    House vs apartment which one is better to start

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If you are self-admittedly poor and unable to buy a house then why are even asking the question about whether it would be a good idea to buy ? Figure out how to get some cash and then you can come back to this question.

    PayPal cancels account for password issues

    QUESTION 
    I stopped using paypal recently. Constantly having payments frozen, to me from tenants and from me to contractors. Also, they decided to raise fees as I found out with an unwelcome surprise.

    GOLD! 
    Maybe you can't meet the rules today, but can you work towards meeting them tomorrow? Are there any other excuses you'd like to share as to why you can't do things that other people have and are doing?

    Lawn Maintenance As Service

    EXECUTION 
    I've tried Nextdoor, the platform is a complete mess, especially painful for businesses that work in multiple zip codes, let alone markets/DMVs/etc. I'm sure there is a way to get it to work but I just haven't personally found it.

    Lawn Maintenance As Service

    EXECUTION 
    GLSA is a strange channel. At my W2 I manage it for ~40 markets, nationwide, each with separate profiles. It's very hit or miss and requires a strong ability to pick up the phone & sell. I will say it is absolutely mandatory to get the google guaranteed badge & have good reviews. Miss either one...

    House Hacking as a Method of Generating Capital

    IDEA 
    My first property was in Boulder county, the second was 10 mins out from downtown Denver so I get where you are coming from with the barrier to entry.

    2022 real estate: buy now on low interest or wait for possible bubble pop?

    REAL ESTATE 
    An asset class where demand far exceeds supply, where 90% of homeowners have 30 year fixed mortgages. I fail to see how one could possibly make the argument that there is a bubble here. Corrections in some markets? Sure. Appreciation slowdown or flatlining? Sure. A large-scale 30% loss in...
