Those who’ve bought homes in recent post pandemic years how many homes did you see before you landed on the one you bought?

We’ve been in the market for over a year and have seen probably 3 or 4 dozen houses. We’re picky.

It took me 15 months and I probably saw around 50 homes. (Started in 2021, bought in 2022).

Looked at about 4 dozen over 2 weekends. 4 days of 12 houses a day.

Thanks. Less so for keeping the commission “at home” than to not have them be upset if I end up buying through someone else. Im hoping for anywhere from 50-100 homes that aren’t open homes (open homes would be additional). The challenge is that many homes are staged well in the photos but end being quite the opposite in reality, and end up being a waste of time

I have $20k in savings, I owe $6,000 to my 401k loan, that’s the only loan I got. I am debt free otherwise except for my house. Should I use my savings to pay off? Since people are talking about unemployment and being fired, I wanted to make sure I have enough, 👩🏾‍💻... What should I do? I initially took the loan to add to my home equity when I sell my house for a new house then covid hit.

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.
