Had put a Zillow listing. A person (old retired lady) saw the property. When she filled the application she had 500s credit score, was negotiating on rent and delayed the application, did not submit income sources. In the meanwhile, we lost the other applicant while waiting on her and also changed our plan to not rent this house but instead rent our other house.

Do you guys think it's worth paying off an auto loan? I have a 10k, 3 year loan with about 4k balance remaining. Interest is about 4%. I want to get rid of the loan but the total interest I pay over the life of the whole loan is only like $700.

Should I just keep paying the minimum on it? I was debating whether to sell some of my stock and pay for it bc stock prices are so high and frothy and im not sure this is going to last forever.

He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
