Anyone successfully negotiated a "cash back" from the developer if you bought a new construction home and didn't bring your own buying agent? Basically, you're getting a cut of the 3% that would have gone to your buying agent. Obviously not the whole 3% but 2-1%?

Noob question on selling puts- I just sold a weekly put that I WANT to get assigned. The stock fluctuate a few dollars a day so I’m looking for a specific price to own the shares at vs entering a limit order.

"People just want it to work" is a thing clients have said about the product the company I work for makes. It's true. And it's all over.

Any recommendations for a men's hardshell jacket? It's my first winter in NYC but I'm also an avid hiker and high-altitude mountaineer so I want something that's technical, durable, and well-designed for the outdoors, but also practical for the streets or office. I'm eyeing the Arc'teryx Beta AR or LT and appreciate its use of pit-zips for breathability, but I'd appreciate it even more if I can find a jacket that's a bit more affordable than Arc'teryx. Any recommendations?

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in. Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Feedback needed. Given the current influx of interest rates and looming economic decline.
