Beginner here:
My portfolio is as follows:
VOO 30%
VTI 25%
VXUS 20%
ZCN.TO 10%
Remainder: HYSA + cash.
Please advise if there’s any adjustments you recommend or other ETFs that you leverage.
Thank you in advance!

I am not sure what zcn.to is so can’t comment on that. I would personally just use VOO or VTI and not both. They will perform essentially the same over time. I would personally use VTI. Nothing wrong with both but no need for it in my opinion.

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.
