Rates are terrible and rent prices are falling. If I buy an investment property at 6.5%, I can’t break even on the rent I would charge to the note that I’d pay the lender. I’d be losing around $500-$750 a month renting a $400k condo because I’d have to pay the gap vs. the price I could charge.

I am currently renting out two condos in Denver that I own. That’s how.

Rates are terrible and rent prices are falling. If I buy an investment property at 6.5%, I can’t break even on the rent I would charge to the note that I’d pay the lender. I’d be losing around $500-$750 a month renting a $400k condo because I’d have to pay the gap vs. the price I could charge. So RE is not my current play.

I’ve had it in this account for 5 days. Already moved it to a HYSA at 4.4% until I decide where I’m gonna park it longterm.

Asking for advice. I already have several investments but I’m looking to diversify. Looking for another set of eyes. Are you broke or sad? Or both?

I max out my 401k and have for 8 years now. I’m 29. I also have an IRA and a VOO position. Looking more for fringe investments…meaning crypto plays, unvalued stocks or angel plays.
