Guys, I interviewed at amex gurgaon 10days ago and was told by VP that I will hear from HR very soon. But when I checked on HR yesterday, she said interviews are still in progress and it will take a week more to finalize.

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.

Anyone buying any stocks tomorrow AM? If so what?

Does having student loans impact your ability to get a mortgage?

Will I be overpaying, if I get a 2017 Lexus RX350 AWD with 49.5 K miles on it for 32K out of door from a dealership near me? This is my first time buying a used car and also anything outside of a Honda. All insights are appreciated.

What stocks are you betting on for 2018?

If 80% of my portfolio is in S&P 500 index funds, I'm assuming holding is a good call? I've held everything thus far. Just wanted some confirmation that I've got a good strategy.

I have $200K in betterment for automated investing (eg 90% stock 10% bond) and use Personal Capital to track all my accounts. Recently personal capital approached me to use their advisory service to manage the investment - the fee is 0.89% vs. 0.25% at betterment. They don’t seem to have a better strategy except “we have a live person managing your investment”. Anyone have experience? Shall I consider it? (I don’t have time /energy to manage it)

How can I lower my taxes? I feel like I pay a LOT (30%+) but don’t get many benefits in return.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
