Hi fishes

Has anyone successfully “ported” their mortgage? Just learned about this and doing some research since rates are so high now. Current rate is 3% and new home will be more expensive, for context.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?

Hi all! I need some advice. I came in at a lower level than I wanted and turns out, I did a shitty deal at negotiating.

Like percentage wise, with the fact that I’m about 7-10K underpaid compared to other people with the current title?
