Following. I sent out a request on yelp, and a bunch of folks came back with quotes. Essentially it works on an hourly basis. 2 people + truck = ~$130/hr and 3 + truck = ~$160/hr. 3 hour minimum. If anyone has any tried and tested recommendations, I’m interested! Moving by the end of the month from Santa Clara to Fremont.

Since it's your first move, ensure you pack ur valuables urself and keep it safe/isolated to avoid any issues later. Offer the movers lunch from any fast food place and beer, as tips.

I recently bought my 1st home in TX. I want to get into real estate and eventually own/rent out multiple homes. Are there any good recommendations/tips on books/articles/websites that others have used to get started?

I've read about HELOC and cash out refinance to get a 2nd home but articles are so scattered that it gets confusing which is better in terms of tax benefits and immediate costs, etc. Anything others have found helpful that summarized how to get started would be great!

I have an issue: just been informed by compliance I have a violation. Using a brokerage restricted and at this point I am at a loss. I sold off all my stock just to comply. Then put the only stock I kept with the broker, the other one is my wife’s employer 401k savings broker. The instructions say they will reach me within 90 days for next steps. It also says there may be financial penalties.

What should I do? I replied the email immediately asking for help. I am a new to Deloitte and the US

For those who cold call on 401k plans, what is your approach?

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
