Congrats!! Same here but for a single family home. If it’s within your budget, checks all of your boxes for this stage of your life, and you intend to live there for the next 5-10 years, don’t sweat the timing. We also worried about buying at the wrong time, but we also got the house for $75k under listing and at an ok interest rate.

Hey Desi Fam. I am in California but looking to move to the East Coast to be closer to my wife’s and my family as our kids are growing up. Started looking at northern suburbs of Atlanta and that area ticks all the boxes we are looking for - great schools, family based neighborhoods, and diverse population. Are there any Atlanta natives here who can help us narrow down the city and neighborhoods we could target. Would like to buy a medium sized home < $700k. Thanks

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

Questions about job hopping-
My average tenure at a company is ~1.5 years (with ~11 YOE), but each jump I've made has yielded progressive/tangible career growth.

I'm concerned after my most recent jump (went from a product director to a head of product position at a different, smaller company after only a year) that I've kind of poisoned future career prospects at larger companies.

Any insights on whether this type of job hopping is a complete deal breaker for potential HMs?
