I need some advice/thoughts: I bought a condo in FFX almost 2 years ago. It is in a great location and I paid under 200k for a 1 bedroom. I loved the unit, until I moved in and realized the upstairs

1. Check the condo by laws, most wooden floors on floors 2 and above are usually banned.

2. Propose a bylaw to ban them past ground floor. you can’t be the only one in misery

3. Rent out the unit and keep it as an investment. The DC market is so hot right now and you bought it pretty cheap. I’d say hold that baby until you die and use it as an income stream down the road. Leases are generally 1 year so your renters would have to deal

Go through arbitration with your condo if it’s already against by laws. In the meantime, start living somewhere else for peace of mind

Neighbors floors creaks very loudly when they walk. It really is too much for me (I'm just miserable all the time bc the noise really bothers me). Have been debating between suing to have them fix it (that's another story) or just trying to sell (if anyone would even buy the place). I haven't made upgrades, and I've painted the kitchen cabinets, so I'm not sure what it could sell for. I don't really want to sink more money into the place if I'm moving. Was a first time buyer and so have a mortgage credit certificate and used my first time home buyer benefits. Thoughts on whether I should sell or if that would be really stupid financially? Or should I pursue legal action? What would you do?

Here’s how to withdraw your funds from FTX

Hedge Withdrawals

Open a position on FTX and an opposing position on another exchange (perhaps Binance for the irony) for the same financial exposure. If the position on FTX profits, keep trading. As the position on FTX experiences losses, the opposing position on the other exchange profits. Keep it up until you’ve depleted the funds on account at FTX the close your opposing position. You’ve successfully withdrawn funds using a hedge. You’re welcome.

Hey folks, need some help with PF details.

Let's say a person join a company X and then switches to Y after few years. Again switches to company Z after few months. Now the thing is both the previous employers provided Pf but the new company Z which is still growing doesn't have a pf contribution since it is starting out in india. What would happen to existing PF accounts if not withdrawn , will it earn interest? What would i need to do as an employee? Any timelines to follow?
