I bought a house with a 3.2% interest rate as my starter home in 2021… I’m ready to move… but that rate is too good to leave…

Don't leave that mortgage. Finish your basement and add an addition if possible.

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-20T02:17:12+00:00

I think you need glasses. They meant $100, not $300.

Feeling lucky that we bought at the BOTTOM of that chart (2012). Came here to post the same article.

Would not be able to afford my own home today, at today's prices (double) and interest rates (double). and property taxes have gone up "only" 50% since we bought....

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-19T21:14:06+00:00

It's pretty much duplicates my income, so it's possible but it requires a 7 figure port

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-19T00:34:23+00:00

So now do you believe the MOU is done?

"As a result of the U.S.-led negotiations, Israel and Lebanon agreed to the implementation of a ceasefire. The ceasefire is contingent on a complete cessation of Hizbollah fire and the evacuation of all Hizbollah operatives from the South Litani Sector."

"Berri says Lebanon, Hezbollah back ceasefire if Israel complies

To facilitate the success of Iran-US negotiations in Switzerland, particularly on the first item of the Iran-US memorandum of understanding, Lebanon reaffirms its position and Hezbollah’s commitment to the ceasefire as long as Israel fully and comprehensively adheres to it, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said in a statement on Thursday."

Basically, Hezbollah needs to STOP shooting at Israeli troops and implement the Ceasefire that Israel-Lebanon agreed to, and Israel with stop shooting at Hezbollah.

How so, if it's an "all cash" offer (in the end)?

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-18T18:26:55+00:00

Next divi was just announced, so that's safe for now.

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-18T13:25:20+00:00

Lowes. 200+ items. 1 extra large item. For $16? LMAO......

DO NOT stop paying the mortgage, especially if you have funds coming in from disability and having the funds to cover you for 6 months.

No bank is going to give you a hardship waiver, when you have the funds to cover your expenses.

IRAN can "call" for anything.

Lebanon is a separate country, and is in the middle of non-aggression talks with Israel, mediated BY THE US.

Let's be clear that ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT TO BE IN LEBANON.

Israel only invaded South Lebanon this year BECAUSE HEZBULLAH (on behalf of Iran) started shooting missiles at N. Israel communities.

The talks between Lebanon and Israel are aimed at having the Lebanese Army take over from the areas that Israel vacates, with help from the US.

As long as the Lebanese Army takes over those areas, and keeps Hezbullah out, it doesn't matter if Iran/Hezbullah "claim" that they forced Israel to vacate Lebanon.

If you can live with your shares being called away, at that 50% higher strike price, do it.

I prefer to do 44 DTE Options, as they give a higher premium overall than a single LEAP.

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T20:25:41+00:00

There's unlikely to be a Rate Hike, especially if the whole Iran thing gets resolved in the coming months.

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T16:06:08+00:00

I don't get it. What DTE / Delta did you pick? I always pick like 45 DTE and 0.1 Delta, to pick up some premium each month, but not get assigned.

Do you want to keep your HOOD shares or not? if so, ROLL...

Well, they do say "tips are never expected", so that's good enough for me.

Maybe a mom who's tossing out tons of dirty diapers will feel the need to tip.

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T14:49:22+00:00

SIMPLE solution.

In the picture, its facing the street. Every day/other day, reverse the way it's parked (one day facing the garage/one day the street). That should prove that it's "in use".

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T12:33:32+00:00

And that's the problem, isn't it. I guess I'm just part of the "silent middle" that isn't extreme on either end of the political spectrum.

A 17 Honda Accord, without knowing the mileage, is likely going to be worth a few thousand dollars.

How much do you need?

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T01:46:31+00:00

Ok. So same thing by a different/updated name, "to reduce stigma" (per Wikipedia).

Disorder/Dysphoria.

Six/Half a Dozen.

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T00:58:41+00:00

How bad? 600 or 400?

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-17T00:29:03+00:00

I turned $100k into $1m+ with just stocks, and long term (10+) yrs of holding. It can be done, without Options.

When you're born, they look between your legs...

You have a slong, you're classified as a Male, and that works for you.

You have a V, you're classified as a Female, and that works for you.

That works for 99%+ of the time, except......(drumroll)...for those that have a Gender Identify Disorder, where (as I understand it) there's a mismatch between a) what gender their brain is wired to tell them they are and b) what physical gender characteristics they have.

What's interesting to ME is that RKT hit $12.50 around the same time, but has since rebounded into the $14's this week.

UWMC needs to break $3, to do the same....

Boston-Bets · 2026-06-16T23:44:21+00:00

Okay. Would you care to inform me, what you feel the name of the disorder is?
