Anyone notice the renovated house had no building permits pulled to do the renovations?

I've posted this before? Have you ever known anyone who was delusional? I have. They believe what they say--but, the story can change if you listen to them carefully.

It’s entirely possible the down payment came from family though, right? The financial stuff makes me very uneasy about him, though.

Yes, but any contribution from another person, even parents, over 14k is taxable.

We’re like the Kavanaughs with a much lower standard of living and we’ll have to pay off our own 200k in debts.
Must be nice.

Yup.

Call me old fashioned, but I’m going to wait for the conclusion of the investigation.

The sham investigation the White House is trying to force, or the real one, that should take place?

Stop moving the goalposts. This is the agreement Flake forced.

And if so they should have paid taxes on that.

A sham investigation? I don't think Collins, Mancin and Murkowski will support that. Why would you support a sham investigation?

I think that when they moved in it was renovated, right? In the 2000’s? In MoCo they only keep the permits on file online for maybe 10 years?

FYI - we have a similar HHI and we can’t afford our $650,000 house , never mind a 1.3 million dollar house. And we have no law school debts even.

Apparently your parents/grandparents either can't, or won't, pitch in. It's ok, but lots of my neighbors are depending on support from their families.

Same. We have a similar income, a $650k house, no other debt and do alright, but could certainly not afford a country club (or two) and two private school tuitions.

Pretty sure a married couple’s contribution would exceed 14k untaxable.

I have, too. It's been extremely sad to witness. Her educational and career background would make you think she is a very unlikely candidate for delusions. When she's not talking about them she otherwise sounds extremely normal and reasonable.

I've read many, many times on this forum that there are a lot of people in DC who have help from wealthy parents for home purchases. Are the Kavanaughs somehow an exception?
