Wait for the pro-Russia folks in this group who criticize any suggestion of helping Ukrainians to respond 🙄

Although your intentions are great, you should reconsider who youre offering assistance to. Logistically, your offer may be better coordinated through a refugee organization like HIAS. A colleague of mine used to work for them and she noted the refugee screening process was extensive and taking in refugees was more than just providing shelter; not only did my colleague need to find refugees a place to stay, they set them up with their known contacts, provided other resources, etc.

The Consulate is actually working with several such organisations across the board. The idea here is to have a database of leads for the Consulate or any organisation to leverage, should they require additional support. Definitely appreciate the guidance though!

Looking for negotiation advice.

Received an offer with 150k base and 25k bonus. Had a negotiation call where I requested a 10-15% base bump for merit/BATNA reasons. They were receptive.

Follow up call they provided a 13% base increase + an unexpected 41% bonus decrease.

Is this common practice? Any thoughts on countering this? Any specific language you would use?

I realize I never accounted for this scenario and that's on me! Hoping for advice on how best to move forward.

Would love everyone’s thoughts! Which of these two options would you pick if your goal is to buy and hold for appreciation purposes given these are in a very hot market. Both same lot size.

Option 1:
- $175k lot located on very busy street but across the street from new $700k townhomes and restaurants

Option 2:
- $250k 3 bed/1 bath fixer upper located at end of dead end street, houses on street all fixer uppers, located down the street from Option 1 (so also near new builds and restaurants)
