i’m trying to determine if I need to just save more money or not. I’m having difficulties with running the numbers and understanding if it’s worth house hacking currently. I currently have about 45K saved for an investment property. Is this enough to start house, hacking when I currently own a property with an interest rate of 3.25% and a remaining balance of 106k and I currently pay 1300 in mortgage.
New to BP and interested in the office side of CRE
Hi everyone, I'm David. I've spent most of my career in the office side of CRE and have followed the ups, downs, and pivots happening in the market. I know many here watch the same trends from the investor perspective, so I'm glad to be part of the conversations. My path has been a little different. I started in coworking around fifteen years ago, which eventually pulled me into helping real estate developers with feasibility work, revenue modeling, and building their own flex office operations.

Get a closer look at 'Godzilla vs. Avengers' #1 • AIPT
Marvel Comics has revealed details on Godzilla vs. titles like X-Men and Fantastic Four, and today, we’ve got a closer look at the monster’s fight with the Avengers. Out on June 18th, the one-shot is written by David F. Walker with art by George Jeanty. “As a child, I was raised on Godzilla movies, and as an adult, the New Avengers was a beautiful reminder of why I love comics,” Walker shared.
A Quiet Night Out
The grey stone of the terraces reflected the moods and minds of the prim and proper wives, and their booming political husbands, and the bland and brooding youth who lived here in this lost little town, mad and proud, where time stands still, hidden away somewhere in the grim and windy Northern most reaches of Albion, where people come, but seldom, to be forgotten and to dissipate into the mist. It was dark now, and the town, full of cobblestones and drizzle as it always was, was deserted.
Holiday guide to gift books
So you looked at the calendar the other day and… eeeek. You’re not very far away at all to the holidays and you’re way too uncomfortably far away from having everything ready.

Review: New graphic novels look at vampire love, goblins and Mark Twain’s Jim, who is having a big year
Four new graphic novels showcase a range of approaches and subjects, from deadpan horror comedy to a subversive retelling of an American classic, a fantasy adventure about a magical world next to our own and an odds-and-ends collection from an American master that is more than the sum of its parts. Big Jim and the White Boy By: David F. Walker, Marcus Kwame Anderson. Publisher: Ten Speed Graphic, 288 pages, $35.
New graphic novels look at vampire love, goblins and Mark Twain’s Jim, who is having a big year
First published in 2008 and now getting a long-overdue reissue, Abel and Soria’s “Life Sucks” is based on an old premise: boy likes girl who likes boy though not enough to break up with her creep boyfriend. But the authors juice the story with a bloody twist: The girl, Rosa, is a vampire-worshipping goth who’s unaware that the boy, Dave, is undead. The story is grounded in Dave’s workaday existence.
A safe and healthy summer break
Mindful Missives by Dr. David Walker, Christian Counselor We’re almost there. It’s been a school year full of new friends, new experiences, and lots of learning. But the song you hear the cicadas singing is the song of summer. The kids have dutifully turned in all of their assignments, completed all of their testing, and are ready for the promise of long free days enjoying summer fun to be fulfilled.
Beyond The 1619 Project: Books About Black History
In August 1619, the first enslaved Africans were brought to North America. 400 years later, American society is still racially divided and unequal on almost every institutional level, from prisons to universities. Inspired by The 1619 Project, we’ve compiled a list of essential nonfiction books that focus on the work towards continued liberation, center African Americans in the story of American democracy, and examine the flawed power structure that has shaped our country since its founding day.

A Bit Of This And A Dab Of That

Part II: Lessons Learned From Period 11
While the first day of school was challenging, I discovered something rather interesting as a new teacher. It is an idea that now seems very foolish of me to have even considered in the first place: that the first day is an accurate gauge for how that class will behave the rest of the year. How naive I was! My 11th period was rather quiet that first day of school. They seemed attentive.

My First Day As A Teacher
I felt like I had run two back-to-back marathons without any prior training. Or more accurately, perhaps it felt like I was running through Death Valley at noon, in the middle of summer, while wearing a black sweatsuit. I was exhausted.

The appeal of retro electronics
The appeal of retro electronics, part 1 - a 90s Windows 3.11 laptop. Repairing and using a Toshiba Satellite T1960CS laptop. by David Walker This is admittedly a rather self indulgent ramble on old computer kit but perhaps of interest to some folk. The 70s My first experiences with computers was in the 70s when a short course on Fortran programming formed part of the university chemistry course. This was in the days of mainframes of course attended by acolytes but never seen by the user.
The ‘Tree of Life’ at Aburi Botanical Gardens: A Remarkable Carved Testament to Nature’s Resilience
Just a month ago, I had the privilege of venturing into the enchanting realm of Aburi Botanical Gardens, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Aburi, Ghana. What awaited me was truly awe-inspiring, an experience heightened by the guidance of remarkably skilled docents.
1980s Adidas Guam trainers reissued
Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. I love a niche reissue – and it doesn’t get much more niche than the return of the 1980s Adidas Guam trainers. Niche because this shoe didn’t see the light of day in most countries and, as such, is something of a rarity. At least, it was until Adidas gave this lesser-seen trainer a reissue this week.
Summer break and your child’s mental health
Mindful Missives by Dr. David Walker, Christian Counselor I remember it like it was yesterday. The thrill of summer break from school. I remember the last day of school my 4th grade year. When I got home I tossed my backpack in the corner of my room and kicked my shoes off into the closet.
Summer break and your child’s mental health
I remember it like it was yesterday. The thrill of summer break from school. I remember the last day of school my fourth-grade year. When I got home, I tossed my backpack in the corner of my room and kicked my shoes off into the closet. I lingered for a moment looking at my shoes and thought, “I’m not putting those things on again until school starts back!” Of course that was a Friday and come Sunday I had the shoes on again as we headed to church.

If old-school street art is your thing, then you might want to pick up this amazing Swatch X Jean-Michel Basquiat Triptych watch set. Of course, you can pick up each of these watches separately. But if you have the money, you might as well go all in. As you get them with the extra packaging and, as a result, some extra collectability.

1980s Adidas Harlem trainers return to the shelves
Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. Rarely – if ever – seen in 40 years, the 1980s Adidas Harlem trainers return to the shelves as a limited edition. That means they will sell out quickly. So if old-school basketball shoes are your thing, get on these quickly before all the sizes are snapped up.
Vintage-style Lois Tejana cord jacket
Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. A classic of the 1970s, this Lois Tejana cord jacket is still popular today, especially at this time of year. I say the 1970s because this was first seen back then but was still going strong well into the 1980s. A minor classic of the era and a timeless design. This is a jacket that will never go out of fashion.
Billy Liar pop art prints by Art & Hue
Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. Art & Hue is celebrating 60 years of the British New Wave classic with these eye-catching Billy Liar pop art prints. Yes, 60 years since this northern classic made its debut at the cinema. If you want the exact date, it was 15th August 1963. So a little early for the exact anniversary, but you get the idea.
John Lennon-inspired Help! top by 66 Clothing
Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. Fancy something sixties in your wardrobe? Then have a look at this John Lennon-inspired Help! top by Mod Shoes. Not just inspired. This is pretty much a copy of a top worn by John Lennon in the classic Beatles movie Help! back in 1965. For me, that 1965/66 era of The Beatles was when they were at their best musically and sartorially.
Joanie x Horrockses Fashions vintage-style dresses
Note all articles are independently researched and written by myself. However, if you buy via one of the links it may be an affiliate and I may earn a small commission. Iconic prints made into modern retro fashion? That’ll be the Joanie x Horrockses Fashions vintage-style dresses. It’s the kind of thing that always tweaks my interest. I’m a massive fan of 1950s prints, and as far as I am concerned, they shouldn’t be locked away in an archive.

A tribute to Milly-Rose - a sky blue angel
Manchester City’s 3-1 victory at Arsenal on Wednesday night meant the tussle for the Premier League title was well and truly back on. The time honoured chant – ‘Fight ‘Til The End – rang out loud from the exuberant travelling fans, as City went top of the table. Beautiful Blue Angel - Milly-Rose loved City and going to the Etihad.

Helping GPs to diagnose children’s cancer
It is a misconception that cancer is rare in children and young people (CYP, aged <21 years), which contributes to GPs and paediatricians feeling inhibited from initiating cancer investigations until they are clearly progressive. This contributes to risk of delays in diagnosis and consequent adverse outcomes.

John Hawkins Speaks 1/31/21 - America Now Has One Rule Book for Ordinary People and Another for the Elites. One thing you can say for sure is that this would be a very different country if the people that made the rules expected to have to live by them. Do you think politicians would have been so eager to put people out of work by locking down the country if it meant they wouldn’t have gotten paid either?
Falcons offense vs. Raiders defense: who wins this matchup?
The Falcons offense has been a disappointment again this year. Todd Gurley can’t get going in this running scheme. The team has scored 30 points just 3 times in 10 games and has been held to 25 points or less 6 times. Will a matchup against the Raiders help fix these poor trends? Let’s take a look. In the trenches The Falcons offensive line got abused by the Saints. This is a capable unit, but they were a disaster last Sunday.
Falcoholic Podcast: Send us your thoughts and voicemails on the Vikings win
Even though the Falcons are sitting at 1-5, there’s suddenly a lot of enthusiasm for the team after an impressive and dominating win on the road against the Vikings. Key players like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Deion Jones and A.J. Terrell all had great games en route to the 40-23 blow-out win. Even better, the team held on to the lead in the second half, showing the mentality of this team at least seems different from before. Is it the players? Is it new interim head coach Raheem Morris?
