    Maybe Monica would buy you out of your portion on the Seattle house and maybe in turn you could buy out her portion of the Palm Springs house? also, what up with the Joshua Tree property?

    Thank you SO much for being aware of the fact that people who own a bunch of rental properties make it harder for others to buy! I think people should have the freedom to own multiple properties if they wish, but it really does make it much harder for lower income earners to ever be able to break into the housing market. Just shedding light and awareness on that fact is so appreciated

      @@mangopeach5079 Exactly. Most people can't afford to buy a house/condo - unless they pay cash - interest rates are over 8% and going higher. Only the Rich could Pay Cash -- like those investor groups, ie, BlackRock, BlactStone, Hedge Funds and the Rich and Famous. Most people can't sell their properties - because they have a low interest rate - and they would be unable to afford to buy another property at over 8% (u do have to qualify for the loan - and banks aren't lending.) The investors shouldn't have been able to purchase most of the foreclosures - in 2009/10/11/12, etc.

    Some tips for A/B testing thumbnails- to run a true test you need to have distinct differences in what you are testing (e.g. text on image or no text on image) so that you have something to learn from. From the quick glimpses of your thumbnail tests it doesn’t look like the images are that different from each other which is why you likely aren’t learning that much from the tests so far

    She's definitely referring to her Tesla and the issues she's having with it. I have a friend who got one of the first Tesla X's (or whatever) when they first came out. And it was so bad that he got them to take it back and enact a lemon law for the car. He had to sign an NDA about it so I don't know all of the details. It's crazy the issues those cars can have and the way that they handle them is just way to much fuss.

    I recommend no bigger than a 55in frame tv! Then surround it by real artwork.
    Your couch is close to where the tv is. 65in will likely be too big. Also, I think the illusion of it being artwork falls when it’s that large.l, especially when you are that close to it!

    Why vest all that money in the Frame TV when you have one in the P.S. House? Which you will be long term renting out soon. Why not just take the Fame TV for you to use and put a regular TV in the P.S. House? By doing that you will save sooooooooo much money! Thought that we were trying to save money here!

    Tv is a long term purchase so buy one that you like even if it costs more. Even if you own half of the property you can still sell it. Just sell it to someone from your family, maybe to the one who wants to keep it. It's still mostly loan anyways.

    Great vlog Shelby! I'm glad you guys found renters for the townhouse, it is a lovely home to live in, although I had thought that Monica was going to still live in it part time. Your new couch looks so nice! I was wondering - are you going to decorate for xmas this year? Does xmas in LA still feel like xmas? Your new apartment is coming together well, and you seem so happy and comfortable there. I myself am also looking at my expenses and budget and seeing what can be cut out, everything is so expensive these days. I wonder if you'd ever consider a collab with Zoe Pritchard? She's a content creator on YT from Montreal and she does a lot of content around budgeting, cash envelopes etc. might be interesting for a future video? I look forward to the next vlog!

    Tennis racket - nice choice. With 103 sq inches, it should be forgiving and powerful, which is great for newer players. Eventually, replace the factory string with a quality multifilament string (do not use a polyester string!). Your local tennis shop will be able to pick one out for you.

    I had a projector at a few homes I had. And one thing I did for a small temp apartment i had was get a tall bookshelf from Ikea that stood over 6 ft tall and placed it on top. it was like $70 at time and was super sturdy. And you can put all your books or cute little stuff in it and place it next to couch and this way you don't have to mount it on wall. and the case hid all the cables. Just a thought for your TV issue. At $70 for a bookcase... its cheaper than mounting gear and wont damage apartment!

    Shelby I live in South Carolina and the tax only goes up from 4% to 6% on a second home. The taxes are nothing so it doesn't discourage us at all from buying multiple places. For example my $545k primary house has only $2,300 a year in taxes. What you should be worried about is how Blackstone and State Street or buying up all the houses. It's not even a fraction of 0.5% of the houses that are Airbnbs. Look up the stats. You should be buying every house you can buy so that these private equity firms do not get them.

    If it has gone up around the 250k exclusion amount you should sell it. Then you can re invest into a new property and parlay that tax free 250k into another 250k exclusion. I have had my place for so long and basically cannot sell it or get hit with capital gains on a lot more. That is until hopefully they put back in the tax code that if you roll the equity into another propety or have back the senior one time capital gains grace.

    • @sterlingmarshel6299

    If the housing market is about to crack, modestly or solidly, it might be a good time to sell despite high interest rate for the cash buyers, before any substantial fade. And it's far to travel to be a landlord. If she wants to hold on to it, she can buy your part. Also 4k to fix the Tesla sounds bad, especially if they messed it up.
    Projector is never really great. You can actually get a 98" TCL tv that's pretty good quality if you want an actual cinema experience :)
