My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Confused about long term capital gains tax rate - are the brackets for how much capital gains you make in a year, or are the buckets determined by income?

Ie. If my income is over 40k do I pay 15%? Or do I only pay 15% if I realize >$40,000 in long term gains in a year?

Any suggestions for books to read about any guide for buying house in Canada or on real estate in Canada ?

Hi Fishes,

An investment related query. I'm drawing 1 lac/month salary currently and serving notice period with lwd-26-Aug. So, do I need to show all the investment proofs that I declared here as it's only been 5 months in the fiscal year and PPF of 1 lac would make the 5 month salary (5 lacs) non-taxable, right? Please guide.
