I am 30M from Kolkata and currently working in Bangalore. I still haven't decided if I wanted to settle and retire in Bangalore (as family asks to settle in Kol even if it gives me less salary). But I still want to buy a flat. Given my dicy situation and the over valued prices of Bangalore real estates, will it be a good idea to try to purchase a flat in Kolkata? I tell myself that in case I decide to stay in Bangalore in long term, I can sell Kol flat and buy one in BLR. What's your opinion?

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home.

However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

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.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
