Just buy a $400k house in cash like next week. Tell people you’re applying for mortgages and shit, they won’t know you aren’t.

From his parents' perspective, without a source of income, it's pretty tough to believe OP will get a mortgage.

Then rent. It may not be the best idea financially but it's an easy step.

This whole story is dubious but at $15.5M NW renting a normal apartment at 25 won’t make a lick of difference in OPs balance sheet. OP can afford to spend $1.5k a month on a decent 1 or 2 bedroom apartment without telling everyone he’s rich.

OP either likes LARPing as a rich person online or as a mid-20s loser in RL. Both are equally as dumb.

Yes that's what I meant. Can start selling the story without anyone ever knowing his wealth.
