The punch bowl is being taken away and not only that but they’re slowing down/stopping their asset buying (QE). Buckle up, it’s going to get rough.

Associate 1: explaining like you’re five:

There’s a bake sale in your school. Each cookie costs $1. Nobody brought money. This means no student gets cookies, and none of the bakers make money. So the school lends a dollar to each student. Now students have money and they each buy a cookie. The students are happy because they’re all getting cookies, and the bakers are happy because people are buying their cookies. Then one day, a student is like “waaait…can I borrow $10,000?” and the school is like, “sure!” So the kid borrows $10,000 and buys a shit load of cookies. All the other kids are like “holy s, that’s a great idea!” And they all borrow $10,000. The bakers are like…uh, our consumers have so much money, we should raise the price of our cookies. So now the cookies don’t cost $1….now they cost $1,000 each, and the students happily pay it because they have so much money. That’s called inflation. The school is like…oh f, now new students can’t afford cookies. We gotta stop this. So the school stops lending out $10,000. They start charging more so people are discouraged from borrowing $10,000. The hope is that if the school doesn’t give a student $10,000, that the price of a cookie won’t keep going up

30 days till closing and I’m entitled to 2 more walkthroughs. Sent preferred dates and time to realtor last week and she said she would get back in a couple of days. I haven’t heard from her for a week, sent a reminder yesterday and she said the dates were confirmed and she thought she had told me. I asked for a change in time as something came up, and she said she would arrange it and hasn’t got back to me yet. Before she would reply within 15’ to an hour max. What happened?

Hey all I have an opportunity to buy a vacation home as a private sale from my parents (they are buying a new house in that area and need to sell the old one), it is waterfront property in NH 10 minutes from Mt Sunappee.

Would it make more sense to rent out the property through a rental company that included insurance and cleaning or to put it on airbnb?
