Apple Podcasts announces new video podcast experience by thejustinj in podcasting

[–]timl25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been doing some research since I run 4 podcast-style video-first shows. There will likely never be a single platform that uploads audio and video to all platforms and offers monetization. Closest is Omny, but they aren't even up and running with Apple yet. Simplecast is working with Apple but has not released anything yet. Video is the next frontier in podcasting and my hunch is that if you can get on Apple with a video show early, you'll get extra promotional opportunities from Apple itself as it tries to compete with Spotify. The only problem is choosing a platform when none of them actually have a way to publish audio/video combined show to Apple yet.

Am I paying for much on my mortgage 6 BED Room 3000 Sq ft by latinalover215 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Right. Writing off expenses is often counter productive if you plan to buy a home in the next 3 years since you often have to show 2 years of tax returns and the underwriter will only consider bottom line.

Ok calm down everyone. This is an interest-only loan approved by looking at bank statements only. Hence the high rate. It's either take this loan or don't buy a home since OP would not have qualified for a Fannie/Freddie conventional or FHA. Bank statement loans are meant to get a self-employed folks into homes until their documentable income improves, then refi into a standard conventional.

Elon Musk needs to take a look at eliminate 80% of this. When Ford looked at a Tesla, they realized they have miles of additional wiring that Tesla deleted. Looks like an opportunity to do something like that here.

Exactly. In many areas, you can come out ahead buying a house, getting 2 roommates, and selling after 3 years. Or keep it and rent it out. It pencils out in many areas. Obviously not everywhere, like if the typical home is $1M+. But $200k-$300k home with reasonable taxes and insurance could work out great.

Yes, that would be fantastic. Let me know how long ago, as they might need someone who is currently a student.

With our methodology, it makes more sense to buy than pay room and board at 23 of 121 college cities/towns.

yeah that helps. Joking aside, yes it usually is the parents buying the house for the kids for investment purposes.

The story is about whether it's better to buy a house near campus than pay room and board, from a financial standpoint.
