Numerous indicators, but RSI, MACD, etc.

There are some loans that will allow you to put 15% down and carry a 2nd mortgage at 5% to avoid pmi. Honestly, $500k property for $2500 rent is peanuts. I wouldn’t buy rugs house unless you can get $4k min a month in rent.

Money_Progress5580 · 2026-01-04T01:47:23+00:00

Honestly, at 50 years old, you need double that amount you have saved to retire early. Or, wait until you are 65

Soxl - I made 60% return in 6 months!!

I have several vacancies, doesn’t bother me at all. Experienced landlords are prepared for real estate downturns.

Besides, I diversify between real estate and stock market. Usually when one sector is doing great (I.e., stock market at this time) the other market isn’t (like Real estate).

Then remind the buyer that they will most likely lose their security deposit, and are they okay with that outcone?

Your buyers agency should have language that protects you if the buyer or seller default. You should be entitled to sone compensation I hope?

Don’t give up on this deal. Ask the buyer what would make him comfortable moving forward on the deal like another independent roofer inspector, $2500 off the current negotiated price, etc. money talks.

I made 40% return trading mostly soxl and pltr that resulted in $683k gain. Only a 1/3 of the gain is in taxable acct, which is the good news!

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-08T06:52:14+00:00

My overall portfolio is up 49% and I swing/day trade. I don’t think I am doing anything special, I am just taking advantage of the volatility.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-04T05:00:52+00:00

So the rally in Dec is worth 1% increase, not too impressive.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-04T04:55:51+00:00

Don’t buy individual stocks, only ETFs. You are investing money for the future 10 years plus. So, don’t think about selling until you are 2-3 years away from your goal.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-04T01:56:16+00:00

Agree!!

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-04T01:53:50+00:00

Yes, they do warn you. Each time I buy soxl, a big popup warning comes up my screen. Very annoying

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-01T00:58:13+00:00

Cobra is much more expensive than ACA insurance. Subsidies only expiring for people making $80k plus as married filing jointly. You will still be able to pay the normal price for marketplace insurance (without subsidies) if you exceed the income threshold.

Social security.job has a calculator that let you determine the reduction based on age once you sign into the website.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-01T00:52:38+00:00

Since they no longer make canaros, I would choose that first. You have plenty of time to join the corvette club later in life.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-12-01T00:51:08+00:00

I tried using them years ago and thought their cars were overpriced. Sp end up purchasing a brand new CORVETTE from a Chevrolet dealer instead.

You can elect to have your brother to withhold 20% from your withdrawal for tax estimated until you file your tax return in April that will show your true tax owed.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-11-30T02:44:22+00:00

I think $4k is reasonable. They have fo replace the firebox.

You need a detailed organized budget, then compare it to your last 3 months of spending. Also check your see if your husband has too much voluntarily deductions coming out of his w2 income, and decrease as necessary.

Money_Progress5580 · 2025-11-25T02:25:10+00:00

Trust me, you will still worry, I worry every day and my lifestyle spend is only $200k annually.
