Hello - I’ve been dabbling in investing in Dubai Real Estate market. The 0% tax and returns have really been appealing to me. Wanted to see what are other people’s thoughts. Currently investing or thinking of it? Would love to compare notes/thoughts.

Can someone please explain the process of selling a home when you have an Islamic loan? Since it’s profit sharing i don’t fully own the home right? So if i sell it i can’t take full profits since i don’t own it outright. I’m considering Islamic financing but have so many questions about it. Can you take an equity line? Can you write off mortgage interest?

Morgan Stanley or Schwab? Which brokerage should i choose?

I had no income in India and was in US the entire year. Do I need to file IT return with 0 income?

Does anyone here have a Tesla? Should I do it???...

PLTR calls? Bad week for them as they fell under ‘meme stocks’ some places. Thinking of $33 for 2/19

Any good gaming ETF ?

What is EYs 401k match? I am going to interview and found lots of benefits info online but could not find match or best. Thank you.

How long did it take after getting your license to actually start making money?

Recommendations for a Roth IRA?

If I'm adding multiple people to purchase a property but not on the mortgage, when do they get added - do they need to already be on the purchase agreement? I heard it's easier to do upfront vs. adding them later. I've asked this question in a thread but didn't get a clear response. If someone could please help clarify - how do I add other people on the onset on buying a property? This is a new build, buying directly from the builder.

Well, its a good thing I sold ARKF when it was $55 last year

Curious how this past year has been for everyone? Are account balances pulling your income down? Or has you book been growing? New clients? Are current clients implementing more because they realize they hand no idea what to do? Or is everyone still scared and sitting in cash and short term fixed income?

Anyone buying a place during Covid times in Denver? How's it going?

anyone see the irony in the fact that one of the only coins to hold steady in dollar value during this entire mess is TRX, which was berated by all prior to the crash? :p too bad I don’t own any 😭

Best ETF to invest in? I’m 24 looking to invest about $50k and don’t know where to put it. Nothing that’s super high cost or risky please

Looking to rent a home in the Central Park area but there are very few homes available for rent on Zillow. Does anyone know of any other platforms that might have listings that are not on Zillow? I imagine most people who are trying to rent out their home/investment property would list on Zillow but thought I’d ask!

What percentage of your income do you save, invest and spend?

Hi all, looking for advice.

I'm a technical writer with background in the hardware and healthcare industry. What would be a better option for me, pivoting into software tech writing or project management.

Which one pays better/is better (any advice appreciated, must be fully remote role)

If software tech writing, does anyone have advice on how to break into a role or learn what it takes to become one?

Anybody have a side gig? E.g. Network marketing on the side?

I'm about to graduate from uni and have sadly just realised that the creative industries I like aren't going to pay enough, so I want to get into consulting. Ideally in areas like marketing/branding/digital rather than MBB

I have no consulting experience and I have accepted an internship offer at an advertising firm for this summer. What steps would you advise me to take to get into consulting? Also, I get to pick between strategy and accounts for the internship - would either be more useful?

Recently freed from the consulting game (starting end of next week) with a great severance and new energy around RE. Closed our first REPE fund last year as well as a sizeable personal portfolio in a large midwestern city, all on the side.
If you’re accredited and interested in putting some $ to work in this super low yield environment, ping me! Ramping up the next fund soon.

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

I am looking to buy my first property soon - preferably new constructions (anything except condos) anywhere in Ontario/Canada. Any suggestions where I can turn to find new construction projects? I understand I need an agent. Until I find a good one, I am looking at the houses myself. Any suggestions where I can get information about new projects happening in the province?

Anyone know the average annual rent increase for 1200 sqft 2 bedrooms? I’m renting and want to know what to expect in a few weeks

Closing on a condo soon. Need to get 1 accent wall painted and one laundry bifold door installed. What’s an average cost to expect for this. I got quotes for 2000$, seems steep. Any recommendations for contractors in chicago area?

Is there an investment fund or group that anyone knows of? I heard of Fundraiser but it seems very convoluted. Looking for an investment group or development group to invest with

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. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. 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.

How big is to big for an initial investment property. Theres a 20 SFH portfolio for sale by me for about a mil. Is this to big to start with initially? I'm less worried about the Financials (feel comfortable on that end) and more worried about the managerial aspect.

Is a sloped floor of 1/2” over 10’ noticeable? I have to make room for conduit and cannot trench in my current place

Good cities/neighborhoods to invest in around Dallas? Looking for a SFH with max price around 300k. (w/ 70k down)

Got an agent and she was useless for finding good tenants. Got frustrated and finally started finding leads myself and closing on one soon. I have signed a contract with the agent for paying one months rent as fee. How can i fight this or as he has been literally of zero value add? I will ofcourse ask nicely but wanted to see if i have any other options!

I have the opportunity to buy a new build in ATX for 310k at 5.625% 30 year. Should I buy it? I can either:
1) rent it out
2) sell it

It's not my primary and I don't need it to live in. The news about a housing market crash is worrying me. Any advice?

I would like to learn more about development and real estate. Can anyone recommend any books or courses that you think are informative. Eventually I would like to own a few apartment buildings, but I know there is a lot I need to learn 1st. Any advice appreciated. 

Commercial real estate question. When a residential property will likely zone commercial in the coming years, do we, the owner, wait for a buyer/developer to contact us?

Thinking about investing in a 3-4 unit building in Chicago (Jefferson Park, Avondale, Bridgeport, etc.). Is the upcoming winter a good time to do so?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Looking to move out of California, and considering buying a townhome in Atlanta for ~$650k. Any thoughts on the Atlanta real estate market?
