Either it's true and my blackjack stuff actually costed me like 5 figures in EV [OR] someone who hates me, reported me to the casino with evidence of what I was doing. Which given the circumstances of my keyboard nature is highly possible. All in all, I no longer post that stuff out in public anymore.
As for bay area market, I'm not sweating it too much. IIRC based on recent convo, the interest rate has gotten even higher, so my fixed rate doesnt seem so bad (for now). If it goes through the roof, I guess my partner and I will just have to relocate. Ultimately we chose the bay area for convenience/work/friends, not truly as an investment strategy. With that said, my own personal opinion, outside of work (or you didnt grow up here) I wouldn't want to live in SF/Oakland.
We are actually looking at a second property as a long term rental. And it's certainly not here in the bay.
I found out recently my friend's gf got shot as a BYSTANDER visiting. She was driving through the city and a BULLET went into her. Luckily she survived. It's rough out here in the bay.
Does your girl work in tech and/or required to be in an office in San Fran?
I wonder how many software engineers who studied for years and worked blood, sweat, tears for big tech WHILE living in San Fran end up coming out of the Bay Area with almost no savings/assets (besides the very good job experience) ...
I enjoyed your youtube content ... would follow closely any content / blog you do related to poker, crypto mining, niche investment avenues.
