Buying a house is a major decision, and avoiding pitfalls is crucial! Over the years, I've encountered countless pitfalls while buying houses in the Bay Area. I want to share some insights here for anyone who might be looking to buy a house in the future, hoping they can smoothly navigate and find their dream home. (Disclaimer: I'm not a real estate agent, and I'm not trying to advise anyone to buy or not to buy a house. Please refrain from arguing. If you argue, you win.
 


1. When it comes to properties with drawbacks, caution is key:
Many people have already shared advice about avoiding properties near highways, trains, busy roads, power lines, etc., so I won't repeat those points.I want to highlight two things: 1a) If you're considering a house near a highway, it's better if the distance to the highway is at least 1000 feet (300 meters) in a straight line (you can use Google Maps' "Measure Distance" tool by right-clicking, which is quite handy). 1b) When you buy a property with drawbacks, it might be cheaper upfront, but the resale value might also be lower. So, the overall capital gain might not necessarily be lower than that of a property without drawbacks. However, properties with drawbacks are often preferred for investment purposes, especially for renting, as they don't affect your own living quality. Additionally, properties with good transportation accessibility despite drawbacks can actually be easier to rent out. For instance, I have a rental property near a highway, and it's better rented than my other properties without drawbacks.

2. Before buying a house, interview multiple real estate agents:
Based on my personal experience, what suits others might not necessarily suit you. When I was buying a house, a couple of close friends were using the same agent. This agent had a lot of experience, so initially, I thought of using her to save time. However, after talking to her, I realized our buying and investment mindsets were completely different. She advocated for borrowing as much as possible within your capacity, leveraging bank loans to buy the best property in a good school district to preserve value. However, I wasn't comfortable putting all my money into a single property, especially considering the risk of sudden layoffs and being unable to afford the mortgage. Later on, I interviewed five or six agents in succession until I found one whose philosophy aligned well with mine. For instance, if I had $1 million in cash, I'd prefer to split it and buy multiple investment properties, utilizing bank leverage while earning rental income to mitigate risks. I wouldn't put all the money into a top school district property for personal use. Remember, finding an agent who suits you is more important than necessarily going for a "top agent." Top agents might be too busy to prioritize your needs, especially if you're not a major client. At the beginning, I considered a top agent who was too busy to handle my case herself, so she assigned a junior team member to me. However, after speaking with the junior member, I felt I knew more about the market than they did. This experience taught me that selecting an agent isn't about their top-agent status or the volume of transactions in a specific area. I recall a conversation with an agent who suddenly called one evening to ask about the safety and rentability of a certain area in San Francisco. She was about to submit an offer for a client but had no prior experience in that area. I was amazed by this and realized that although she seemed impressive during our previous conversation (a top 2% agent from a major brokerage), I was lucky to receive her call, which helped me avoid a potential pitfall. In the end, everyone has their preferences, and it's important to interview multiple agents to find the one that suits you best.
 
3. The above principles also apply to finding a loan agent.
 
 It's essential to interview several loan agents from different banks. Interest rates vary among banks at different times. Sometimes Bank A might have better rates, and other times Bank B might. You don't need to stick with the bank that provided pre-approval before buying a house. Even though it might not be entirely ethical, I have personally experienced a situation where I got pre-approved by one bank but later found that their rates weren't the best when I finally bought the house. At the time, I was a novice buyer and lacked experience, so I ended up using their loan offer. If I had chosen a different bank's loan, I could have saved 0.25% on the interest rate. Over the years, that would have amounted to significant savings. So, when looking for a loan agent, don't hesitate to interview multiple agents. 
 

 
4. Choose someone you personally know, trust, and who has a good credit history. Don't blindly rely on online reviews or internal company recommendations. 
 
In the past, I had an unfortunate experience when buying a house. I chose a loan agent who had great reviews on a Google internal sheet. This agent promised terms that she couldn't deliver on (such as price matching and additional lender credits). She convinced me to reject offers from other banks and work with her. However, she intentionally delayed telling me until the last week that she couldn't fulfill her promises. She even revealed on the day of the agreed closing date that the initial promised interest rate wasn't achievable. At times like these, some people might give in to the time pressure and accept unreasonable terms. My partner was furious and said they'd rather lose the earnest money than work with her. We quickly found another bank, and thanks to our proactive buyer agent and effective communication with the seller, we closed the deal two weeks late. Despite the delay, we avoided substantial losses. Initially, we could have secured a 3.75% interest rate, but due to the rate increase, our monthly payment ended up higher by nearly a thousand dollars. 
 

 
5. Continuing from the previous point about loan agents, it's crucial to calculate approximate costs, time, and energy for renovating a fixer-upper before buying it. 
 
Budget accordingly, as failing to account for these factors could result in higher total costs compared to buying a move-in ready home. I've previously mentioned the importance of having an agent who understands renovation for buying a fixer-upper, so I won't repeat that here. However, it's important to note that while you can't predict exact renovation costs, they shouldn't vary drastically from initial estimates. My personal experience with my first fixer-upper was quite challenging. The seller had replaced the flooring and repainted the walls before listing, giving the house a decent appearance. My agent at the time wasn't well-versed in renovations and assured me there were no issues. I proceeded with the purchase, but upon having renovation experts assess the property, I realized I had been misled. The seller had used the cheapest wood flooring and left many hidden renovation costs, such as outdated, uninsulated wood walls, and an outdated electrical meter that needed replacement along with rewiring after dismantling the old walls. The final renovation costs far exceeded my initial expectations. 
 

 
6. Avoid having records of gift money deposits in your bank statements for the last two months. 
 
This advice pertains to large remittances from overseas. Many banks may not accept this when processing a loan application, especially for significant sums. If you're planning to buy a house soon, it's advisable to keep your bank statement primarily reflecting regular salary or monthly income deposits. Try to avoid any large one-time deposits.
 
 
7. Furthermore, if you've been involved in stock trading and unfortunately experienced significant losses on your tax returns for two consecutive years, it's advisable to confirm with the bank whether this will affect your loan interest rate when processing your loan application. 
 
I personally experienced this situation and was surprised to find out that even significant investment losses could impact the loan application. Some banks consider such losses as a higher risk factor for providing loans. For instance, banks like Chase US Bank indicated that this could affect the loan. They might require a higher loan interest rate. After inquiring with multiple banks, I finally found one that wouldn't be influenced by these losses.

8. If you're planning to buy a house soon, it's best to transfer the down payment to a designated account in advance.
 
I have a friend who encountered an issue with this. In pursuit of bank account opening bonuses, he opened several different bank accounts and distributed the down payment among these accounts. However, this led to delays in the loan approval process, far exceeding the typical 30-day closing period. The seller demanded compensation for the extended time, resulting in substantial penalty fees. Sometimes, it's better to avoid minor gains if they come at the cost of major setbacks.

9. Don't assume that buying an off-market house guarantees a good deal. In my first home-buying experience, lacking experience, I believed that purchasing an off-market property would result in savings. I specifically sought an agent with ample off-market resources. However, after analyzing the transaction data of neighboring properties, I realized that the off-market purchase was actually more expensive than buying a non-off-market property. Several factors contributed to this:

10a: Sellers aren't charitable entities; why would they sell at a discount? For sellers, listing a property and exposing it to more potential buyers is ideal. Often, off-market properties come with their share of issues, such as age-related wear or the need for significant renovations.
10b: Many off-market properties involve direct transactions with the seller's agent. This creates a dual agency situation, which can lead to conflicts of interest. It's risky for inexperienced buyers to work directly with a dual agent, as they don't solely represent the buyer's interests.

11. Invest time in reviewing disclosures and inspection reports yourself. 
 
When it comes to inspections, it's important to note that the presence of foundation issues shouldn't immediately alarm you, unless you're purchasing a brand-new house. In the Bay Area, older homes tend to have some degree of foundation issues due to the natural shifting of soil over time. Vertical cracks on walls are generally not a major concern. However, if you encounter horizontal cracks, it's advisable to consult a structural engineer. A quick note: I've seen instances where sellers patch up and repaint wall cracks before selling. This makes it difficult to spot issues during inspections. If a house truly has serious foundation problems, they might become apparent when inspecting crawlspaces or concrete slabs.
 
12 .So, like, make sure to really check out the permits and the actual size of the house in the city or county system (I'm telling you, this is super important, like really important!). Some sellers might have added, like, a sunroom or something, or even, like, an illegal room without getting a permit (or they might've, you know, turned the garage into living space or something). When they sell the house, they might include this extra space in the total area, and that's why you sometimes see a listing on Redfin saying the house is, like, over 2000 square feet, but if you look it up in the county records, you might find that the living square footage they have registered is actually, like, just over 1000 square feet.

12a. So, first off, if there's an unpermitted addition and you move in, there's a chance a neighbor might snitch, and the city could come to check it out and, like, ask you to tear it down and, you know, put things back the way they were (this really varies from city to city, you know? I had this happen with an investment property I bought before – I was a newbie and didn't pay much attention to permits, and my agent didn't mention it either. Turns out the previous owner converted the garage into a bedroom and bath, and they showed me a permit copy, but later, like, a year after, the city sent me a letter saying it was illegal. Checked the city records, turned out the permit was pending and not completed. Tried talking to the city a bunch of times, no luck. Ended up spending a ton of money to bring it up to code and get the permit completed. Thought about legal action but that's a whole other story, trust me, it was a mess. Moral of the story, be super careful when buying a house!).

12b. Also, these additions, whether they got permits or not, usually cost around, like, $450 to $500 per square foot (before the pandemic, it was even cheaper). Regular house prices are like, you know, around $1000 per square foot. So, when sellers include this added space at market price, it's kinda not fair, you know? I mean, I get it, in a crazy hot market, buyers might not have much choice, but personally, I wouldn't pay an unreasonable price just to snatch a house, especially now that house prices are dropping. As a buyer, you totally have the chance to negotiate down with the seller about this. I noticed that a lot of agents don't even pay attention to these things, especially the second point. Some might know but won't tell you 'cause they just want you to buy the house. That's why I now make sure any agent I work with knows this stuff, no matter how good they are. If they don't give me a heads-up on this, especially if I'm a newbie, I'm just gonna pass on 'em. view all

A 10,000-Word Guide on How to Buy a Used Car in US for Car Novices



Introduction: In recent discussions on internet, many car novices are seeking guidance on buying used cars. This guide aims to assist those individuals by offering universal advice. Regardless of your familiarity with cars, you can learn the methods for purchasing a used car without needing complex technical knowledge. Let's start by understanding that buying a used car requires "fishing" skills, not just knowing specific car models. The focus should be on understanding the process of buying a used car, rather than obsessing over which particular used car to buy. Often, articles like "The Four Myths of North American Value Retention" or "W's Top 10 Best Used Cars to Buy in 2014" can lead us astray. Below, we will present essential knowledge in a categorized manner. Please note that my expertise is limited, and any oversight or mistake should be pointed out for corrections. 

Abbreviations used in this guide correspond to the following terms:
Kbb: Refers to the well-known used car appraisal website www.kbb.com, which provides specific year, mileage, and reference prices for cars.Craigslist (CL): Refers to the well-known online platform for buying and selling used items, often referred to as the "top 1 of the United States."Sedan/SUV/coupe, etc.: Refers to the types or structures of cars, such as a coupe specifically referring to a two-door or three-door sports/sporty sedan. Further subdivisions include full-size, medium-size, compact sedans.MPG (Miles per Gallon): Represents the fuel efficiency of a vehicle, indicating how many miles it can travel per gallon of gasoline.Make/model: "Make" refers to the manufacturer of the car, such as Honda/Toyota/BMW/Mercedes/Audi, etc. "Model" refers to the specific model of the car, such as Mustang/3 Series/A6/CTS, etc. Combining them would be, for example, Audi A6 or Ford Mustang.DFBB: Refers to the "Four Great Cars of North America," namely Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Honda Accord. These four cars were very popular around the year 2000 on North American Chinese forums, and they are still highly regarded for their value retention and reliability.Vin: Each car has a unique identification number, similar to a car's ID number or ID card. Checking a car's history is done through its VIN, and there are only two reliable companies that provide reports: Carfax and Autocheck.DMV: Stands for the Department of Motor Vehicles, where vehicle registration, buying and selling, and driver's licenses are handled.Title: Refers to the ownership status of the vehicle. There are various types of titles, including clean/clear title, salvage title, duplicate title, etc. Salvage title indicates that the car has been in a major accident and was declared a total loss, meaning that the estimated cost of repairs exceeded the car's value. Cars that have been in accidents may still have clean/clear titles. There is also a type of title that indicates the car still has an outstanding loan that hasn't been fully paid off; I can't recall its name. In any case, when buying a car, it's best to look for one with a clean/clear title, especially if you're not knowledgeable about cars.Registration: Refers to the vehicle's registration. On the license plate, there will be a small sticker indicating the expiration year and month, such as 08/15. If the registration is expired, you'll need to go to the DMV to renew it. It's not a big deal if it's expired, but if you drive with an expired registration, you might get pulled over by the police. If the car you want to buy has an expired registration, you can simply go renew it; it's not a big issue.Smog check/emission test: Refers to the annual vehicle inspection. If the car doesn't pass the test, you can't renew its registration. The laws vary by state, but generally, cars older than ten years need to undergo this test. In California, selling a car without passing the smog check is illegal.
 
Principles of Buying a Used Car:
The car must have a Clean Title, indicating that it is not a salvaged vehicle and that the ownership rights are clear without any outstanding loans.The car can tolerate a history of major repairs, accidents, or previous leasing, although it's preferable to avoid such histories.When purchasing, exchange payment and title simultaneously, and ensure the title is signed by the current owner.Avoid transactions between friends, acquaintances, teachers, students, or romantic partners – you know the reasons.

Basic Process of Buying a Used Car: (Here, we'll focus on the Craigslist approach, while other situations can be referenced.)
Find a suitable post and contact the seller via phone.Obtain the VIN# and check the car's history using Carfax or AutoCheck accounts.Schedule a meeting to inspect and test drive the car at the agreed time and location.Get a mechanic from a repair shop to conduct an inspection.Complete the transaction, exchanging payment and title simultaneously.Visit the DMV to handle the paperwork, or let an Auto Registration Company take care of it for around $40.After some hassle, you finally receive the title with your name on it, and you may feel emotional and overwhelmed. Share your experience on the forum and request points, apart from discussing the car price.

Costs of Owning a Car (in addition to the car's price):
DMV registration fees and sales tax, which usually can't be reduced. It's advisable not to understate the transaction value, as it may not be in your best interest. Note that the situation varies between states; for instance, in CA, there is a registration fee of approximately $100, and the sales tax is around 8%.Insurance expenses, which can be calculated based on the car's MPG and your typical driving distance. The minimum insurance coverage in rural areas costs around $300 for six months, but it varies among individuals.Fuel costs, which can be estimated conservatively using your car's MPG and typical driving distances.Maintenance and repairs, many of which can be DIY, saving significant costs. For example, replacing eight brake pads with mid-range brands would cost around $80 if done by yourself, compared to over $1000 at a dealer. Dealerships can be ruthless, so be cautious.Parking fees, depending on the rates at your school's parking lot.Parking tickets – I receive one about every six months on average. Recently, I got one for parking in Downtown LA without properly displaying the meter receipt on the windshield. The ticket arrived at my home two months later. Remember to learn from my experience and display the payment receipt conspicuously on your windshield if you park at metered spaces.
 
 
II. Clearly Define the Purpose of Buying a Car (WHY should you buy a used car in US): 
 
Firstly, the first step is to determine what you are buying the car for. Below, I have listed several common options for your consideration:
Commuting, including going to school or work, with a daily round trip of at least 10 miles. Key features: You rely on the car every day, and if it breaks down, it significantly impacts your daily life (>80%). The annual mileage should be around 5000 miles, although in large cities like LA, commuting 20,000 miles a year is quite normal. The average annual mileage for cars in the United States is around 10,000 miles. If you are buying a car for commuting, it's essential to consider the reliability since the car will be used daily. Additionally, if your round trip exceeds 30 miles, you should also consider the car's MPG (Miles Per Gallon).Comfort, including convenience for grocery shopping, outings, and living not too far from your usual destinations (a round trip of 5 miles or with access to public transportation). Key features: You use the car 2-3 times a week, not every day. If the car breaks down, it slightly affects your life (<30%). The annual mileage should be around 3000 miles, mainly for trips to Chinese supermarkets or short-distance excursions (round trips of around 500 miles). In this case, a higher-mileage car with a newer model year might suit you better. When it comes time to resell the car, although it might have had higher mileage when you purchased it, since you didn't drive it much, the age and mileage will balance out.Work, including delivering food or providing transportation services (assuming you are an F-1 student working part-time for a Chinese restaurant). Key features: You use the car every day for work, and if it breaks down, you might lose your job. The impact on your life depends on the situation (>80%). It's challenging to estimate the annual mileage because I've never done food delivery, but it probably won't be much less than commuting.Entertainment, including convenience for dating, showing off, etc. If you fit one or more of these conditions, consider combining them to choose the car that suits your preferences.
 
III. Determine the Budget 
 
Based on the purpose of buying the car, determine your budget or let your budget determine the type of car you can buy (All prices mentioned below are in USD).

Tier 1: Above $110,000
Tier 2: $28,000 - $10,000
Tier 3: $6,000 - $8,000
Tier 4: $4,000 - $6,000
Tier 5: Below $4,000

An essential premise here is that your budget determines the type of sellers you will interact with. Always remember: if the car owner is not a good person, then the car they are selling is definitely not worth buying. Society consists of various social classes, and people with different social statuses have varying income levels, which reflect in the cars they drive. Here is a rough breakdown into five tiers:
The top-tier individuals sell cars above $10,000. Generally, such people are not short of money, making bargaining more effective. They also have good income and won't waste too much effort on selling their used cars, so most of these cars end up being traded-in to dealers. There are few cars left for sale on Craigslist (CL) in this category. Usually, the owners are young professionals who have just finished four years of college, and after their new cars become older, they sell them and move on. It's worth noting that due to the high prices, there aren't many buyers on CL for this category of cars, so many owners opt for trade-ins. If you want to buy this type of car, as long as your offer is $2,000 above the dealer's trade-in price to the owner, you should have a good chance.The lowest-tier individuals sell cars for no more than $4,000. This group comprises a mix of fishy characters, and there is a high chance of encountering curb dealers who engage in shady car businesses to earn ill-gotten money. They are generally ruthless and would deceive inexperienced buyers who lack knowledge about cars. More experienced buyers have pointed out ways to identify curb dealers. The simplest method is to ask about the car condition without mentioning its make and model. If the seller responds with "which one" it is 99% likely to be a curb dealer. Another sign is if the title is not in the seller's name, but it's already signed. In such cases, it's 90% likely to be a curb dealer. The rest of the sellers in this category are mostly low-income individuals, minorities, or students in financial need. People looking to buy cars in this category must have a strong understanding of car mechanics and be proficient in driving to find a suitable car among the junk sold by the remaining sellers. While there are good cars in this category, buying one is challenging, much like gambling. If you can't drive well and lack the budget, it's best to avoid this tier.Other Tiers: The rest of the people fall into the category of ordinary individuals, including middle-class individuals, pseudo rich people raised in affluent families, or rural folks. There is nothing special to note about these sellers, but they generally won't easily lower the price by a significant amount. Don't expect to bargain down by $1,000 or more.
 
IV Choosing the Right Location to buy a used car (where to buy a used car in US)
Used car dealerships have a wide selection of cars and offer convenience, as well as warranties. Negotiating the price is possible, but don't expect a significant reduction. Salespeople are skilled at pressuring customers, so dealing with them can be challenging. Buying from a dealership implies that you have enough money to spare.Rental car companies like Enterprise and Hertz offer newer cars, usually from 2012 or 2013, with high mileage (around 30,000 miles per year). The prices for used cars from rental companies are fixed and not negotiable, except for transportation fees. For example, if you want to buy a red Camry in LA but can only find one in San Diego, the rental company will charge you for transportation. However, Hertz offers a three-day test drive period, and if you decide to return the car within that time, you will only be charged for the three days of rental. It's worth noting that rental car companies are profit-oriented and will not sell you a car for $15,000 if it's worth $1,500,001. Their prices are slightly lower than KBB's "good" value. Special organizations, such as schools, churches, etc., sometimes sell used cars. For example, a campus police department may sell retired police cars at fixed prices or through auctions or best offer arrangements. The prices may vary depending on the organization. Churches often sell donated cars at lower prices for convenience. These opportunities to buy cars are rare and not easily found.Auctions are the main source for acquiring a large number of used cars. Auction houses have many private dealers or local, lesser-known medium-sized dealers, but few private buyers. For example, the Long Beach, CA government holds auctions where all available government-owned cars are listed with their VIN numbers. Volunteers can bid on these cars, but most of them are not new and may have been repossessed from individuals who couldn't repay their loans. There are many cars with a 20-year or even 80s model year, but there are also some good cars from 2005. Since these cars are generally not inspected, buying from auctions carries a higher risk compared to dealerships, where repairs can be made. Auctions usually have a monthly or multiple times per month cycle.Buying from the classifieds website Craigslist is the method advocated and emphasized in this article.
 
In summary, if you want to buy a luxury or very new used car, you can try dealerships, rental car companies, or other channels mentioned in North America Saving Fast Report. In 90% of cases, these channels may not have the car you are looking for, so it may not be necessary to read this article. For other situations, it is recommended to go to Craigslist. view all

Understanding Trigger Finger:
Trigger finger is a clinical condition where the tendon sheath beneath the skin gets irritated, resulting in severe finger pain and swelling. Usually, trigger finger pain seems normal at an early stage, but its situation worsens over time. The leading causes of the trigger finger are repetitive hand movements, overuse of fingers, aging, and direct injury to the finger.

The Science Behind Therapeutic Water Soaks:
A Therapeutic water soak is a treatment method that involves immersing a specific body part, such as a finger or leg, in warm water infused with therapeutic additives. This method is widely used to alleviate body pain and reduce inflammation. This treatment works on two basic concepts of science.
 
2.1 Buoyancy:
It can be referred to as an upward force exerted by a liquid fluid, such as water, on an object immersed in it. That’s why objects submerged in water appear to be lighter than their weight outside. In context with therapeutic water soaks, water’s buoyancy reduces the impact of gravity on the body, allowing submerged body parts to experience less stress.

2.2 Hydrostatic Pressure:
It is the pressure a fluid (water) exerts on an immersed object. The more the immersion depth, the more pressure will be exerted on an object, which would be beneficial for treating many problems.

How to Perform Therapeutic Water Soaks? 
Step 1: Selecting the Perfect Water Temperature
The primary step to creating a therapeutic water soak is choosing an ideal temperature for warm water. Usually, it is best to set the water temperature between 38°C to 42°C (100°F to 108°F).

Step 2: Ingredients
The effectiveness of your water soak will depend upon your ingredients.
Mix 1-2 Cups of Epsom Salt as it contains magnesium sulfate, known for offering muscle-relaxing benefits.Add herbal infusions like chamomile, calendula, or arnica flowers, which contain anti-inflammatory properties.To enhance the aromatic experience, you can add a few drops of calming essential oils like lavender.

Step 3: Immersing Your Hands in Healing Waters
Immerse your hand gently in prepared water. Make sure to submerge your hand thoroughly.Soak for about 15-20 minutes, and use this time to perform essential finger stretching exercises.

Benefits of Therapeutic Water Soaks:
The therapeutic water soaks benefits include:
Alleviate pain and stiffness in the affected fingerReduce muscle tension and swellingPromotes greater flexibility and range of motionEnhancing blood flow in submerged hand

Wrapping Up:
In conclusion, therapeutic water soaks effects offer a holistic and effective approach to relieving Trigger Finger pain. By harnessing the science of buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure, warm water infused with healing ingredients promotes relaxation, reduces inflammation, and improves hand mobility. Embrace the soothing power of water therapy to reclaim comfort and ease in your daily activities.  view all
