trying to go to the Tokyo Olympics. Very scarce points plays for accommodations other than maybe Hilton 2 hours from venues. Any advice?

I mean if you’re trying to go during what will inevitably be a peak time in a super crowded and relatively expensive city...maybe just be prepared to pay for it?

i stayed at an airbnb in japan fwiw. no issues really. nobody will ask you anything anyway, since the culture is to never talk to strangers. if they do, you have to say you’re a friend... not that you’re renting.

airbnb is probably the way to go

@OP actually Japan legalized AirBnB last year to make sure there’s rooms for visitors during the Olympics

Just worked in Tokyo for 3 months and heard the chatter

airbnb maybe although how are you calculating distance? 2 hours can be 20-30 min there on the bullet train

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.

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?
