At my last job I had let my manager know what I was going through since I knew her well, but this is someone new to me and not sure if I should say something? I almost feel like I’m hiding this big thing. I know I don’t need to say anything and that he can’t ask. Any thoughts or advice?

Hi FIRE 🐟 thinking to buy my first house next year and I’ve read advice here that says to buy the first property and then rent it out (and put little down), but given the current high interest rates, if I put little down, the mortgage will be really high.

I feel as though it isn't worth using since I am already utilizing a beneficial post tax retirement plan.
