My idiot brother

Not the movie.

Would you ever consider co-signing a home loan?

Yeah, me neither.

The wife was pretty adamant.

But he is my brother, and there are circumstances working against him.

He gets paid in cash frequently so is...careful...with what he reports to Uncle Sam.

His wife has been at her gig less than a year.

He is really an idiot.

Sold his perfectly adequate place in this market.

recently financed a goddamn Bimmer for his wife.

This is classic ant and grasshopper stuff.

My wife's point is, if they exhibited ANY "try" she'd be ok with loaning them the damn money.

We could buy their place for them outright if we wanted to....because we SAVE everything.

Him...not so much. Ever. One of those types that spends whatever he has.

*sigh* I know I shouldn't but again, he is my brother.

I think if you loan it to him it should be considered as giving it to him with the intention of the possibility of him not giving it back. I've seen too many families stop communicating over someone borrowing money and never paying it back.

These days I either give them the money if I can afford it as an unspoken gift or I don't. If I get it back that's nice but if I don't that's fine too. No hard feelings since I considered it a gift in the first place.

Theoretically i am not giving him any money.

He has never asked for money, and even mentioned that he never would or will.

It is the assumption of risk as a co-signer for the home loan.

He could default, and I'd be responsible, but given the small (relatively speaking) size of the loan, it would be an annoyance, not a backbreaker.

Again, my instincts are hell no...but he is my brother.

I would buy it outright and let him lease to own from you. If he has not asked for money then he probably has a down payment that he could give to you.

If he defaults, the house is yours and you can either kick him out and get renters, or sell it for a profit.

I wouldn't co sign.

I understand this. Cosigned a lease on an apartment for my sister about a year ago. Had to cosign because her lazy, good for nothing, dwi getting husband will not get a job, and her income level was not enough for them to be approved. Part of me hopes they split up, but then if they do, I might be stuck with paying some of the rent. But she is my youngest sister.

No way I would cosign a mortgage for them though. I would tell them to get an apartment, and start saving.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
