Calling all Loan Originators!!! I've been in the mortgage industry for 5 years now (3 years as a Realtor, 2 as a loan originator).

Last years rates, anyone could have done well. You didn't have to sell a mortgage, people just applied.

With the market where it is today, what are some of you doing to counter the "rates are too high" comment from buyers?

I've gone back to my SOI and have been getting some deals and referrals to keep me afloat but would love to hear some of your Best Practices.

Do I need a new H1B Stamping? I extended my visa last year (new expiration date: 2024 Summer) and got my visa stamped accordingly. Since then, I changed firms and transferred my visa, which now has a different expiration date (i.e 2024 Winter). I honestly don’t know why the date got longer with just a transfer. Anyway, would I need to get my visa stamped again since the date of current i797-A (winter 2024) is different from my previous i797-A/latest visa stamp?

Getting ready for a new life adventure in some other city or country. Have a great house in an extremely desirable city. We should probably rent it, gain a little monthly cash, and let the asset grow even more. But part of me says just sell it while it’s high now, and go forth and not have to worry about renters and things breaking etc. Just move on and buy something when we settle. house is paid for. Thoughts?

I'm about to leave my current company and am thinking of rolling over my 401K to the new company's 401K bc more money can equal greater returns (if the market does well). I'm in my early 30s, so more risk tolerant. Is this "wise" or should I just leave my 401K where it is and begin a new one. I'm happy with my options, so no need to move it to an IRA.

Have a question to make sure this is not "tax evasion"

I made some money in crypto that I want to give to my family -- not withdrawing anything for myself, going to continue to hold.

If I withdraw some profits to give my fam , I'll obviously pay at my tax rate (which is high). Is it better and fine to just directly transfer the crypto to them and they can sell it ? (I know there's a 15k gift tax)

Would appreciate advice -- thanks!

Hello Everyone! Had a discussion yesterday regarding “claw backs” being included in a policy for sponsorship if the new employee leaves before 3 years. It was a declining percentage over a three year period. My POV was that it wasn’t something I’ve ever done and didn’t seem like they were sure of the hire they were making. I get wanting to save costs but at the same time doesn’t feel inclusive or welcoming. Thoughts? Have you done this or seen it work? Thanks!
