@optionscjp Claude’s postponed Palantir use among SMBs. Teams prefer in-house builds to maintain hierarchy, team size & budgets. AI tools now justify internal efforts. However, many will fail, some will run to needing external support - be Consultants or Palantir
Finally, Celina’s housing cool-down is driven by macro factors: massive pandemic-era overbuilding, high inventory, and spiked mortgage rates forcing a natural correction—not just a niche FHA policy shift. Fast-dropping prices are a supply/demand reality.
@texasrunnerDFW your coverage of the HUD policy shift is factual, but your framing of high-earning H-1B taxpayers as a drain on 'your dollars' or equating them to 'NINJA loans' is misleading and disappointing.👇
We basically did NINJA loans again but this time with non-US citizens
Many homebuilders, such as Bloomfield Homes in Celina, TX offered access to FHA loans for H-1B visa holders through their preferred lenders until May of 2025, when Trump had HUD shut these lending practices down
Some of these FHA loans offered 100% financing through a combination of a standard FHA loan and access to State assisted first time homebuyer grants for the 3% downpayment
Yes, you read that correctly, your tax dollars funded home-buying grants for non-US Citizens during the Biden administration
Is it just a coincidence that home prices began falling at a rapid pace in Celina, TX almost immediately after Trump shut this program down?
How many people bought a brand new home with zero money down at peak 2022-2024 pricing?
You won’t see an impact at a national level, but you WILL see it in certain markets with a lot of H-1B tech workers and new construction
Second, calling these "NINJA" loans is factually wrong. NINJA means No Income, No Job. H-1B holders must have a verified, specialized job and stable income just to stay legally in the US, and they undergo strict underwriting (W-2s, tax returns) to qualify.
@tradeconciencia You probably can find a dedicated online teacher for a fraction of the cost on the other side of the world, and the rest goes into investment? Assess his skills and then move to in-person Kumon if he is falling behind.
@__MrZzz__ I’m doing well, my friend! How are you doing? I’ve learned some lessons, but I’ve been busy in learning and utilizing AI tools to double my regular income. I’m hoping we drop further so I can use the income to buy bags of quality stocks.
@IncomeSharks was spot on about crypto by a large margin compared to @fs_insight.
Due to my bias, I wanted @fs_insight to be right and ignored @IncomeSharks' sell advice.
@MarkNewtonCMT's technical analysis is excellent with equities but not as strong with crypto—unless I simply missed his posts.
@__MrZzz__ Thanks for the thorough reply. I want to offload some $BMNR over exposure for tax harvesting. I’m thinking of trimming some at $3200 and some at $3500. Keep the bag lighter for the possibility of a bull trap.
