I’m 37in Atlanta, have a net worth of ~$1.8MM.. ~$900k is fully liquid (i.e., not in retirement or primary residence) and I have no real estate. Any suggestions on what I could do with my more liquid portion related to real estate? Is now just not a good time due to rates/prices?

Buy when you can afford. Don’t wait for rates/prices

If rates go down, then prices will likely go up. If rates are high enough to cause prices to drop, then the monthly payment goes up considerably

Thanks, I guess I’m looking for any possible suggestions on what a productive strategy would be vs alternative of keeping my money in S&P 500, etc. I can “afford” different scenarios but not sure where to start…

Wow congrats, fact that you were able to stack 900k liquid is incredible. I’ve been an investor for close to 17 year and to me now is not the best time to buy (of course depending on the market, I’m speaking generally). But it all depends on the deal. Have you looked at NNN properties?

Of course, Triple NNNs are great due to their passivity as compared to residential real estate.

Why not purchase a primary residence in cash? Then no loan.

We own our primary residence and made a larger down payment than normal (~35%) but are hoping for investment opportunities with a greater return than the mortgage. If we put that investment in a rental it would hopefully be cash flow positive while also hopefully appreciating similarly to or more than our primary residence. Let me know if you have any feedback though, maybe we should just eliminate the debt

Might matter what’s your current mortgage rate vs other return from other opportunities

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.
