown man, and a grown man has to have his head about him. This was possibly his biggest purchase, as homes usually are for most people. I don't want to see him go under, or have un-necessary drama. All that stuff before with tires, and issues with the electric, etc, was his own fault. Plan ahead, pay attention. Get a good burglar alarm system, don't cheap out on things, especially if the area that you live in has issues with crime.
You've been taking Goodrum out to the wood shed lately.
Well, I wake up today from my couch......
Sounds like Goodrum is experiencing an annus horribilis!Sounds like Melvin’s partner made him sleep on the couch, becuase melvin waits by the door and hope burglars come to his house. Melvin is such a slut.

Can you not afford charter? If you live in piedmont, well, charter may not wanna come out to "one of those areas" 🤔🤔 It's like $175 a month. Is the trailer leaking with all this rain were getting?
Why get Charter when I get over 30 free channels over the air in addition to having SlingTV, Hulu, and Amazon Prime??? Do I fucking need anything else. Why pay 175 a month when I can just pay 30 bucks?
And why are you tripping on my house?? I'm loving this place...its clean, nice, and quiet out here
Piedmont is not a "nice" area. If you have to sleep on the couch to avoid burglars, it's not a "nice" place. It's cool to be a cheap ass. I semi respect that. I just thought ya might have aimed higher and got a good house off Lauren's road, Woodruff road or maybe even in cheap ass Simpsonville or five Forks. I guess it all depends on what suits each individual, right. I do need to know which Moe's you ruined that man's home with because sometimes coworkers eat there and I have to warn them from ever entering that facility. :o :o
I propose we rename this thread:

Getting the place finished and touched up. Bought another 40in TV as I moved the other one in my office space. 199.99 at Sam's Club.
I also changed my mind in getting Dish or DirectTV. I decided to hook up an cheap antenna for a temporary measure and got 4 channels initially...however when I put it at the window, I got 26 channels. So I went and got the Mohu Leaf combo pack at Sam's Club and ended up with 37 channels. So I'm just going to use The antenna and SlingTV
I also decided to get two barstools instead of loveseat to keep the room open. I should get my solar lights for the driveway tommorrow....having to wait on staining the deck due to rain
;D
Vince, I do have some concerns with you dating someone half your age. That's creepy.
That was only when the house had no power I slept on the couch. But my neighborhood is nice and quiet. Simpsonville is too far from work as well as Five Forks. Piedmont is a great location and best of all, I'm just a short drive from the White Horse Flea Market which I'll do a video
Why buy a 200k house that I don't need??? Why spend 175 dollars on channels I never watch??? This has nothing to do with being cheap....this is simply all about having the things to enjoy life without overdoing it.
Why propose a thread title that's not funny, original, or better than the current one?
Wasn't at my place that day ..just a reflection of outside
I know all about rain. For the next couple of weeks Portland humidity hovers are 94% and rain about 80%. Yesterday, the back yard looked underwater and I live on a hill where drainage should not be a problem.
Damn, I wish I could cut back on my home entertainment expenses. I pay Xfinity-Comcast almost $230. (a discounted rate), a month for cable, Internet and phone, (land line). The channel lineup is more than I can possible watch. The premium channels have more repetition than the networks. In addition I pay for a couple of services like Netflix and Here TV. Oh, and then there's Pandora for tunes. Although I have Amazon Prime, it doesn't work with my television's Internet platform, which is Google.
Your barstools are very mod and solid looking. Is there anyway you could move your couch forward a little in order to gain more space behind the stools? I used to have a similar garbage can at the end of the old island. Fortunately, the cabinet maker was able to incorporate garbage and recycling into a pull-out next to the sink. This adds counter space and doesn't really take up any more floor space. If you ever redo your kitchen, you could do the same thing at the end of your peninsula. You'd need one more bar stool, if you did.
Do you ever lay on the couch? If not, sometimes four club chairs and no couch works better and is more flexible, specially when they swivel.
What's your plan for window coverings? Fabric shades or blinds are often a good choice and cost less than others do. The also help to keep the room looking uncluttered. These cost more, but the bottom up top down blinds are the most adaptable. You can get these ready made in a various sizes for less than custom made. Since there's nothing special about the trim around your windows, it won't matter if you cover it up.
You will decorate however it suits you. My advice isn't meant as direction; it is merely to offer you possibilities you might not have thought about yet.
I use Tramontina trash cans. Expensive but worth it in durability and style. I'm not cutting back on entertainment....just not spending money on stuff I don't use. as far as the windows are concerned, I'm just getting some cheap Project Source Blinds from Lowes put in.....no need for anything fancy.
Getting things together but I had to make a few changes due to smaller living room...rather than getting a loveseat, these two barstools will provide extra seating when needed

Always hating on other black folks for doing good things and not being on welfare and food stamps....get lost spook
???I didn't know tornados only blew down black peoples homes....
No that's my concern because I know many people that lost their homes/lives in the 2011 tornado outbreak. Many people in my home state lost everything due to the disaster. People in trailers didn't stand a chance. This isnt fake news. I dont understand where being black or on welfare and food stamps got to do with my statement.
I didn't know tornados only blew down black peoples homes....
Seriously Vince, who is that in the reflection? I see a big beer/bear belly, and a foot with a white sock. Are you homewreckin again? ???

Those three stools are for me, Henda, Fitness Frenzy and Las Vegas, but since you only have three stools, it looks like Fitness Frenzy will have to sit on Henda's lap.

great thread! hats off to you for actually getting sht done. don't listen to the faggets and naysayers on here ,most of them ain't got and don't do sht. i love everything to do with property and home improvements. i just spent about 30k gbp doing some work on my old house. redecorated throughout. parquet flooring in hallway, new kitchen with granite worktops and quartz stone floor. new carpet on stairways and all upstairs rooms. fitted wardrobes and all new bedroom furniture. fitted the wardrobes in master bedroom myself .well they’re ikea wardrobes but i put them in a frame and plaster boarded around it.
still have a bit to do and still quite a bit of stuff in boxes as not all bedroom furniture has been delivered yet and waiting for new sk size bed.
good luck with your new place. sure you will get it looking great.
That’s a great idea wish id thought of that currently doing my daughters bedroom fitted wardrobes in the alcoves and built the studwork frame and plastered them but still need to fit the insides out and fit doors, would be finished the bastards now using your way
yeh i stumbled on the idea while looking at a few things on internet. the wardrobes are actually in front of a chimney breast and two alcoves, so lost a bit of space with it but the room is 20ft + long anyway so didn't really matter. was really pleased how it turned out.
In my previous home I was able to create built-ins, such as cupboards and book shelves, by having them fabricated at an unfinished furniture store, using stock items selected from their catalog. All I was left doing was making face-frames and doors where desired and then finishing the surfaces, which I painted. Unlike Ikea products, these quasi-custom built units were all wood with no MDF. When completed, they looked as if they'd been installed when the house was built.
For whatever reason, I didn't do this in my current home yet, but I may when I turn one of the bedrooms into an office. Anyone ever built a wall-bed? I'm thinking about replacing the current bedstead with one to save floor space as an option the occasional guest.
Haha I don’t mind that but can’t we take turns?
One of the three stools is a metal garbage can....this begs the question, who will sit on the garbage? ;D
I would be honoured to. And while we have some beers Goodrum can cook up a protein rich meal, while the battle for the Olympia 2002 DVD plays on his TV.
Got the washer and dryer hooked up....had to change the dryer cords over to a 4 prong since its a new home. I'm also getting DishTV since I found that that they have a Welcome Pack for 22.99 a month. I can get rid of SlingTV and reserve more of my data for other things. My entertainment expenses of course will go from 35 a month to 37.99 but I can live with that
Hoping Goodrum will polish his bodybuilding trophies in front of us.

What the hell is going on with the channel?
Ok guys....not any updates in a while so here we go....
Office is about put together....I've lined the driveway with solar lights....deck needs another 2 weeks before its ready to be stained. Staying home tommorrow as I have blinds being put in along with DISH Network coming to set up service. Bedroom is complete and I'm about to finish up the office. I'm ordering more solar lights for the back door and will have the driveway pours all the way to the stairs to allow more visitors.

I'm moving a number of videos private. I'll explain it in a few days on a new video I created. I actually have 4 unreleased videos I made but I had to shelve them.

Dish TV came today and put everything in. Dish is mounted on the roof and cables are running under the house. Intertherm came in to check on the heat pump and furnace and make some adjustments. Went to sign off and pay for mini blinds and installation. Lowes had some Bali blinds pulled and I said hell no to that....while they were only 50 dollars per blind, I'm not spending that type of money on something I'm going to hardly use...especially since I'll be getting curtains later to keep the temperature down during the hot summer. Good old Project Source off the shelf is good enough for this. Dex Station should be in tommorrowLast thing somebody as unmotivated as you need is dish tv.

Several years ago during the last financial crisis we urged Melvin to acquire one of those houses for almost free. He declined the suggestion.
Then he was going to live off the grid. Then buy a Jaguar. This dude doesn't think clearly and bullshits all day long.
Got the blinds put in......just got off the shelf Project Source mini blinds. You get a contractors price at Lowes when you buy more than 5. I got all of them cord free which allows me to pull them up and down by hand as if they are some shades.
Extension cable arrived for my DEX station so I'll have a computer that I can use as much data as needed. I have a microwave cart coming in to free up my space on the counter for my knives and canisters. I'm also have a storage shed put in next week. I have to wait though for some free and clear weather to finally stain the deck.
Nice, looking forward to YouTube video tour of the house :)
Whatever happened to the idea of living in a yurt?
what is this thread about???

Basically it is about Melvin's poor life choices and finances. Instead of realizing that he is poor and can't afford nice quality items, Melvin says e.g.: "30.000 dollars for a Lexus? Fuck that shit, I've got X idea, which is cheaper (and worse".
Nice, finally uploading new YT vids.

I'm sure you're a millionaire....lol
Is that a 2018 Jaguar in the driveway?
Still not stained the deck I bet? Why’s your specie so lazy?
Get a very strong lock on that storage shed. I have a feeling that people will be trying to break into it. Also, have you gotten an alarm system? If you haven't, don't cheap out on one.
I have one but not monitored....window and door alarms along with motion sensors. Only thing I have to worry about however are deer running out in the road along with other animals. Its a very quiet subdivision
Vince, how is the relationship with the new guy going?
Plus he's half your age, weirdo!
We were dating but nothing came of it. He's still in college and lives in Boone.

Never stained a deck before obviously. The deck was newly built so you can't apply stain to it until it ages a little bit ..otherwise it will come off.
He was 21..so what if he was half my age?? Nothing weird about that..he liked older muscle guys
Vince, you have obviously seen pics of Chaos. Is he your type to date?
No Vince, you stain it right away, it’ll bleed a bit, that’s normal. Then you stain it again 3 months later.
I've never cared much for chaos but I respect him for his ruthlessness and pwnings he's delivered over the years at jackasses and scalpers

Nope, the Ford Taurus. Even though I got a promotion and raise recently, I still want to have everything settled with the home first before I get a new car which is almost done

It makes a beautiful scene, Vince. Very peaceful.
yeas it does, of course until one lovely morning Vince is enjoying his cofee on his deck and an obnoxious Missouri accented voice yells from across the yard, "HEY TINY TITS! i JUST MOVED HERE FROM ST LOUIS!"
Is somebody going to backfill that mountain of dirt at some point?
This may be a good place to ask this question ....
Friends have building a summer/winter cabin in the Lake Tahoe area.
Theey have been running into similar situations somewhat like Vince but on a much more expensive level.
Thei main problem is 'making good decisions'. Money is not a problem. (Far from it.)
This summer/winter retreat has or will have state of the art security, heated floosr, heated driveway, computer controlled lighting, etc.
They can control the lovk on the front door, the garage doors, and all the lights within the house with a simple app on their cell phone which could be thousands of miles from the lake.
Now it's time to furnish the place. It's a log cabin design so they are outfitting it with expensive log-type furnature which sure ain't cheap.
They are open to suggestions regarding each of the four bedroom mattresses. (Not the old fashion type.)
I suggested THE PURPLE simply because I like their ad and have heard from reliable sources that the Purple is comfortable and does not cause overnight sweating as most other foam-type mattresses seem to do.
Any suggestions regarding the best mattress on the market today would be appreciated-.

Vince, do you still have that Jeep or did you sell it? Any plans for offroading it?
It makes a beautiful scene, Vince. Very peaceful.
Many gay men don't have the same hangups regarding age differences as straight folks do. It should be obvious that his "friend" isn't looking for a sugar daddy....but probably a daddy never-the-less.Your use of the word hangup is not untroubling.
Your use of the word hangup is not untroubling.
Still have it and currently driving it for the week. Already did some off-roading with it.
So where do you park it? Photo would help.
You live in a warehouse. ;D
You claim you have two cars. How hard is it to post a photo of them parked outside your fancy dwelling?
Post your warehouse.
Not everyone is foolish enough to post photos of where they live. Especially here on Getbig.
You boasted you had a Jeep and used it for business. I called bullshit. So where is it?
By the way, you spent all you had plus got into debt big time. You won't be buying another car for years.
Spent all my money???...please explain
My mistake. I forgot you had a windfall of cash, jewels, etc. when you hit 40. Should be able to get that Jaguar now!
You live in a fucking warehouse
that would b awesome.. u can get shit done in a warehouse
That's no place for someone that is pushing 100. ;D
Seems to me you should have purchased a small warehouse/factory. If you had a pickup truck you could find plenty of good stuff to store there until the flea market.
My place is filled with my old gym equipment. Should be great once I get everything sorted out.
Does Vince Basile really live in a warehouse? ??? ??? ??? ???

You are a fucking idiot. You should have donated that pink pile of contraptions instead of spending your last years sorting out that shit. I feel sorry for your wife, ROZ.......having to spend her last years with a looney so obsessed salivating over his shitty gym equipment that he would live in a fucking warehouse. How could you be so selfish and move your wife into a warehouse??? You can't take it with you.
When Leroy Colbert retired, you think he kept all of his fucking supplements in his apartment??? Vince Basile, you are a fucking idiot. Get rid of that shit and move yourself and your wife into an actual home .
Update. I have been divorced for almost 20 years. Ex lives in the family home. I am here a few days each week.
Basile can live in a warehouse if he wants. I can't understand why people are so concerned about this issue.
How did this blood feud start ? Have you two ever met in person ?
Its quite obvious that the feud between Vince B and Vince G was started by Vince B.
For the most part, Vince Goodrum, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, leaves people alone. He just posts stuff about his life. And people like Vince Basile rag on him, so Vince pushes back. When Vince G pushed back, Vince Basile cried about it. Vince Basile can dish it out, but he cannot take it back.
Still have it and currently driving it for the week. Already did some off-roading with it.
What we have here is a failure to communicate. I have challenged Goodrum in the past to post a photo of this mysterious Jeep. So far we have nothing.
On the last page he asserted that my family lived in a warehouse. I stated that they live in the family home. I have been divorced since 1999. He said I am lying.
Well folks, that is why I have been calling out this buffoon for over a decade. He bullshits all day long and also fabricates stuff about others. I tell the truth and he doesn't believe me!
Vince B, if it helps any I have found that integrity and facts are almost irrelevant on GetBig. Trying to gain support by pointing out someone is full of crap and not reliable in their statements is a waste of time. It is what it is
Because justice is bigger than that one call. Because Police are supposed to be professionals. Because there are supposed to be good guys {cops} and bad guys, {car jackers} and because whether you are emotionally pissed or not citizens rights have been litigated in courts and whether you or I or the cop on the street agrees with it, the system works so much better when cops remain inside that agreed upon parameter. As a cop of 34 years there were many times I personally felt a scum bag deserved way more at the point of capture than the courts would likely give them but because I believe in the system of justice, refrained from meting out what I thought was due. Thats what the citizens pay for, that's what is expected.
How many years were you on the force before you retired?
about 24
You are a coach. I am a 34 year investigator. Continue...

I know how some use the internet in devious ways. Goodrum knows if he repeats something enough times some people (most) will believe it must be true.
There is no test of truth for the internet and this goes for Getbig.
Now how do we find out if there is an ice machine outside Room 7 at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas?
I miss the days when obvious trolls were shown the door. This has become like one of those parties where people bring their 5 year olds because they can't afford a babysitter and while adults are trying to have a conversation they keep running through the living room knocking over the plants and spilling their juice on the rug. Parents {mods} need to step up once in awhile
I do have some awesome friends that happen to be homosexual.

Bump yourself out of my thread, asswipe.....always talking shit about me.
I would not waste my time talking about you dumb ass, you're nobody.
Good, then dont post in my threads
or what?
The instigator for this shit was Basile. Hes always on Goodrum. Its a entertaining one though!
What if you could not perform, wouldn't you want your women to be satisfied ?Hmmm. Good question. Let's ask UKGold.
Bullshit. A decade ago I felt sorry for hapless Goodrum. There he was the laughing stock of Getbig after posting his photo here. Previously he was boasting and posturing like a bodybuilding expert and industry insider. People demanded to see what he looked like. Things changed after the poolside photo was posted. He became the resident delusional buffoon.
Another shot from that set:Definitely natural :-X

I'm very happy for Vince G. A good farkin' dude. I think he looks great in the pool-side pics (no homo), not everyone is gassed to the gills and shredded. He lives (and loves) the lifestyle, and yes, he even lifts.
I am going to visit Vince G one day, or have him come up to the AOBS weekend in NJ sometime. (I bring DMass with me each year). (Mastorakis).
Lots of legends show up. Had dinner w/ Don Reinhoudt, Dennis Rogers, David Prowse (Darth Vader), Ken Patera, Dave & Laree Draper, Boyer Coe, etc.
SF1900, I'd like him to meet me there one year. Another good dude...
And of course Fortress (would like to see him there), who is actually sort of a legend in the Iron Game. Basile should show up also.
Basile, how is it stimulating to you to continue these Vince Wars after so many years of conflict between you and Melvin?Maybe this is keeping him alive?
You are old, and I think it would be better for your blood pressure, and your overall health, to focus more on healthy and positive activities.
Maybe this is keeping him alive?
Meh, "good dude" might be a stretch. ;D

What a nasty prick you are. Ignorant as well. At the moment I am keeping it for my personal use.
Depends...may use Sam's Club depending on installation cost. Don't need a large space but I still have to maintain sales receipts and invoices for my business along with other paperwork, Still raining so I can't stain the deck but put down some red rubber mulch in between the walkway and deck to keep weeds from growing.
That ought to smell great in the blazing heat.

You keep it for your personal use because everyone else recognized the absolute absurdity of the bicep supination machine.
SF1900, are you even daring to imply that if you were training in an Australian gym while on your worldly travels and a fat, sweaty 93 year old man who up until now had been lurking in the dark corners of the gym taking uninvited photos of you accompanied by strange erotic grunting as he does so, then shambled up to you offering you the best bicep workout of your life on his secret machine out in the back room and flexed his fat saggy elephant skin arm to validate his claim, you wouldn’t even be just a tiny bit impressed and intrigued??

Okay, you got me! I would be quite impressed by Mr. Basile's biceps and his bicep supination machine.
I emailed Dave Palumbo and asked him if he knew about Vince Basile and his exact response was, "Don't know him very well. Just know who he is." :D :D I then asked Mr. Palumbo if he knew that Mr. Basile picked his own judges and he responded with, "I don't know all the details." :D :D

Odd to have a small child in a cage isn't it? :-\
what are your plans for the Weekend, VVV?
So is it safe to assume Vince won’t be doing the Ruby this year?
Took today off work to go back to Whitey's Auto Auction for a luxury vehicle. I've decided to donate my Jeep to Miracle Hill Ministries for a nice tax write-off in addition to the money I'll get from buying a new home. Last time I went on Thursday but the best days are Tuesday. I was going to Livestream it but its not allowed however I will post some videos on Youtube for the process.SMH, you don’t go to a backwoods auto auction like Whitey’s for a “luxury vehicle”.

2002 Cadillac Deville DHS
Not bad.
What's the mileage?
118k, waiting in the office for a bid confirmation but got it for 650 dollars if its accepted
Lol 650?
Congratulations. I've always liked the DHS. It's roomy and they drive nice.
I take it the check engine light on that Cadillac is another detail a busy self-made entrepreneurial success story like you has little time to worry about. After all, that busted washer/dryer set you bought from a low budget laundromat makes weird knocking noises and don't clean or dry well, but they work, right?
So fix the regulators. It's like $200 and I'm sure a 2002 still have parts on ebay, otherwise you can buy a universal electric window set online set for less than a hundred bucks. I suggest you replace those parts with aftermarket components and get it serviced ASAP if you intend to drive this thing another 6 months because a radiator's no joke.
Washer and Dryer work just fine...no knocking noises. I drove the Cadillac around and off the lot prior to the bid. It has a check engine light on but its due to needing radiator fluid along with a new battery and gas. The main issue is the windows which are acting funny. However remember that the amount I paid for the vehicle was 650 dollars so even if I spend 1000 bucks fixing it up, it doesn't matter. I have no car payments or financing so I can do whatever I wish with the car.

Gad! I feel so overwhelmed by the genius that is Vincent Van Schmoe...131 'n' sheit. All kidding aside, you do have a pleasant voice, V³ but like the old joke goes, a face for radio.

Waiting for the full video Vince!!
Judging by that clip alone (and never ever been on Getbig), one would never imagine the owner of that voice would look like Sylvester. :D

Vince, what is your current diet like?? I knew you were overweight but it seems like you have put on significantly more fat. The biggest shock was your skin condition. You really need to clean up your diet for health and longevity. Not trying to be a dick, just keeping it real.
Posted it yesterday. Visit the channel. Its 30 minutes long

Vince, how many miles on the Caddy (I couldnt tell), keep doing vids as you waste your money fixing up the car, keeping us posted.FTFY
And more longer vids like that please. (Some workout vids, some (more) food shopping, etc.
FTFY

Plan for shelling out a lot more. Because you got a hooptie. Ain’t nobody touching those things other than drug dealers and 70 year olds who are going to bible study or back and forth from the grocery store and the retirement home.
There is 118k miles on the Caddy. Its in the shop right now and as I figured, I'm going to need window regulators for 3 of the windows which is 1150 dollars with labor although Fishers will cut me a deal since I bring them a lot of business along with my own. I'm also going to replace all 4 tires instead of just the busted tire to insure a nice smooth ride. A full tune up is going to be done and afterwards it will be my turn as I'm going to wash, detail, and do some color correction on the car to bring everything out. Once its done, I'll do a special cruising video. Ultimately, I want to put about 2000 bucks into the car which may sound like a lot but its a write-off on my taxes as its going to be my vehicle for business trips and engagements.....that will be on the next videos.
I already have some workout videos and one of me grocery shopping but they were not too popular. But I'm going to branch out and do other stuff.

I tak good care of my stuff ....and since I used to sell steroids...I guess I fit the drug dealer profile ;D
I've dropped a significant amount of weight since I started dieting down to compete again. I've been out in 100 degree weather in a field checking cars....lol

You can tell by my post history that I've taken a cock or ten. Never tried a black fella like you though. Maybe I could help you break in the back seat of that car of yours by having you break in mine.
PM me if you want.

Alright folks, just got the call.. 1800 bucks is the total to fix...2 window regulars, coolant leak, and radiator. It should be done by Friday. I'll pick it up Friday, get a new tire and have it detailed

How much for a new tire? Why not replace all four?
You still here baby hands?

Those cadilacs are cheap. Looked it up. Lots of low mileage ( like 110.000) 2002 models for $3500 or less. In europe 250.000 miles on a car is normal. In usa lower milage before the car is at the end of technical life cycle?There cheap for a reason. Those Model Caddys appealed to the Baby Boomers and older who grew up on Land Yacht Lincoln and Caddys. In terms of ride quality (on American roads), they are superior to Euro cars like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or Jag of the same vintage. They soak up bumps and pot holes due to the soft suspension. That is why they are called Land Yachts. They ride like boats. Now, as far as everything else. They are not impressive. This model Caddy is FWD as well. The main customers were older folks and Livery drivers.

Get off my thread
That's exactly what I want. When I'm driving up the mountain back home to Asheville or somewhere else, I just want to cruise the highways in comfort. This model isnt that big compared to others but it'll do
All the repairs were completed however there was some skipping in the vehicle when the acceleration test was ran at the garage. Apparently the ignition coil is beginning to go bad and causing a misfire on 2 of the cylinders very infrequently. Not a major issue but rather than fucking around with it and since its already opened up, I went ahead and had that completely replaced which is around 500 bucks. After tires, I will almost be into the Cadillac on repairs for about 3000 bucks which by far is the most I've ever spent on auto repairs
Normally if I was selling the vehicle, I would have only gotten the 2 front window regulators fixed, ignored the air conditioning and ignition coil, put on one used tire, and have it worked on by some illegals with cheap aftermarket parts would have been about 800 bucks instead and sold the vehicle for about $2999 and made a profit of about 1400 bucks. That is generally what is done at most used car dealerships as the only thing they do is get the vehicle running to where someone would not notice the issues with the vehicle. However, this will be my personal vehicle so I wanted the job done right which is why I go to Fisher's Garage so all of the repairs are now certified and warrantied with quality American parts. It should be finished tomorrow to which I will go and pick up. Then I'm going to polish and detail the vehicle on Saturday and then we are going to go cruising the block.
Stick around however, we'll be buying more cars soon

Odd word for you to keep using, cocklover.i own you, pussy.

You think about him offline.
Well, because of the pending hurricane, went ahead and quickly compounded the hood and roof of the car to get rid of the oxidation and grime so it now looks good although with a slight haze due to time constraints. Didn't have any Megiurs wax to protect it but I had some Formula 2001 so I slapped some on for now to protect it as after compounding a vehicle, its basically unprotected. After the storm passes, I'll properly get it finished.
Also when I checked the spare tire, I found 3 of the tire center caps but I'm going to compare them to the generic ones I ordered
Vince, relax, its a 600 dollar car. Why do you find it necessary to put every second of your day on this forum, when in reality it is useless info. Do you have some underlying need to feel wanted and like you matter? I dont understand people who put their daily life on forums and social media. No one cares. Shut up and live your life
Yet here you are commenting on it.
where did I write paragraphs describing my daily goings on? There is a huge difference between my commenting and him tellingh is every move on a forum. sorry you cant distinguish that difference

Looks good, Melvin. How will you restore the headlights?
https://procarmechanics.com/what-causes-headlights-to-turn-yellow-and-foggy/ (https://procarmechanics.com/what-causes-headlights-to-turn-yellow-and-foggy/)
There's very little oxidation on it so an ammonia based product should do the trick
Vince, how many dates are you going to pick up that ride?!?

Vince, you might as well use those wheels to get a date.
.
So today I removed the remaining oxidation with Meguirs Polishing Compound and then applied the first coat of Meguirs Cleaners Wax....quite possibly the best stuff ever made. Meguirs turns any car into mirrors with ease, always love using this shit. Added on the center caps also.
Going to do some color correction, remove the water spots, and restore the headlights but here is the car now. Nothing beats driving American

No, because we were together from 2007-2014 when it was illegal, just a life partner ceremony. He is married to the other person.

Would you be so kind to share pics of your "life partner ceremony" so we can appreciate your relationship ?Are you kidding? He sent chaos, Ron, and Princess L notifications to beg them to take down my thread about his bug-eyed ex from Facebook. And the morons kowtowed to him, as usual, and nuked it. It was a perfectly legitimate thread and Vissy doesn't post here, nor are they involved anymore, so there was no reason to remove it.
Ok douchecanoe, whatever you say. I said she changed in 2009 after our daughter was born. I didn't leave because I thought it was better to stay and be a good dad and put up with her nonsense. After so long I had enough and then decided to leave. You know what, most your posts I enjoy and agree with your political stances. You've been a real ass hat lately to various posters for no reason. Lay off the tren or meth/Coke or whatever it is you are doing. It makes your good political posts sour and you just look unhinged.
I agree with 99 percent of what kwon says that's why I said he's fucking with the wrong person. He should stick to fucking with liberal dorks like you.

Fuck getbig. It's a shadow of what it was when anything went. Now liberal democraps are in charge led by the double-chinned slob who keeps PMing me to tone it down with the aggression but doesn't even know what the hell he's referring to when I point out there's nothing illegal or unnacceptable about mocking Phil Heath's girlfriend's meltdown or laughing at Vince B's hypothetical headstone. Fuck Ron and fuck the mods. (Well, not OMR. He's a cool penis Popsicle pilferer.)
I told Ron that if he kept deleting my threads and changing mine and other peoples' titles, I'd move onto some other forum because he doesn't deserve the traffic I generate nor the spirited debate my threads create in this and the politics forum. Granted, I realize nobody gives a fuck about either of those things, but I'm not obligated to post here, either. So, guess I'm done then.
That, and this post kinda got to me. I think he's right. The similarities are unmistakable and I'll admit I was wrong in both cases.

Well the washer died so we are headed to another used appliance outlet
Who is the boyfriend?
We need pics and info ASAP!
Why assume there is just one boyfriend? Vince is more than capable of satisfying a herd.
Died how? Sure it doesn't just need a $2 part?
Well the washer died so we are headed to another used appliance outlet
Did you check YouTube Vince for symptoms/repairs? I fixed the dryer recently with a 20.00 part thanks to YouTube.
The washer/dryer is now 21 years old, bought when I moved houses back in 1999 (the house before this one).
Time to get rid of 'em now though, they served their purpose. Time for a new set. Why go used, can get 1 of each, brand new for like 1K total? (500.00 each).
Wait - you paid $145 for repair on a 30 year old washer??? I just bought my wife a new set and gave a tenant our old ones. They were 5 years old and I wouldn’t have paid $150 bucks to repair. I think you can get pretty decent ones for 5-600 bucks man.
Actually I was about to buy a new washer when someone told me about this guy out in Piedmont who fixes them. Drove out to his place, huge Trump supporter. Had a sign out there to make sure to honk or be considered trespassing. Came over at 8 with a big old Trump/Pence button but he had it fixed in 2 hours...it was some sort actuator switch that was broken that kept the washer from sending the signal to the pump for water. Chit chatted and apparently he takes a ton of Hi-Tech Pharm products along with Redcon1. Total was 145 for the repair. Only had 100 in cash but told me just to leave the rest in the green refrigerator on his porch...after I honk the horn. I also found out that my washer and dryer were built in 1990....30 years old!!!

How did you get the water out in order to load the washer onto your vehicle to drive it on over to Piedmont?
Repairman came over to my house...
Was he paid in kielbasa?
think for a moment, that after the homewrecker had Goodrum jizz on his lips, he went home and kissed his wife.

That sucks. A relay is just a relay. Sensor voltage opens a path for main voltage. Anything of appropriate specification would have worked fine but, typical of "technicians" these days, all service guys know how to do is swap parts that the manufacturer tells them to use, which cost $3 same as any other part plus $47 for the little sticker glued to it that has the company's name on it

Goodrum, why do you drive a car that has 3 different "check engine" lights on?
Goodrum, why do you drive a car that has 3 different "check engine" lights on?
If you are too poor to repair a broken car (like Goodrum) then you should not be allowed to drive such a broken down car, with check engine lights on. It is unsafe for yourself and others.
It's a older model Cadillac...they are always up there as the sensors go bad and it's a waste to time to replace them. I just keep it regularly serviced
Brand New Construction. Wells Fargo Financed
When the check engine light comes on it could be something as simple as the gas cap not being put on correctly, or a host of other non-serious issues. It could also mean there is something that needs immediate attention. The problem is, how do you know which it is if the sensors are overly sensitive. I have a late model car with nitrogen filled tires. The first year the sensor indicating that the air/nitrogen pressure was low came on a few times immediately after having the car serviced. It was just a faulty sensor which somehow fixed itself.
Both...make double payments and a lump sum at the end....I'll likely pay it off sooner with my business profits. I was going to put 15k down but I would have been under the 50k range. Instead I'll be putting down $2,750 and put the rest in the bank for now. In any event, 556.61 a month for a home is good. The amount also includes setup, delivery, and clearing the land.
Something is off here
Your payment has to include Principal and Interest each month (I'm assuming you have an amortized loan)
To pay off 50,412 in 60 months at 10.42% your P&I payment would have to be ~ 1,082 per month

Do you own the land as well or just the dwelling?
BTW - if you really think you're being charged a higher rate solely due to the color of your skin then you should get yourself a lawyer (no joke). More likely you were charged a higher rate due to credit issue or if this is a mobile home then I would guess those rates are higher than mortgage rates (which are ~ 3.5 to 4% right now)
I appreciate the advice but I'm black, Twaddle. I got the best deal a hebrew could get. The advice you're giving is only suited for white people. I have near perfect credit and made 70k last year but a white person making minimum wage at Burger King who just got out of prison would still have a lower interest rate than me......lol :D
math isnt his strongsuit
actually claims he is paying 10 percent juice because of his skin color.
not because of credit history, or verification of income, or down payment.
fucking cant even tell the truth about the payment.
and is so lazy doesnt realize the figures dont add up
fucking idiot has a bad memory
cognitive decline
fuck
2700 down on 56k shitbox with 10 percent interest?
a guy who claims to use cash, and hates debt and banks and isnt a sucker mc and aint gonna finance shit
didnt you also claim to drop 50k on it all at once? once that post is found will you still be barking about who is owned and a liar?

I wasnt worried about the interest as i paid it in a year's time.
But thanks for acknowledging you were lying and that you're scared of josh
