How is the H1B visa appt availability situation these days in India? My Chinese colleague told me that there are lots of slots available in China these days. Is India still backed out months?

H1B is over 70% Indian (vs maybe 10% at China ), so using China is illogical. They are superpower and not dying to come here. As far as I know, there are no changes

China's is the 2nd highest. So the best possible comparison. Agree it is not apples to apples. But even China was backed out at one point. The hope was the backlog in India would clear up over months but the headcount in India is I guess beyond imagination. It is impossible to plan travel months out.

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all

model 3 vs the model s? I drove both and actually like the handling of the 3 better. I live in a city so the 3 would be much easier to park and move around. Cargo space seems fine. And it’s so much cheaper. What am I missing? If I wasn’t that concerned about the $ would I be silly to go for the 3?
