If you really want to do this, and you can have a longer tail to your career in a firm, look to your firms internal / corporate audit team, most do 6 month rotations for business line staff, they want to learn how business think, you will learn how front to back works and how to think holistically about the firm and why the firm makes you do all that shit.

Does it still make sense to purchase rental properties in HCOL markets like LA? I was passively looking before the pandemic, but it seems like things have gotten pretty insane. Lot of properties just won’t cash flow.

This is the worst.

How do I go about getting a car loan so I can walk into a dealer with the loan already secure, but I don’t know the final selling price of the car? I want to lock in an interest rate now, so kinda “pre-approve” myself for the maximum amount I want to spend, but I will likely not actually spend that much to buy the car. I.e locking in a interest rate for $45k/60mo now, but might only use $35k at time of purchase.
