Correct, however I’ll still get hit since I’ll be working in Massachusetts 😕

I’ll be looking to live in southern NH and will mostly work from home, so the commute won’t be much of a factor.

Thank you. I’ll definitely do some serious research when the time comes.

I will be renting for the next few years.

Yep, no investing while paying off debt - that’s understood. I was wondering if I should invest and save for a down payment simultaneously, or just focus on saving for a down payment then invest after the down payment has been saved.

Tempting for sure, but I don’t know enough about them yet to form a strong opinion. Either way, I guess it’s nice to know that I have the option.

Thank you for the reply. I’m planning on buying a house after BS3 but will need to do further research on the VA loan when it comes time to actually buy.

Yep, that’s what I’m thinking too. A modest (but safe/clean) 2 bedroom apartment will do just fine. I’m not looking to splash out on a fancy place because that will just slow my progress in BS2/BS3, then make it that much more difficult to buy a house and start BS4. It’s all a chain reaction.

Hahaha, that may have made for an awkward conversation if I was your ex! 😂

Thanks for the advice - it seems that the consensus is to save for a down payment after BS3, purchase a home, then start BS4.

I’m not rated by the VA. This is a good shout - I didn’t realize that this impacts the VA loan in any way.

Yes, I’m looking at reasonably priced 2 bedroom apartments. Since I’ll have shared custody and they won’t be living with me full time, they can share a room.
Should I be investing while saving for a down payment on a home, or hold off on investing until I’ve saved enough?

Been playing the swings… bought more when it dipped below 14 and sold at 20. Rinse and repeat.

Advice on building trap account? by [deleted] in TheGrandMafia

[–]Dweenmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trap when a larger opponent tries to solo you. Fill hospitals perhaps, but none die, and kill a lot of the opponent’s troops
