I'm applying for jobs, and constantly seeing requests for my home address up front. What's the best way to handle this? Should I just leave it blank? I'm curious why they need it so early and if it's used for discrimination. Thanks for any tips!

It does seem weird. I always just include it without really worrying that it will be used against me. What kind of discrimination do you think they would be using? Are they going to Google map search your house? I can't imagine anyone is looking that up, but I still kind of get what you're saying that it's weird.

I think it's a pretty standard question and I wouldn't worry about it too much. If they are going to be discriminatory, and they might, I can't imagine the address would be the most direct way to discriminate. It's possible that they just want to make sure you are local before considering you.

I've never even thought twice about it. I just type it in and move to the next section. If they want to discriminate based on my home address, I wouldn't want to work there anyways.

I hear a lot about cash flow with rental properties but would appreciate thoughts on whether breaking even after accounting for mortgage (interest and insurance included) as well as % set aside for repairs, vacancy, etc. is a decent strategy for building a portfolio. Alternative is wait for rates to come down, but that could easily be a few years at this point. If I find a good deal, I can always refinance my mortgage when rates drop and theoretically rental income will have increased by then.
