Anyone have any experience or insight owning a bmw i8? How is the reliability / how much mileage can you expect? Anything you wish you knew before buying?

Not terribly unreliable aside from the hybrid system which costs $2k-$5k avg. to repair. But it’s just a low performing and outdated platform. I mean it has super slim tires and a three cylinder engine…

a lot of better options for the price with the “exotic” factor the i8 has but also with more power

also would suggest one of those before something hybrid / electric since it’s all going in that direction anyways

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Hello, I am going crazy. I am supposed to close on a house on Tuesday. The buyer did not perform an inspection and the lender did not order an appraisal. The lawyer says that everything is good on her hand but I am not sure if she is the deciding factor here. Can a home close without a physical appraisal ? I don’t have a closing time yet, just the date. My realtor reached to the lender and have no heard back.

Current holdings are FUSE, FTOC, CCIV.

CCIV has been a roller coaster but today was amazing. Anyone else on this ride?

Thinking of getting a used Mercedes C 300 2018 in the Bay Area. Finding listings for $24,000 - $28,000/- certified pre owned for single owner under 30,000 miles.

Moving from Chicago and have never owned a car before.
Any advice on how to go about the search, red flags, negotiations, pricing, etc.?
