Honestly, no one has ever put it this way. I like the reference to sports! I'd still be happy as a backup QB for 10 years making bank though. Cushy!
Re:Carvana’s success rides on used-car loans on Sunday August 15, 2021 @08:55PM (#28193922)
I'm in Colorado and just bought a home over the last month. I went with a service called Accept Inc. You basically go through the underwriting process first, they then buy the home you want in cash (Giving you a cash offer to the seller), then you do a traditional mortgage to buy the house from them. No mark up.

Sounds great... but I can tell you that having a cash offer didn't mean anything if you weren't the top offer. I lost out on many homes because I didn't come out on top. Lost against those with conventional loans too. People will wait an extra 2/3 weeks if it means an extra $10K in the home price.

It may not be office work, but I bet it's location dependent (restaurant, janitor, grocery store).
But everything you described needs the app to be installed. No app, no problem.

You are "acquainted" with Adria and appeared "together" on a "panel"?! I'm offended and do not appreciate jokes of that nature.
