How would you allocate $200K today, knowing (1) this is in addition to your HYSA, investment, 401K.. (2) you have no immediate use (3) if we see a drop in real estate price in the next 1-2 yr timeframe, this could be part of your down payment for a house in HCOL

How do I resign?
I'm sort of new to my current job and I certainly don't like the work here and I've informed my manager about this earlier twice or even more.
But my manager has been very kind and supportive, whenever I ask for support and appreciates me too in scrum calls, but somehow I don't like the work.

If I'm getting a better opportunity, how do I resign and what do I tell my manager?

Having trouble selling my (retired) dad's house. It needs a lot of work, but has great character. What if I buy it myself for a low, low price? Then I would be able to get a FHA 203k loan to do the updates. Rent it out or put it back on the market in the spring.

Commercial real estate question. When a residential property will likely zone commercial in the coming years, do we, the owner, wait for a buyer/developer to contact us?

Hey everyone, curious about pros/cons and profitability of renting out a unit long term vs AirBnB. Let’s say it’s a condo downtown in a big city, how do you figure out what’s the better option?

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!

28 year old with ~125k in cash/brokerage. Have been wanting to begin purchasing rentals but anxious to use a good bit of my liquid savings. Thoughts on biting the bullet vs. investing in stocks. In Houston if that is a factor

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Finally got an offer accepted on a home I love! (In DC) Spent months searching. Next thing is getting to the closing date.

Now I feel super anxious about everything going thru and getting the keys. How difficult is that process of getting to close, have heard the underwriting portion could be a headache?

My assumption is that one makes money in RE with leverage. So, would you never let your equity in any given property get above certain% (I.e re-leverage and invest elsewhere) or would one eventually want to own a property outright?

What are some of the things that were a MUST when buying your first home and what were some things that you were more flexible with and why? I’m having a discussion with my partner about what we absolutely need and what can be worked on later.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

I’ve been thinking about getting into real estate investing. Not right now but later down the road. I’ve been trying to save up for a down payment. What are some good resources for a beginner? Blogs, YouTube, books etc I’m not looking for paid courses because I will be learning at a slow pace. Any help will be appreciated.

Went into a multi family property 50/50 with a relative against my gut. Things are going horrible. Need to get out. Best options? Buy him out? He invested maybe 4-5K in time (demolition work) and 2K in cash. I’ve managed the whole thing for 9 months. 10% of gross rents (as a management fee) would be about the same (6-7K)). Bought at low in market just after COVID hit. I want to keep the building. Seems fair to give him his initial investment back + some additional money for market gains. Help!
