I’m in the process of looking for a new home. I’ve seen two new construction houses - one by DR Horton and the other by Rockhaven homes. Can people that have bought and lived in houses by either builder share their experiences? Thanks x

I don’t understand the appeal of new builds. They look cheaply made and the neighborhoods they’re in are soulless. Give me the 50 year old brick ranch with a nice yard any day

I always get craftsmen and bungalows mixed up but meant a bungalow in the city or a townhouse/condo.

Haven't lived in a DR Horton but my company works closely with them and we service home buyers, never got a complaint about their homes. They're one of the best builders. Also look at Lennar. Good Luck.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
