Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Just get the insurance. If your tenant burns down your building you'll want to be paid out
I have homeowners, my question was whether I need to switch the policy to landlord
Yes. If you’re renting out property you need it. If something happens and it becomes clear you’re renting out your place, you’ll likely be denied coverage.
Yes, you want your insurance coverage to match the occupancy of the home. Landlord coverage will cover the relevant damage to your property while occupied by the tenant. It will cost slightly more, but one huge benefit is that claims filed on investment properties don’t follow you around increasing your premiums. So in the long run if something happens you’ll be covered and capturing future savings too. I work with some great insurance agents if you’d like to get second opinions on a landlord policy.
Load up on as much insurance as you can. Homeowners insurance is different
Landlord insurance gives you liability protections. So if someone falls and breaks their arm on your property, their lawyer they go after the insurance money and not your personal bank account
Whether it is required varies by state but you should get landlord insurance. It doesn’t cost that much.
I got mine through State Farm. I didn’t shop around though.

In a scenario where you are living in one unit and renting out the others would you switch to landlord insurance?
