About to list my townhome for sale in a Chicago suburb. Any suggestions on how to price it right? Should i get a property appraisal? I have done alot of renovations recently and don’t want to price it lower. Realtors i have spoken to suggested based on the recent home sales in the area but not too many similar homes were sold in the zip code to get a good idea. Appreciate ur responses.

Hey guys wanted to hear your thoughts on PE co-investing, is it a good path to direct investing? I read that the skill sets are similar but I see very little info on how hard that move is. I usually see posts linking co-investing to FoF but co-investing doesn’t seem like FoF (unless I’m wrong). Open to hearing your guys’ thoughts on it

Anyone have a recommended tax person in Chicago?

We are still waiting for our refund for 1040 efiled in March (still pending per where's my refund) but now realized we're not going to get the monthly child tax credit payments because "Your eligibility is pending." We qualify using 2019 or 2020 amounts (stay at home spouse).

We don't need it early, but have to imagine that countless others are in our situation but don't have the luxury of waiting. I've called IRS at least a dozen times since but never get through to an actual person.

Planning my steps to £100k before 34 currently an L9, 28 years old on £55k how would you go about doing it ?

I know Bitcoin gets a lot of exposure but if you invested in Stellar or Ethereum over the last year, you would have a higher rate of return versus bitcoin. For any new Investors, you should definitely take a look at other crypto’s outside of bitcoin.

Im very bullish on Stellar and Ethereum as they have actual use cases. I don’t really believe in the bitcoin inflation protection use cases.

Good luck 🍀

NIO still a good stock?

Am I the only one that feels like we should have our student loans forgiven? (And I used to be adamantly opposed to ANY student loan forgiveness)
Our salaries continue to DECREASE as cost of living increases (not just “no raises”…decrease!…I realize I’m preaching to the choir haha). I can barely (and by “barely” I mean “can’t” TBH) make bills, pay for kids activities, etc (also a single mom of 3, for more context) LET ALONE pay my loans…
How do we start that movement?…
Who’s with me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

My crypto is 100% BTC and has obviously grown nicely. I am debating allocating 15% or so to ETH, but I just feel comfortable with BTC. What are people’s thoughts here.

Tips for professionally quitting current role? Here's what I'm thinking, feel free to pick it apart!
-Schedule a call with boss, on a Thursday since my last day I'm planning will be two Thursdays later
-On the call tell boss I'm resigning and thank for his leadership and the opportunity I've had
-Send the letter to him right after the call
-This is where it gets fuzzy... Do I go ahead and the send letter to HR as well? Do I tell other coworkers before official announcement goes out?

I have got a offer from JP Morgan, I had asked them for joining bonus which they declined but have told me they would pay me my annual bonus(pre defined in current organization) in January as incentive along with rest of organization.

Looking to buy an apartment in NYC do you think prices will drop?

Would you try to negotiate price change after signing a P&S given the following facts? The home had a pipe burst in November 2021. The pipe is fixed. Damaged area is down to the studs. The home itself is over 130 years old. When we signed the P&S the market was still hot, so we couldn’t negotiate a home inspection. However, we are getting the home for well below pre-pipe burst asking price. This past week we visited and noticed the water was not on. We don’t know for how long it’s been off.

As a landlord, could I keep flood detection sensors in the house so I get alerts?

Is there an app to target specific houses or streets for when they go on market?

There are certain houses located along certain portions of some roads that I don't drive by regularly. But I would love to know if any of them ever go on the market.

I was thinking it would be great to have a Google maps like app that you could browse and select a bunch of houses and eventually get a notification if any of them ever go on the market.

Or, is there any other low effort way of doing this?

When do you anticipate it will be a buyer’s market again? (NJ/NY)

Had an electrician come to my home yesterday to split up a circuit line so the microwave could have its own dedicated line. Paid him for the assessment/fix and gave him a tip as well cause I thought he was nice. Next day my dishwasher doesn’t turn on and when I checked the power grid something tripped a couple of the switches. I flipped them back and the dishwasher still doesn’t turn on. I called the guy to see if he can come this week and he asks for a travel fee of $25. Normally I wouldn’t

Anyone have an outdoor TV at their personal property or rental? We will need one for our screened in porch (house being built in Massachusetts) that will will also be a rental. I like the Peerless AV Neptune partial shade 65” tv but my husband thinks at that price we just get a cheaper TV and replace it if needed. I assume we need something that can handle damp weather in case it gets wet and seems foolish to use a regular TV. Thoughts/other recommendations?
