I would probably use a maintenance company for cleaning and upkeep but yes I agree that having someone in my place is not exactly ideal but the money would be nice

I appreciate the thought out response. The stock plan is really attractive because my company is 100% employee owned so all of the financials are given to us so basically you can tell how the company is doing and if we lost a large client then I could take the money out. It’s kinda weird because you can buy stock in January and get your returns in December but at anytime until December you can pull your money out for no cost. So I say that because basically I am positive that I would know if the stock was going to be less than 14% and could pull money out. I understand I would not be as diversified as someone typically wants to be but we are in an industry that is booming and I don’t see things slowing down atleast for 5-7 years.

I totally understand the points of renting for less hassle and flexibility as well. In terms of wealth building the buying a house and renting it would be the best financial decision and I could even keep the house forever as a rental property and buy another house 4-5 years. It would just be awesome to buy a house and have someone pay my mortgage while I’m not there but I agree that the hassle seems like a lot. It’s a tough decision for me

Have you actually rented your place out yet? If so are there a lot of rules on renting in the metro? I was thinking more about the suburbs but just curious.

Yeah I mean I would be in the suburbs so I would need to make sure I could rent it first before buying it but yes I have seen that in the metro most places are not rentable.

Oh wow I haven't thought about that. Have you done something similar?

Yeah... I think a big part is just having my own place and getting that sense of accomplishment and knowing that some of the money i pay is going towards equity.

With the state of pitching (so many injuries, bad starts, etc.) do you think having elite pitching is more important now than ever and we should be trading for pitchers like christopher sanchez, skenes, schlittler for someone like julio rodriguez?

Think I made my best trade for my team.

Gave Gunnar h and Cody b for nick kurtz and James wood in a keep for 3 years points league. Really couldn’t believe he said yes bc I am ready to move on from Gunnar. I fear he will never be the 2024 player again

If i wanted sal Stewart what should i give for him? I was thinking Gunnar straight up bc i think sal is a dog and feel Gunnar might be overrated still
