    I listened to Jay's 4:44 and decided that I was tired of this oppressive rent s--- and it was time to invest in real estate.

    It's a new build expected to be done ~February (but with COVID and the hurricanes, who knows) so if anybody has any advice on those it'd be appreciated

    Just got off the phone with @dna hits from jail. He wants to know if you have a room to rent out when he gets out of jail. Something with a lot of ventilation and sound proofing. He's willing to pay 2 cartons of lucky strikes a month

    Yea aren't they having hurricanes/tropical storms down near TX or something? (I'm just relaying what the builders were rattling off, lol. Apparently supply availability is pretty volatile right now)

    And yea my girlfriend and I started renting in Utah about a year ago, but we're dishing out $1,445 a month for that.

    We ended up getting a house down in Arizona because it's actually affordable. Utah has literal trailers going for $300k+. Looking forward to actually having liquor and scratch-offs in gas stations again.

    I'll be sure to keep the forum updated on any and all of this throughout the process, lol.

    I'm curious to see how the inevitable shift to remote culture* will impact salaries across the board, tbh.

    *I say this like it hasn't already been around for years, lol. Our software company is a dinosaur and only allowed people to have 12 work-from-home days before COVID hit. Now everybody is currently remote and performance is up across the board, lol.

    Imagine living in the middle of Nebraska but working for a California-based company making California wages (assuming the company standardizes pay based on position and not location, or at least weighs location less).

    Good for you man. Owning property is probably the single most important investment you can make in your life.

    owning a home is amazing. If you can afford paying rent, you can afford a home. imagine your rent money going into something that you can actually sell. EQUITY!

    EDIT: I own land and 2 properties at the moment. 1 is being rented out.

    Congrats man! You living in a gated community in scottsdale? :emoji_sunglasses: Not a fan of the phoenix area myself but I f--- with Flagstaff as far as Arizona goes. I have friends and cousins that live in phoenix and love it though.

    I went to my (a different) cousin's wedding (mormon) in Salt Lake City a few years ago and my other (non-arizona, non-mormon) cousin and I went out to a bar for a drink, I was like "can I have a double whiskey and coke please" and they were like "no you can't this is Utah where are you from" lol. 3.2% beers and you can't order a double.

    Congrats man! That's awesome. I'm in Maryland trying to buy a house and it's f---ing difficult right now. Interest rates are super low, but every house is going for way over original asking price
