Hi Fishes! Anyone has an insight for the current real estate price now? The RE price in Dallas area is crazy. I plan to buy a rental property in December or next year. Any thoughts on buy now or wait and see?

Pretty naive when it comes to investments. I was talking to the financial planner service my company offers and they suggested a mix of Large Cap Stock 40%, Small Cap Stock 10%, and Foreign Stock 50%. I'm a 27 year old male so still a ways off from retirement. Does this sound reasonable?

Any room for soon to be/aspiring homeowners? I’m buying in SoCal and well.... kinda terrified of the enormity of the purchase.

Fortunate to be sponsored, but am required to pay each semester’s tuition before firm will repay me (they repay quickly, tho). CC fee is high, so wondering if people ever take out a small loan (cont)

Is the market over reacting to Snapchat forecast guidance? Or is there a underlying serious problem (growth and profitability) for social media and tech companies. Very concerned here as my portfolio is down 35%…. I can stomatch that (all 2018-2021 gains wiped out), I am not prepared for another leg down of 20-35%.

Can I be under contract on two homes at once? Let's say A as a 2nd home (will close first) and then B go under contract afterwards as an investment property, that will close much later after the 2nd home?

B will be rented out. I already have a primary home. All 3 are in different locations. Anything else I should be mindful of?

I’ll preface with I’m new at this and learning. But I’m researching if I should do an IRA or back door Roth IRA. And maybe I don’t fully understand how taxes work but what is the benefit of a Roth? From my understanding, the amount of tax you pay is mainly based on your tax bracket. Wouldn’t I pay far less taxes (thus inadvertently getting more money) with a traditional Ira since me being retired would put me in a lower tax bracket than me well along in my career?

24F, moving to NY for a year or so for work. Originally, I was looking in WV, Chelsea, Soho etc to live more downtown, ideally in a luxury building. While I can afford it, I travel a lot personally and am having a hard time justifying the high rent if I’m going to be in and out. Trying to decide if I should find a roommate for the more downtown spots, or go to UWS, really liked it and could be cheaper? For people who travel a lot and live in NY, which neighborhoods and how do you budget?
