Do you tell applicants the rent/income ratio you look for? (We are 3x.) A woman who clearly can’t afford our open unit has emailed me multiple times asking for a tour. She thinks she can afford a $900/month apartment while making $1800/month.

Maybe she has a Section 8 housing voucher that can help cover rent?

1800:3=$600. Where is this at? Maybe hard to find that’s why she is desperate to view yours.

I might suggest you don’t know her full situation. You could politely say: will there be any other ways you’ll pay for this besides your income because I want to make sure you have a long and happy stay at my rental

Yes it’s def over if she looses her job. State your requirements and ask how much is in savings? Especially in this turbulent job market.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

How much have you saved from refinancing your student loan?

Does anyone know the answer to this? - My first mortgage statement was generated on 11/2 with a due date of 12/1 and includes a month of interest based on the balance on 11/2. I made a principle only payment on 11/14 of $500 which was applied right away. Will the interest automatically recalc to reflect a lower outstanding balance for a portion of the month? I plan to do this every month.

If you follow the cryptocurrency market, or even have been just taking an interest lately, with the Bitcoin "halvening," you should check out Pi.

If you haven't heard of Pi, it's a new cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin), developed by a bunch of Stanford PhDs. What makes it really interesting is that you can still mine this coin, using just the processing power of your phone, unlike just about every other coin out there. (Contd)

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.
