Do condos & townhouses make sense as starter homes when the HOA fees are ridiculous? In my area 2 bedroom condos in ok areas start at around $400k but then HOA fees are anywhere from $600-$2500/ month (high end obviously gets you some amenities and low end might get you an elevator and in-unit laundry). 2 bedroom townhouses start at around mid $500k and have HOA fees anywhere from $400 – $700. Then you can get really shitty SFH…

( www.reddit.com )

Is nearly 5.8% too high for Financial Advisor commission fees? I have a financial advisor via my bank. They charge about a 5.8% fee (rounded up) every time I make a deposit into either my IRA (invested) or my non retirement investment account. So if I deposit into both, both get hit with the fee. The fee is dispersed, some goes to fidelity and some goes to my bank. I deposit about 2k a month, so I’m hit w…

( www.reddit.com )

Thoughts on restocking fees for returns? A few years ago, I implemented a 10% restocking fee for returns (refunds only) to help recoup shipping costs and packaging, as well as to reduce the overall number of returns.

( www.reddit.com )

I absolutely hate resort fees. Why do they exist? I feel like when I first started seeing them way back when, they were an optional charge. You could pay the fee and get access to the spa, tennis courts, etc. I can’t remember the last time I saw an optional resort fee. If I can’t opt out of a resort fee then it is part of the cost of the room and the room price should reflect that. It’s a bunch…
