Iowa.

Why not? Cheaper real estate. Decent cities. Should be more stable instead of the boom and bust of most areas.

Curious why you say Iowa? I own 6 there, so I don’t disagree…just curious why you say it.

Travelers are trending back to hotels. Airbnb is providing lower value for price paid. The saturation of Airbnb’s in good areas make it unprofitable. What is more likely is distressed Airbnb sellers in the next 12 months. It won’t solve the housing problem. Unless you are putting an ADU for 50k behind an existing house for $200 a night, or renting a tent on your property it’s really risky. The situation would have to be low risk high reward. I’ve even looked in other countries. LTR rentals are still viable but it’s tough to find cash flow at 8% interest. The cash on cash return isn’t there. I could make more on high yield savings with zero risk. With limited risk I can get 12% in the stock market fairly easy.

EA1, do you own any real estate?

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but. Should I be looking at more security analyst/admin roles first? Going for certs? Getting a masters? Wondering what I can do to improve my chances. TIA

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Is it okay to buy a home worth 660K for a couple earning 325K TC together? The HOA and taxes for this home bring the monthly payment up to ~4.8K which is ~32% of our monthly take home after tax…we’re first time home buyers, any advise is appreciated!
