Do we

1. Buy a town home that’s $450k and live there for 4-5 years. Then buy dream home

2. Buy dream home now with a construction loan - live in apartment for a year while it’s built ($1400 on rent/month). Loan amount after down payment would be $650k.

Concepts of “starter homes” is a myth propagated by the real estate industry - you pay too much in commissions and sunk costs. I’d suggest to wait and buy the house you really want. Is the town home for $450k or is that the loan amount on the town home? I would do #2 if the finances work out and you’ll live there for a good decade. Also remember there’s a diff between what u need and what u can afford, lot of people buy property based on the latter.

Why would you ever want to rollover your 401K into an IRA? It seems like doing so would essentially prevent you from successfully being able to do a IRA to Backdoor Roth IRA conversion due to the pro-rata rule. Am I missing something? Wouldn’t you always want to just rollover your old 401Ks to your new 401K?

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

Hi everyone, not sure if I have any options but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. I signed a lease in June for $2050 when I was under the impression it wouldn’t get lower than that. The same apartment is now down $1650 and has been dropping. this is super frustrating since it’s such a dramatic drop. It’s almost more cost effective to break the lease for $4k in order to save $4500 over 12 months - $500 in total savings + cheaper if I renew next year. Do I have any negotiation power? Pls help/advise
