How does the housing market work exactly, like, what determines whether prices go up or down?

Anyone had success being in money from NRO account into US without getting into too much hassle?

Should I buy a townhouse to start building equity and buy sfh later (rent has increased way too much in California) or just wait for the rates to decrease. I’m seeing price decrease from the rate hike so it could also be a good time to buy now and refi later. Any advice will be appreciated.

💥Relocated to NYC and my real estate broker has said it’s been hard to book any showings. I’ve heard in this market, having a broker can hurt you because property owners prefer to not split the brokerage fee & go straight through tenants. Is there truth to this?😫

Thoughts on best (preferably free) credit cards? Thinking of opening another. I've only ever had these:

- Uber (used to be 4% cash back on dining; they've since updated this to 5% uber cash. I never use uber so I let this card expire)
- SavorOne from Capital One (unlimited 3% cash back dining & entertainment; 2% groceries)

I mainly spend on dining, groceries, gas, and online purchases (amazon, target). Maybe travel when things calm down but not right now.

I'm an expat thinking about starting a 401k. Is that a good move? I have no intention of retiring in the US but would be ok with leaving the money here until reaching retirement age.

My brain is not working, if I make 90k and the 401k match is "25% of the first 6% of annual comp" that means they will match $1,395 if I contribute $5,580 a year.....correct?

At what investment size should you typically start using fee only financial advisors?

Hello all,

experience people please give me advice and suggestions for HR round in TCS.

Looking at a property where the garage is in the basement of the home and the garage doors are in the back of the property. There’s not a driveway currently paved, but it would need to go from the street, past the side of the house, and into the back yard at a slope to reach the garage. How concerned should I be about drainage in having a sloping driveway? Any estimates on cost / similar experiences?

Thinking of starting my own real estate company in MO. Does anyone know what the market out there is like?

I am retiring from real estate! It's been 40 long years of working in this field and I'm so grateful for everything I've learned. To the young and rising realtors out there: It's definitely worth it, don't give up and eventually things will get better. If you have any questions feel free to ask them!

What should you look for as a realtor?

How many times do you consider it ok to show the same house to the SAME prospect until he decides to buy it or not?
It's been 4 times so far.

Does anyone have any idea about how real estate works in Europe? I got an opportunity with a company in Germany but most of their listings are old buildings that I just don't know how they will sell.

I think since I became a real estate agent my friends are avoiding me... it's like they think I see them as "prospects" rather than my pals. Hard to get out of salesman mode at the end of the day though.

What's the best way to find a mentor in this industry?

Is it worth it to buy a multi-family home to rent out?

Anyone enjoy being a realtor just to view different homes? Lol

Highest paying city for realtors?

I am sick of being a realtor! I've been trying for 5 years and have only sold 3 houses. Where I'm from (small Southern town) nobody is buying. Most people's families already own homes and it's just a bummer to see all these nice houses deteriorating over time.

Best trick I’ve learned as a real estate agent: if you are trying to sell a home, ask the homeowners to bake some bread or cookies. Sounds silly, but the smell will fill the house and make prospective buyers feel warm and cozy. It's like magic!

Was there ever a time you wanted to give up being a real estate agent?

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?

I keep seeing these ads for that thing where you buy a lordship by purchasing land in Ireland or something. Is that legit? Or are they just printing out a certificate without actually selling you any land?

Hear me out! I left my 15 year career in the corporate world to pursue being a realtor.1) It was never boring
2) It was the most challenging
3) It was extremely rewarding to be able to help families find their dream homes

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