How Larry Page Dodged Millions in Taxes

Next time you daydream about moving to the beach, remember: Google’s Larry Page just scooped up $173 million worth of Miami mansions, not just for the ocean views, but to save a fortune on taxes. By making Florida his home base, he’s skipping out on California’s sky-high income tax. It’s the latest move in the billionaire migration playbook—think sunshine, yachts, and a lot more money left in your pocket if you’re ultra-rich. #RealEstate #MoneyMoves #TaxHacks

How TikTok Landlords Got Burned by Easy Loans

Remember when everyone on TikTok was hyped about becoming a landlord during the pandemic? Many jumped in using DSCR loans—basically, loans that only care if your rent covers the mortgage, not your paycheck. It was all fun and games until rents stopped rising and costs shot up. Now, a lot of those 'mini-moguls' are sweating as bills pile up. Lesson: If it sounds too easy, double-check the fine print before you buy that rental property! #RealEstate #MoneyTips #LandlordLife

Mortgage Rates Drop—Is It Time to Refi?

Here’s a coffee break tip: mortgage rates have dropped to around 5.87% for a 30-year loan, making home buying or refinancing more tempting than it’s been in a while. The catch? Spring’s homebuying rush could push rates up again, so if you’re thinking about locking in a rate, now’s the time to shop around. Don’t forget, you can even buy points to snag a lower rate. Just make sure you’re planning to stay put for a bit! #RealEstate #MortgageRates #HomeBuying

Why Big Homes Stay Empty (and Prices High)

Ever wonder why it’s so hard to find a family-sized home these days? Turns out, a lot of big houses are still owned by empty nesters who have little reason to move. Selling means a hefty tax bill and possibly higher monthly costs in a smaller place. So, many just stay put, leaving families to fight over the few listings that pop up. Until the rules change, don’t expect much to budge! #RealEstate #housingmarket #realestate

Builders are slashing prices and throwing in perks like lower mortgage rates to lure buyers back after sky-high prices scared many off. If you’ve been waiting for a better deal, now’s your chance—monthly payments are down about $240 from last year. The best bargains are popping up in the South and Midwest, so keep your eyes peeled if you’re house hunting! #RealEstate #HomeBuyingTips #MoneyHacks

Do You Really Own Your Home Anymore?

Ever feel like your house is less yours and more like a never-ending group project with the government? New rules and surprise fees mean you’re always checking if you’re still in the clear. Property taxes act like rent you can’t escape, and every home upgrade needs a permission slip. The kicker? All your home’s data is tracked, so privacy is out the window. It’s like your house is on loan from the system, not really yours to keep. #RealEstate #Homeownership #MoneyHacks
