I don’t know why my company puts so much pressure on feedback. I get that it matters for business and shareholders, but it can be too much for employees. I recently got a bad survey, not for my mistake, but because a customer was upset with a previous agent and survey was sent under my name. Thankfully, my manager understood, but it still hurt my numbers. It feels unfair to be judged by something beyond my control.

What kind of things do you dislike about your company?

1) I know that most of you will say that buying an expensive engagement ring is a waste and bad, etc. so let’s start with the assumption that I don’t care and it’s happening
2) does it make sense to finance an engagement ring purchase or buy in cash? If financing, how much would you have to put down for a ~$30k ring? (If you’re upset by this number just replace ring with car or education or wedding or whatever you feel good about lol)

Rental Housing/Airbnb viability. I have a small portfolio of rental properties on Long Island (NY). I rent them out to long term tenants but there is very little Airbnb activity in this market. I think the yields will increase significantly with an ABNB approach but then again these aren’t sexy locations (in Nassau County) and there isn’t much in terms of attractions that would drive renters to these areas. Summer time yes, winter time not as much. Anyone have any experience in a similar market?

Hi all! Any one have an opinion for average rent for a studio in Oakland / Berkeley/ Sf for a ~30 min commute to Embarcadero area in SF? I’m evaluating a job offer and debating whether it’s worth moving out to there from NYC.
