When do you think you’ll be ready to purchase your first home. I work in tech in the Seattle area and turning 25 soon. I make about 160k a year and know that I’ll probably be here for the foreseeable future, so buying makes sense. But even townhomes in Seattle are going for 800k ($1m on the east side) so I’m not sure if it’s worth becoming house poor when I can continue to rent a nice place for $1500 (good friend as a roommate) while saving 50-60% of my net income.

Anyone know if you can cancel your Chase Sapphire Preferred after 3 years and get Chase Reserve and still be eligible for the signup bonus points?

I don’t get why even the most reputable financial news still try to attribute market moves to people. It’s not individual investors who are in control of day-to-day moves anymore, it’s algorithms.

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding. If I understand correctly, the sole disadvantage this has compared to a tax sheltered retirement account is that the quarterly dividends will be taxed? But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.

Where is everybody putting their money right now?

I am already close to maxing my 401K, maxed my IRA, and purchased $10k in I-Bond. The remainder of my investing goes into a taxable brokerage account.

How big is to big for an initial investment property. Theres a 20 SFH portfolio for sale by me for about a mil. Is this to big to start with initially? I'm less worried about the Financials (feel comfortable on that end) and more worried about the managerial aspect.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
