Jamie Petraglia SF Landlords: How Are You Handling the 5.2% Security Deposit Interest Rate?
25 September 2024 | 6 replies
I would think most landlords, who choose to be landlords in very Tenant friendly San Francisco, would pony up the 5.2% knowing that the rate has gone up and down throughout time, unless they want to run the risk of their tenant's finding out and called out as being a bad landlord, being taken on by the very helpful San Francisco Tenants Union or taken to Small Claims Court.Maybe there is a silver lining in California's recent change in security deposits that limit it to one months rent when it used to be up to 2 month's rent for unfurnished units and up to 3x for furnished units.By the way, I took a look at your Company, https://www.getwhale.co/  Since your firm is only offering 4.2%, were you trying to market in San Fran before discovering the Rent Board rate?

Joyce Kim Personal financial hardship - HELOC vs Home Equity Loan?
25 September 2024 | 12 replies
@Joyce KimHELOC and home equity loan are not the sameEquity line of credit is a line of credit that let’s you withdraw up to specific amount and you can take less and pay interest on what you drawFor example if you had a $50k line of credit you may choose to use $20k of it and it is usually ten years where you can pay it off and draw moreA home equity loan is a second mortgage which is a fixed amount and paid off over a period of timeHELOC is better in my opinion but if you have no income it will be difficult to get approved even with the equity you haveCommon misconception people have is if you have equity you can just take it, that’s not the case the bank also wants to make sure you have the ability to repay it.
