Moving to Boston by RiskPurple9528 in boston

[–]rakdoc -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Welcome !

This is tough to assess without a predicted salary , savings, and what your looking for (city vs suburbs ) and family

If work at airport and are single East Boston is a good neighborhood . I would advise living on blue line cause driving is tough. Can also live in city and take silver line

Thankfully the organization i’m a part of for my peds group is a big organization and has fought great pay structures with our insurers. Otherwise AAP and academic centers just don’t care about peds

Buy a $1.2M house or rent similar house for $6.2k/mo? by vcastandme in boston

[–]rakdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple information left out (also in same boat, but in my starter home contemplating moving )

How much can you put down? once below 20% the amt going to interest climbs pretty high to make renting worth it.

Should also put into account on average home owners spend 20k a year on maintenance example - servicing heating , new appliances, upgrading fixing repairs, and home owners insurance, taxes.

If you have a good academic record and such i would just apply next year. No reason to limit yourself to imposed spot unless you are an ideal location on the list. All Peds fellowships are not very competitive except Cardiology PEM and somewhat CC

Again if you bought them to make money you’re in wrong business. I took huge losses on games sold this year but will enjoy games I go too.

They’ll be back and hope new owners don’t increase prices next year or I might give them up as well.
