This is a blog post from the guy who created the “study”
I read the study and it makes a hell of a lot of assumptions without really proving anything. I’m inclined to think the author worked backwards from his preconceived conclusion. It’s not very convincing.
Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....
At the risk of sounding like a shill…Wendy’s biggy bag is an incredible value. $5 for a sandwich, fries, 4 nugs, and a drink.
I eat there like once a month at most but it’s the only fast food I’ll eat besides McDonald’s breakfast when I convince myself I deserve a treat (also like once monthly)
I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
For 4chan screenshots to be interesting at all, they need to be funny, true, or both. This is neither so it wasn’t worth saving let alone posting here.
No, your offer gets accepted and you have 5 business days to have an inspection and back out of the deal. Inspections take a long time and it would interfere with showings
We must be in different countries because this is the standard order of events in the US. Especially in today’s market where houses rarely last a week but it was the same when I bought my condo in 2010
I’m honestly shocked because my mom worked for a real estate office when I was a kid and my cousin is my realtor now and I’ve never even heard of doing an inspection before an offer was accepted. Tour slots are half an hour and my condo inspection took an hour… This inspection took 4. Not to mention both inspections cost several hundred dollars each.
We’re definitely talking about the same thing, right? I’m not talking about inspecting the home yourself (that’s the tour), I mean hiring a professional home inspector to create a report.
You get your earnest money back if you terminate the contract in those 5 days so there’s not much of an advantage to doing the inspection before your offer is accepted.
This was my 5th offer so I would have been out $2000 for 4 houses I was never going to get. There’s also no way to do a radon test during showings because the doors have to be closed so an inspector would have to go back a second time
