    I've talked to folks at a bar who have said shit like "I didn't like my doctors opinion, so I fed my x-ray to grok and it diagnosed me" and thought that was a totally normal and smart thing to do. There's millions of people just signing over their executive function to a large language model because critical thinking is hard.

    They are so incredibly vulnerable to the sort of mental tuning that musk and zuck excel at with their algorithmically driven platforms and LLM-driven assistants

    I went riding with the kids yesterday and took a small spill. I didn’t notice at the time, but my phone fell out of my pocket into the brush.

    Around 9:30, I looked around for my phone, and saw it was still on the hill at the regional park. So instead of waking up early to look for it, I decided to seize the moment and drag my wife and son along with me.

    There are no lights at the trail, and we know there are coyotes at the park because we often hear them at night. So we set out with headlamps and wearing reflective vests from work. I carried a hatchet and gave my wife the machete. Just in case, you know, the coyotes come for my boy  

    Come to think of it, I should have just woken up early today to go hunt for it. Probably would have been safer and not freak out my son who got scared walking in the dark. I’m a dumbass. 

    You gave your wife a machete?

    Section 8 is a guaranteed government check.  College housing is deposit forfeiture and damage repair.  

    I looked at a Quadplex thinking section 8 years ago, and I figured it was going to be endless sewer problems.  As that property already had folks flushing dumbass shit down the toilets.  So went with a single family house.  I would imagine I would prefer to have large deposits on college rental properties, and try to rent more to girls than guys.  Hoping the gals won't fuck up as much stuff.  But the flushing down the toilet issue might raise it's ugly head.  But I would spell out that plumbing costs related to clogged plumbing caused by tenant would be passed on to tenant.

    ong term appreciation prospects would be a key factor.  Perhaps the key factor.

    On the plus side for section 8, if you get a good tenant, you might have a check for years with minimal repairs.  As a solid counterpoint. 

     

    I’d go college with a requirement that parents cosign. And get a big deposit. Because you’ll get more appreciation potential than section 8.

     

    But I would have a plan to be all up in the business of the tenants on a regular basis. People tend to take better care of something that is humanized vs anonymous. I stay very close to my tenants in my personal rentals, keep a good, open relationship with them. It also helps with retention. I’m not renting to college kids, which I get, but the gist is the same.

  5. What does the lease say about whether the signers are joint and severally liable? Or are they only individually liable?

    As an example, most individual landlords in a roommate situation will make the signers to the lease joint and severally liable. Meaning they can come after either one for the whole amount.

    However, in our student housing projects we rent by the bedroom and the parent is a co-signer but only liable for their kid’s portion.

    Again, without reading the lease, I would suspect that the signers have a duty to pay the whole term of lease rent, but if they move out the landlord probably has an obligation to try to re rent it. But the signers are responsible for rent until the new tenant kicks in and, and leasing costs. But read your lease and see what it says.

    Then after you know all that I’d call the landlord and just try to talk to them and see if you can work something out.

    If not, your kiddo may be on the hook for the whole thing. Tough life lesson, but you typically only need to learn it once.
