Have you negotiated your margin rates with your broker ? Unfortunately I cannot use Robinhood due to Deloitte. But TD gave me some reduction in margin rates. Lowest slab is now 6.10% from 9%. Portfolio is 275K.

Interactive brokers has the best rates I think if you take their pro account. You’ll pay commissions but they may not be that much either depending on how much you trade

I don’t have a couple million where they will even entertain a margin reduction. 😂

They apparently do reduce

I got 100k with Schwab I will certainly look into this thank you for posting. Not sure if 100k is enough but can't hurt to ask!

I was actually considering moving to interactive brokers for this due to their extremely low rates

Use margin sparingly.

A better way is to short something that’s lo beta / lo vola against a long position.

Wait why can’t you use Robin Hood with Deloitte?

Welcome to big 4 consulting. We have rules for tracking independence as we r a audit firm as well. Hence Deloitte forces you to use only approved brokers so they get access to the stocks you own to track if they are restricted. It applies to you and also your immediate family. So even wife and parents cannot own non approved brokers.

Bought a 300k end unit townhouse in Atlanta, 14 months ago with 10% down (3.65% interest rate). Prices in subdivision have been increasing over that period.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos.

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
