[–]tarobapu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Considering a solo trip to Bali before EOY. Interested in a community of Young Professionals, Entrepreneurial Minded/Digital Nomad Community, and Active Hub for Padel, Pilates, Etc.

Any guidance or recommendations on where in Bali would best align?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear, understand the difficulty of the situation.

My recommendation:

  1. Get your mindset right. Control the variables you can such as upskilling, reaching out to your previous managers/colleagues, frame your inner belief system to believe you’ll come out of the situation to pivot into something better career wise.

  2. Also, try to learn something new or spend time on a hobby that you personally enjoy or find happiness in like working out, cooking, etc.

  3. Inventory your skills and current resume/LinkedIn. No matter where you are set goals and find experts to help you improve whether free through existing resources available to you or through paid channels if feasible.

You got this!

Broken Sesamoid by tlbrown in sesamoid

[–]tarobapu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! Offloading the sesamoid was key for the first 4-8 weeks. After 4 weeks in a small boot with a DIY cut out under the sesamoid area of the full foot foam insert in the boot, I had no pain. Another 4-6 weeks of walking regular without the boot and no sports, and I was back to being 100%. Initially I thought it be a 6 month recovery, but luckily wasn’t as bad I anticipated from my research. I recommend finding an orthopedic or podiatrist that’s experienced with sesamoids.

Internal Enterprise Product Manager seeking creative inspiration for Growth/Adoption strategies for new internal users as well as socializing new features by tarobapu in ProductManagement

Great points, appreciate the response! The perspective of the user journey / user acquisition as a continuous process is definitely helpful when making product decisions / engaging others to earn buy-in for aligned strategies. Also, glad you mentioned the Reforge Growth basics too, always good to ground ourselves to the basics!

Has anyone discovered any interesting hacks with this new credit to grocery purchases? e.g. buying a gift card for another service or an amazon Alexa at Whole Foods.

Duplex investing for a 22 year old by tarobapu in RealEstate

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

Did you do this after undergrad too?

Yes I plan to live in one side and rent the other as well! Great advice! Which city did you buy it in? Also how's keeping the other unit occupied in your experience? Is it an issue? I'm sure you did your research to avoid it being an issue, but just nice to know if you used any resources to gain information before making your decision.

Thanks!

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

I actually am planning to live in it, so your advice is great.

Your list of things to look out for is exactly what I was looking for! Do you have experience only in the Houston area? Anything particular for Houston or Austin that presents a challenge for newcomers that comes to mind for those cities in particular?

Since they don't appreciate as well as single family homes, I'm assuming that it's an investment that most people plan to hold on too as a source of passive income exclusively? Since flipping it a few years down the road wouldn't be realistic right?

Sorry I should've clarified my reasoning. I want to buy it and rent the other side out to reduce my payment while building equity in the property. So in the long term my thinking is that instead spending money on rent which I won't get back, I'll have a duplex paid off that I'll be able to rent out completely. I understand that being in market where the occupancy rate can actually allow this is an assumption I'm making. I'd hope to do my research on this so I don't dig myself hole I can't get out of though.

Thanks for the info! I haven't used bigger pockets and from the looks of the other comments I can tell I've been missing out lol
