If you have a Time Machine and went back to early 2020 then maybe? And then refinance on the way back in early 2021

With just $500k for 5 bd you will need to go across the border to Oklahoma.

Your best bet is Princeton, Prosper, Anna, Melissa (May be out of range)

Frisco and Plano verify difficult to get with the Price range. Good luck

Wait WHAT

SFH? Maybe. Look in areas like Plano, Wylie, Carrolton for North Dallas. You may have to compromise on new or a bedroom, though.

Oak cliff, Garland, grand prairie if you want a cheap place close to downtown. But some of these are super sus hoods

Look at North Oak Cliff. Tons of safe hoods near Bishop Arts. The houses will be old and may need updates but lots of charm and not clones like in the suburbs.

Not in Dallas, in the northern suburbs yes but your commute will be frustrating if you don’t WFH. If you’re fully remote then Plano/Frisco are solid choices

New builders start reducing prices so we will see 4 beds + under 500k soon

For comparison, right now you can get a new build 4K sq foot and 5 bed 4 bath home for 900k

Which suburb?

Red Oak would be a good area to check out as well!

Cedar hill

Plenty actually. Do a Realtor search.

Not 5 bedroom, MAYBE 4 but not a new place, and it would def be in a further suburb.

Does school district matter? Consider south east suburbs like Forney etc?

Try Lewisville

Possibly a 4 bedroom in Carrollton.

DM me. I’m a Realtor, and willing to assist!

Anyone made the transition from NYC to Austin?

I find myself asking why I am in NYC when everything is so damn expensive. Making good money, but limited on savings and quality of life due to the HCOL. Or recs for other cities for that matter.

Parents- how much are you saving for your kids? Married mid 30s and family income is around 200k. We both max employer 401k. Have around 30k debt. Lcol and low mortgage. Would you pay off debt- or focus on kids savings? Oldest kid is 7 years out from college and will have some VA benefits.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
