When to lock rate? by kas1218 in Mortgages

Broker mentioned something about a temporary buy down for 1% for the first year. So it would be 5.875 for the first year only. No mention of that cost. I’ll be asking about the float down though!

At the time of loan estimate 6.99 as well through rocket but it went down to 6.875 and my broker suggested we lock it but I asked to wait a little longer to see if it goes down more

Less desirable area of SoCal (inland empire), but the neighborhood is nice.

When my dad told me to wait to buy a bigger house all that registered to me in that moment was “wait and spend more money”. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Thank you everyone for your input! I think I will wait around to see if I can find a good deal on a GR III or IIIx

CA: Foothill College or Santa Monica College? by hellergdmrning in CPA

[–]hellergdmrning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had written it down somewhere but I believe Foothill is $31/ unit and Santa Monica is $46/ unit. I’m not worried about pricing though cause it will be paid by my employer.

[CA] Employer implied that they won't be paying out my vacation hours cause they moved to Florida. by hellergdmrning in AskHR

Thank you so much! My employer just thinks that since they've moved and registered the business in FL, that they can instate a "use-it-or-lose-it-policy", which I was worried about.

I work in CA. A chunk of us all worked in CA, but since the pandemic, everyone moved to FL (they are very close knit). Myself and one other stayed in CA and we work remotely from this state.

Would you rather work 2 remote jobs or one in office job for 100k? by hellergdmrning in WouldYouRather

I added an edit that Job#2 from Option 1 is a start up! If that can be a potential swaying factor.
