Why are FIRE minded people into having multiple investment properties? It sounds like a nightmare having to deal with tenants and if you want dividends, can’t you just invest in REIT or preferred stock ETF? Are returns that much better?

Robinhood is going to be the patsy in this one. The funds will continue to be fine.

Is now a good moment to invest (bc of inflation etc)? I have invested a bit over the past years and lost a lit of money- obviously these are long term investments so i hope it will get better over the next monthy/years.
But I’m wondering if I should keep investing now 🤔 any advice much appreciated 🙏

If I leave Deloitte after one full year post MBA will I still get to keep the first installment of tuition or will I need to return it if I don’t stay the full two years?

Do bank managers/loan officers at local branches have any sway in approving loans? I live in a small Midwest town would it be better to go to my local bank and see if people I know there can get a better rate etc on an auto loan?

Looking to build out my 2021 investment strategy over the holidays and looking for resource recommendations on the following.
1- Where to learn/refresh about Options; 2- resource to download or analyze stock data (historical prices) as well as key metrics (PE, YoY revenue growth) to identify stocks as outliers either for shorting or as investment 3 - Paid or unpaid resources that discuss ideas and trends (not necessarily just stock picks).
thanks in advance. And happy holidays!

3. LIC listing gains and further performance is horrible. How much of gain I can look forward to in another 5yrs?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks all

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?
