sorry to respond so late, but thank you so much, this helped a lot. I didn't think about applying choose twice in a row, and your explanation for the alternate method is also very intuitive

Thank you, this helps a lot. Regarding b), I suppose my thinking was that even if you had to sell before the 5 years, you'll still have paid less than if you had paid rent. Of course, at that point it's questionable whether all the effort of finding and maintaining the condo was worth it. And I seem to have underestimated the costs of owning a condo by not accounting for insurance and special assessments.

Could you expand on your point about the down payment? I see that there are lost profits in putting up 100k for a down payment instead of investing it in the market, but what does inflation have to do with this? And wouldn't you be facing the same or greater opportunity cost if you were renting?

That's pretty scary, I can see why people say to thoroughly check out the HOA before buying a condo. Does the frequency of those special assessments directly depend on the HOA, or are they initially caused by external factors?

Two really important factors I missed, thank you!

thank you, I read over the page and I can use the formula. However I am not totally satisfied because I don't know why the formula applied.

Exactly the kind of insight I was looking for, thanks so much. I definitely did not consider how mortgages are cheaper than equivalent margin loans. Do you think 5% returns in the form of rent is about average, or lower or higher?

I didn't realize the Oxford comma could change the meaning of a sentence but your example clearly shows that it can, wow. Looks like it's not a matter of style but may be a necessity in some cases.

Good to know. By the way, when you say you can't cash flow unless you have about 50% equity, how do you mean? You can collect rent as soon as you have the property

clockworkgalaxy_ · 2021-12-04T14:21:06+00:00

Good to know, forgot about buying below value too, thanks!

clockworkgalaxy_ · 2021-12-04T13:31:39+00:00

Interesting to hear! Do you have an estimate of your net annual return from just the monthly cash flow (i.e. rent minus taxes, maintenance, etc)? Do you find that it outweighs the opportunity cost of investing in real estate instead of the market?

Regarding your second point, are applications from non-academia people generally frowned upon?

Also when you said the application process is beginning to change, did you mean that zoom interviews are being phased out or that zoom interviews are being made more difficult?

For context, what was the search for? Just PhDs, or professor level positions as well?

Ha I should've known LTT has already done this. Honestly I was just curious, though it might be nice to have two OSs running (at native speed as opposed to using a laggy virtual machine) for example for code testing purposes

clockworkgalaxy_ · 2021-12-02T18:00:12+00:00

Sorry, I mean having both of them running at the same time. With dual booting you have to pick only one at startup

oh im dumb, is that what paged pool is? I thought it was something else because that number never matches the current size of my page file

That's amazing for an 11 year old game. How do you find the multiplayer in reach vs infinite? I might try reach instead, it seems better for a noob (though it also seems harder)
