Hi folks!

Currently interviewing with Mastercard data and services for the consultant role.
Wanted to enquire about the travel opportunities in this role, be it within India or outside. I personally enjoy travelling and have travelled quite a bit during my consultant stint previously. However, not sure of what the norm is within Mastercard.

Thanks!

Clues that you didn’t get the job?

Signing off for the day! Looking forward to continuing the conversation tomorrow. Keep the questions coming :)

Glad you are here to answer our questions. How exactly does landed work?

What happens if a teacher you work with looses their home to a disaster like a fire or earthquake?

Thanks for doing this! How did ya'll at Landed come up with this idea? Super interesting.

My honest opinion is that biggest impediment to home ownership for teacher is our bullshit pay.

My score is 620 nothing outstanding but my student loans are killing me. I cant get approve for a house

I recently closed on a home and felt like I had to claw for 10% of my downpayment - didn't do 20. Do you think it was a mistake to not do 20? It just seems impossible as a teacher.

How does your help help with interest rates if we're only putting 10% down. In addition to a meager down payment, I also worry abt interest :( Definitely didn't get into this for the money

What programs or resources do you have available for Texas teachers?

Ah thank you so much for doing this! My husband and I are planning to dive into this this summer, but frankly it seems impossible. The downpayment thing is pesky

I'm in my second year of TFA, and am thinking of sticking with this teaching thing (crazy, I know). I'm wondering if you have savings accounts I can use to work towards a down payment.

I'm a younger teacher in a high COL area. In terms of wealth building, how does home ownership stack up to other methods like investing in stocks?

Related to a teacher from Indiana who had to make a big repair, how do you recommend we budget for maintenance? I feel like we can work towards downpayment, but maintenance puts it out of reach.

What a great conversation so far! I’m headed to a couple meetings but will check back in soon - keep the questions coming!

I like in Oklahoma where I make 34K per year. Houses aren't that expensive but on top of my other expenses, saving for a house seems nearly impossible.

What's your favorite story helping someone buy a home? I'm going through the process now and it's so stressful. I need a little positivity :)
