Took personal loan of 30k a year ago and have 20k left to be paid. My savings are 50k which I saved to invest in real estate. Should I use them to clear the loan or use them for investment?

Hello All,

Hope you are doing well.
I require your suggestions on the below.

Currently, I'm an ETL Developer having skills in DataStage tool, Autosys Schedule tool, Unix, Linux, Oracle & Teradata SQL, shell scripting, C++, Data Structures with 3 YOE, and now I'm planning to switch to a Data Engineer role within next 2 months but I'm confused about how to start and which courses should I be taking up.

Help is highly appreciated, looking forward to your response and if any openings.

Landlord is raising my rent by $436/month next year - a 21% increase! Horrible!

I thought the housing market cooling down would have prevented this or made it closer to a 10% increase, even with inflation. I guess it may be time to buy, but my wealth is tied up in stocks so I can’t afford a sizable down payment. Where did you pull your down payments from?

I literally can't remember the last time I went grocery shopping. It must have been years...

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?
