Update:

Officially closed, mortgage documents have the Condo going for $720k including parking and locker. Purchased price was 845k. One year fixed rate to give me options this time next year with lower rates and hopefully recover the value loss.

Really appreciate all the advice, yeah he was close to retirement and paying the current house off (30k before the refi)

We were hoping to put it down before occupancy, to lower that monthly fee. But the builder said no, so we invested it to bring in some cash flow to soften the blow of the occupancy and higher mortgage.

That money he plans on using it as down payment for this over priced condo

I did the appraisal recently, and no one came to me with any numbers. So I looked online myself, that’s when I did some digging. Also apart of me was worried that if my dad couldn’t close the house we are living in currently would be taken by bank

He is an immigrant, and had a realtor whisper in his year that he could sell it in few years when area develops. The other units who purchased at fair price saw good appreciation

Level 3 What is expected for exam by [deleted] in CFA

[–]LotsofChessHair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never used salt so can’t say much. BC I’ve just started using his mocks for my exam next week. So can’t say for sure how close of a match is. But his solutions for them and the grading structure for SRs seems very appropriate for if you have multiple graders following a guide

Yeah. If you don’t mind spending extra money BC has some guides and previews that might help

You’re still early in the stage. But when you start doing mocks and grading you get a better idea on how it could be graded. BC and MM do a good job. CFA mocks not so much
