I live there!!! Loveeeeee this city but it’s growing too much too fast :( I’m starting to miss the cattle, horses and the green pastures as they start construction on a lot of the areas

A lot of different vibes in austin, places to check out would be leander, cedar park,, Pflugerville, mueller, holly, manchaca, and Kyle for hones not too far from the city. What's your budget and hhi? A 3/2 could be 350k or 600k depending on the area

like

Check out homes in the deer park elementary area, cedar park. I think 500k will get you a good 3/2 home (maybe a bit older)

What is affordable for you? What type of life are you looking for?

If you’re talking less than 400k, then will be in some mundane suburb. If 800k+ is affordable to you then maybe you can gat something more central.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Hii sharks 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻

I broke through the wall in 2020 and feel like I blinked and it is 2022. I have been saving something close to 75% of my take home and dumping into ETFs. I feel like I want to branch out into real-estate but never lived anywhere more that 3 years. What would you do? I have cash to put a large down payment to avoid the high rates but am scared I have no roots and will move in another few years.

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.
