We’re in the position of my spouse having a high w2 income and we’re contemplating having me be a real estate professional to shield his w2 income. We own 3 rental properties and will add another this year, I am materially involved in these, so I’d just have to solely focus on those and drop my 1099 consulting work and full time w2. Has anybody had experience with this and successfully shielded a w2 income?

I have recently received an offer from HSBC for Data Engineer profile. The designation offered is Senior Analyst- Information Management. They said that it is a techno functional role. Does anyone have an idea about what techno functional role actually is in HSBC? Is it more like a Business Analyst? My prior experience is completely in Technical side. Will this role be suitable for me?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you.

I have applied to 42 jobs and received 20 rejections, with 0 opportunities to even interview.

My resume is from WSO template, and I used suggested wording from various popular resume websites.

I don’t understand why I’ve gotten such a large amount of rejections. Am I applying to position in under or over qualified for? Does my resume suck? Is it just a bad time to apply? How do I improve from here?

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

Got an agent and she was useless for finding good tenants. Got frustrated and finally started finding leads myself and closing on one soon.
