What's a good % of your gross income to be spending on housing? Does it differ if you're paying the mortgage vs renting?

Lenders will generally say that under 28% is ideal when buying. As far as renting, I would try to stay about the same or less depending on your goal.

What did you do with your RSU’s after it vested? Did you keep it or was it sold and reinvest to another stock/fund/etf?

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Anyone able to get a mortgage with student loans default?

Looking at buying a house in Charleston, SC, then I want to get back to buying rental property. I already have two but would like to grow to 10 in the next 5 years. Is that possible and what are some ways to get some capital.

Hello, I am going crazy. I am supposed to close on a house on Tuesday. The buyer did not perform an inspection and the lender did not order an appraisal. The lawyer says that everything is good on her hand but I am not sure if she is the deciding factor here. Can a home close without a physical appraisal ? I don’t have a closing time yet, just the date. My realtor reached to the lender and have no heard back.

Any good CPA recommendations specializing in rental properties and LLCs (for a separate business)? Had a tough time doing my taxes this year. I'm in NYC if it makes a difference, but open to non-local CPAs
