Real estate investment worth it right now in a hot seller’s market?

Or is waiting a year or two a better bet?

Currently renting. I want to get a multi-family property and house hack for a bit.

Feels like things are cooling off a lot. Personally I’m waiting another year and getting some cash ready but on the flip side may see higher interest rates. Interested in hearing other people’s thoughts

Given you want a multi family I would say go ahead and buy. In your decision don’t forget to consider a higher interest rate on your future loan cost, the expenses of your current rent and missed profit of the multi family units if you wait.

I’m assuming your goals here but I imagine you don’t plan to sell this place for 15+ years so ultimately getting in sooner rather than later (at a potentially lower price) is probably best. Two years of experience owning a multi family can be looked at as the “costs” if the value does fall during the next two years.

I’m pretty sure this is a buyer’s market right now.

LA, SF

Resume question that I struggle to answer. If someone has been working for ~20 years and has worked at a number of companies during that time (let’s say 10 for the sake of this example), the resume becomes way too long. Is it okay to remove the 1st couple of jobs that were held after college even if relevant? Or maybe delete a job or 2 if they aren’t 100% relevant to the rest of the person’s career? Final option is to leave names of companies (and titles) of early roles but delete the content.

I just took a new job and the OTE is less than agreed to after going through the comp plan. Also the recruiter told me 50% of people were hitting their quota and no one was less than 70% last year. However I found out the last 6 months everyone is less than 10%. I know get that recruiters can mislead with performance metrics but giving the wrong OTE seems super unethical to me. Has anyone had this happen?

Pay off the car early or fund more in 401k?
New job, no prior 401k balance but late career starter at 30 so anxious about retirement. If payoff car loan, I will only be able to contribute 5k to retirement this year (no match 1st year). Car loan is 5.99% and matures 2023. I would divert what would be retirement contributions to paying off the car by Dec this year. This would free up a $540 monthly bill starting Jan 2021. What’s better, higher retirement contributions now, or pay off car now?
