Corbin Lane Looking for advice - Unemployed and planning my 2nd purchase
29 October 2020 | 13 replies
Wow these are all excellent replies, I'm so grateful for your help.The common thread has been that I need to get a job, and I could not agree more.It is extremely frustrating to not be bringing in income.Tech can be a difficult industry due to the turnover both of jobs and skill sets.I have been using this time to update my skills by working on several new code projects, as I always do when I have a break.Another good and recurring point was my low cash reserves.It definitely has me feeling nervous.Maybe I could cash out some equity as a last resort, hopefully it will not come to that.The main reason my reserves are so low (aside from the layoff) is that I had to extend myself in order to get the home ready for rental.I did a lot of upgrades in a short time and then moved out of state, which was also somewhat costly.All in all I have few regrets given the way the timing of everything worked out.
