Yeah, it’s crazy out there. I think the only way is to mentally tell yourself that the asking price is not going to hold and once you find something you like, be super aggressive. Keep the mind set that over the long run, you’ll make money regardless of the over ask bid. I don’t think this market will go down anytime soon. Good luck!

I got mine for asking price in September. Sunnyside. Single family. 4bd 2.5 bath. 3 car garage. Gut rehab. Stay diligent and be ready to make an offer immediately.

Try accept.inc; it allows you to qualify for a mortgage and be able to pay fully in cash. Obviously do your homework on it and see if it’s right for you, but while they’re closing on your mortgage, the home belongs to Accept for that little time. It’s something my wife and I have thought about. We haven’t done it yet, but our realtor proposed the idea to us when we do get serious.

It's so crazy out there. We got lucky by getting our offer accepted since we included a post-occupancy agreement, but we were outbid on our first two offers.

I'd honestly be patient and see if you can get lucky for whatever reason or consider some fixer-uppers. I would definitely not bid $50k over asking and would not waive inspection. The market will get better and it's not worth spending more than you can afford or getting into an underwater mortgage.

We have a rental property and the house behind us just sold for nearly 40k over asking. It blows my mind!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

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 👇🏻
