Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!

Would you mind providing details on the advisor who helped you? saving for a pension through a corporate program since the age of 18. I hit greater tax along the road, so I increased my company pension with a SIPP (tax benefits). I'm now 50 and would love to expand my finances more aggressively; there are a few automobiles I still want to drive and a few mega-vacations that I still want to take.

Consider reallocating from real estate to stocks. Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects.

On my third rental in less than a year thanks to slumlords who won’t maintain safe properties. I’ve paid to move three times and rent has increased 20%. I would rather own a small place of my own, than worry about landlords, increasing rents, noisy neighbors, etc. Home ownership is a blessing that few can afford.

@victorespino5650 3 месяца назад

You can rent a Home too. Home rents typically don't increase as much as apartments.

@jrlottery7 3 месяца назад

@cathyg1099 You're EXACTLY right! It's one thing if the monthly rent is lower than a mortgage payment. But, the fact is rents are increasing at a much faster rate - and, in your case, if a landlord is being a slumlord, then all of that squashes the rent, not buy theory. Unless you're living overseas and paying marginal rent, I disagree with renting over buying in the US.

You’re right in the first half; it can. However, buying a house with no money down is exactly what the VA loan is. Debt isn’t something to be afraid of, it’s how you manage your debt. And even if your house was 50% of your income, again it doesn’t matter assuming you’re managing that risk. Yea, buying a house could screw you.

Everything goes in cycles and depends on the local economy. Sometimes it is better to rent vs buy. If you have a family with kids and are in a good school system, it is better to own it since you will be there maybe 20yrs. It is universally true that you should never buy or rent more than you can afford no matter what year.

@EvenStevensDad 3 месяца назад

Something no one talks about is that 30 year fix mortgages are a great inflation hedge. When you have a 30 year mortgage, you're making the same payment (excluding increased taxes and insurance) for all those years. Even at the end of it, you have an appreciated asset and no more payments to make. Meanwhile, rent prices increase almost every year.

Let’s run with that restaurant analogy. If you had a choice between two restaurants, but one gave you ownership equity every time you purchased a meal, where would you eat?

@bvoyelr 3 месяца назад

I'd eat at the place where I enjoyed the food, because a restaurant that sells crap food is going down in value, so it doesn't really matter how much equity you have in it. Same with home ownership. If you buy a fetid craphole in a dangerous neighborhood just so you can say you own your own home, you're missing the world for the trees. We only get one life. Within reason, live it in a place you're happy to go home to every night. If that means you're renting something, so be it -- you should be able to save something on top of that to leverage into a down payment on a mortgage on a decent house if you just plain want to own a home.

When I bought a house in 2021 I ran the Numbers and there was no financial benefit to buying vs renting. I had a dirt cheap rental for my area. Zoom forward a couple years, that rental is now $400 more a month. Prices in our local market have exploded and interest rates are way up. I would've been at the mercy the local rent market instead I'm locked in at a lower price for housing. The house is way better as well. When I go to sell, I'll get the money I have into it plus appreciation.

It is all the same, as with most Americans. The need to "BUY A HOSUE RIGHT NOW TO BE RICH". And that renting is "throwing money away". Glad for Ramit and Graham calling out this faulty logic.

If he's a billionaire, as he claims, he can easily buy a house in cash and only pay for home insurance, property taxes, and other minor expenses, which vary by state and are relatively inexpensive. He could even purchase a multi-family property and have it pay for itself. Meanwhile, when you rent, the owner can kick you out at any time, raise the rent, and limit what you can do to the property. And if it's an apartment, you don't have a private yard or much privacy."

Always comes down to the long term game. Yeah in the short term, renting is cheaper, but it’s a retirement investment, not a traditional investment. Youre not in it to make money, you’re in it to secure a low cost of living when you retire. It’s better to set aside extra money now so that when you retire you don’t have to worry about a landlord dictating your living conditions and how much your rent is going to be. Same principle as investing in a Roth, diligence and sacrifice now means security later

I see the common denominator is labor cost. I you can't fix it yourself, then you'll be racked by the contractors. Regardless of the house being for rental or for yourself, this is a factor. If your not into home improvement, then you're not capitalizing on owning. Why would you improve someone else's house? If you don't do or are not interested in home improvement, then don't own.

One other note. If you are renting you are paying all the maintenance costs, taxes insurance and on top of all that a markup on the property as the landlord wants to make a profit. So they get profit from you paying and the equity in the property. You do get one benefit though and that is flexibility to move.

There was a lot of financial advisors who were telling people to rent instead of buy over the past decade. The problem with that advice, is that you will end up renting for the rest of your life instead of eventually being able to pay off your home and have an asset you could sell if needed. Now with home prices having spiked and rent also going up a lot, people who took that advice are going to never be able to get into a home of their own:

@martinlazar9420 3 месяца назад

Buying a house can make financial sense. It can be much cheaper then rent over the long run and you get equity. But the main purpose of buying at least a primary residence is for you. Buying real estate for profit is a different animal and is for business. I bought my house in 2009 for 357k. It is now worth for 600k. But I have no plan on selling it for at least another 20 years.

At the end of the day, owning a home gives you so much pride, joy, security and sense of belonging. You do not get it from renting. And whatever improvement you made to your home will be yours to keep. If only number matters, then why would someone want to buy BMW and not Toyota? Having a paid for home is still a more secure investment, you are also accumulating equity.

@8:40 Another issue with mortgage interest deductions is that once you hit a certain loan balance, the standard deduction is often such that it offsets the interest on a $250,000 balance (depending on your family situation) so even with that you don't get some huge tax savings for the full term of the mortgage note but only a small part of it.
