Looking to get into real estate sales and I have an opportunity to be a new homes sales consultant for a builder or a real estate agent. Any insights would be helpful.

Long shot: does anyone know of a good worker’s comp attorney? My company is contesting the claim and the judge advised that I get an attorney. I’m based in Brooklyn.

I know I can look at Google/Yelp reviews, but I’d love some help digging through the endless morass, to find a reputable firm. TIA!

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

I am financially secure (husband now has a high earning job) and looking at what options for "moon shots" at chances of real wealth generation with my years in Big 4 (10+). Month to month cash flow isn't a concern anymore so i can focus on opportunities for bigger pay days. Ideas from the hive mind?

Any recommendations for a church in Manhattan or easy commute from Midtown Manhattan? I live in Kips Bay and new to the States. Honestly, I know if it is too far away, I won’t consistently attend.

People who were already making 150k+ in their jobs, why did you decide to go to business school?

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

I've been approached about being an expert consultant. Has anyone done this before? I'm interested to hear people's experience.

Hi folks,
Can anyone help for How's us bank account in synechron??

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?

Any single woman up for a drink this evening? 🥳

Hi all - any advice for a first time real estate investor looking to make their first purchase at the end of 2021.

I plan on saving $50K, for a $350-400K property in the Long Island, NY area for my first property. Does this sound reasonable? And does anyone have any experience & advice investing in the LI area?

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).

Thanks all for your input - stay safe!

For anyone that has bought a townhome from Lennar, are the walls fairly well insulated for sound?

What, if any, were your main complaints?

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

For those w investment property, how many of you self manage vs using property manager? This is my first condo, relative new build from 2018 and a family friend jus moved out. I would have self managed but am scared about squatting/evictions esp w Covid and the rent memorandums. Thinking of jus getting the property manager as I am new to this... Advice appreciated.

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?

What is the term for giving your home buyers a credit for immediate renovations they will have to do before or upon moving in? And how does it affect the seller?

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?

If I’m a Real Estate Agent buying my own property, can I negotiate the Buyers Agent commission to be 0% instead of being paid the buyers commission? Essentially converting what would be Income into Cost Savings for tax purposes?

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?

Looking to buy in the DMV suburbs (northern VA). Is this the wrong time for such a move? Beyond down payment, got about 6mo emergency fund and must tap into it for moving&house expenses like furniture

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!

Now that the rents are going higher and housing is not affordable. With wfh option is it good idea to love to ranch with house?

Anyone here invested or opted as primary living place outside of cities?

Thoughts on buying pre-construction homes in markets that are popping and flipping selling them when construction is complete?

My uncle does this (he’s a realtor) and usually gets 2-3x return. Obviously there is huge risk because property prices can change a lot in 1-2 years, but at the same time the upside is hard to ignore.

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)

How much should I invest in buying a HOME as my primary residence.

Current TC: 200k
Net worth: 300k, readily available 170k in stocks, hysa and cash
Current rent: 2000 per month
Age: 30

Wonder if anyone has any excel model or a rule to determine how much I can afford or should go for?

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?
