First, narrow down the type of banks. My real estate agent told us that there’s a stick with national banks in our area, since they don’t understand our booming area well so sometimes the loans can’t be closed in time. So I only looked at regional banks. Second, I called each of them, blatantly laid out my situation and ask them for the best offer. If their offer is worse than the ones I have, I would tell them the best ones I got and ask them if they could beat them. Don’t forget about all kinds of hidden fees. In the end, make a choice. At this point, it is all about the numbers. Good luck!

Any advice?

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

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.
