Yesterday, after two years of house hunting on and off, nine offers made, at least 15+ houses seen, my family and I finally were the winning buyers for a new townhouse. Our first home and now the easy part's over. The fun part is figuring out how to pay for it! But man, what a crazy market!
Congrats on your first home purchase! It's a great feeling.
On a related note, I made a career change after 20+ years in the financial industry to go into real estate. I passed my license exam a month ago and shadowed my first open house yesterday. It's scary making a career change in my late forties, but I was never really happy in corporate finance. Trying to find something that I'll be happy doing for the remainder of my work life.
is there a list of what is 5x in stores?
75323 The Justifier
75326 Boba Fett's Throne Room
75332 AT-ST
75338 Ambush on Ferrix
75343 Dark Trooper Helmet
That's correct. And basically a way to give about the same discount in store: 5 times VIP points comes out to about the same as 20% off and double VIP on the rest.
Yes, 20% off a bit better (25% vs 28% off), especially because you pay sales tax on a lower amount and can get cash back. But it's harder to qualify for the GWP and there are limits online.
It's not on Max Profit's list, but the Tie Bomber is 20% off on Amazon. Finally picked one up. They are matching the Best Buy Sale.
