Mortgage rates are currently at an all time high since 2000(24 years) and based on statistics on inflation, we might see that number skyrocket further, a 30-year fixed rate was only 5% this time last year, so do I just keep waiting for a housing crash before buying or redirect my focus to the equity market

I'm in Michigan, and the housing market here over the past 7-8 years has been unprecedented. Houses that were purchased for $130K in 2015 are now going for $590K. These are tiny, poorly constructed 950-square-foot homes in quiet, mediocre neighborhoods. Meanwhile, nicer, average-sized homes in better neighborhoods that were over $300K a decade ago are now selling for $750K+. It's wild.

It’s worth doing some research before going into it. It’s a lot of information, but it’s all freely available thankfully.

That's not *technically* true. Historically, it has been an investment, and anyone who can afford to own several rental properties can see a great source of primary or secondary income. The problem is that treating real estate as an asset and investment is a horrible idea economically, and the US and China are the biggest offenders by a long shot. Homes aren't supposed to be avenues of generating and storing wealth, they're meant for owning your own property to live in. I wouldn't say that it boils down to *just* a lifestyle decision because of how ridiculously expensive renting has gotten as well. Owning a home is still objectively better, financially speaking (not in every single case of course), than renting when the overall monthly cost is so close. The problem is that with interest rates being so high, general home values being high, AND people buying above their means they're rapidly becoming money sinks. People would be far better served downsizing and putting more money into stock investments instead of a higher ROI, but what the hell are we supposed to downsize to!?

1) Owning an apartment condo is basically having rent control. The averted rent increases are your returns. Same effect as an investment. 2) House ownership is definitely a lifestyle decision. If you want to be solely responsible for an entire building as an amateur property manager, you should expect a LOT of risk. 3) Real estate as a sector is a not very good investment, reits generally underperform the market, and a single unit is an incredibly undiversified and risky investment. But people can get rich from real estate because investment mortgages are essentially a crazy amount of leverage, 5x or more with no margin calls. Small landlords who put their life savings into investment properties have the most incentive to block new housing

I swear I look at zillow and search my region or other regions and the monthly estimate is crazy. Who can honestly afford homes nowadays? I make more than many, save 13% of my income to 401k/roth, drive a paid off old car. YET it doesnt seem I can get a home. I KNOW MANY ARE WORSE OFF THAN ME.

If your area is anything like mine, a mortgage is way WAY more expensive than the rental rates for the same homes. I’m over 40 and have finally settled on a corner of this country to settle down so my wife and I bought a place early this year so we don’t have to deal with landlord, moving, and we can have a huge tax write off on mortgage interest. The place was over $900k and we make double what you do combined and it’s been affordable for us. No kids, one car payment, 15% down.

Do you really love the city that you live in? Are there opportunities to relocate your job? I'm fortunate to have bought a house in Northern California during the 2009 housing crash. So, I am ok. But if I didn't have my house, I would have relocated to my employer's Tulsa, Fort Worth, Jacksonville, or maybe Cincinnati office where I could buy a house without stressing my finances. I like the mountains, ocean, and climate of California. But it's not worth being stressed over money every day. If you can get into an affordable market with a 6-figure income (even if you have to take a pay cut), you would be in a really good position to grow your wealth.

@@patrisio3 thank you for the comment! I checked and I don't have to live here. I can live anywhere. I'm tied due to family. Most of my family is in southern California. I want a small condo as my forever home and I live the region. The problem I have with moving in today's market, is that the ROI isn't as good anymore. The rest of the country went up and when I consider the costs of moving, settling in a cheaper less desirable area very far from family and it's not even that good of a deal anymore, I get turned off. I'm not asking for much a 1 bed condo. I've done my job to have no debt and a good income. If I can't make it, then I KNOW many else can't.

It’s not usually an investment unless you get lucky with timing and/or put a lot of work into it to increase its value.

It can be viewed as an investment in that it is an inflation hedge.

A complete scam. The only people doing well are the rich who get all the profits. Also Realtors have been getting away with highway robbery by getting 6% of the home value as their profit. This makes it more advantageous for them to overprice the home value so they can get more profit which is exactly what happens. And the higher the home price the more insurance and taxes you pay.

The ones my dad owns wouldn’t get repairs then either. To be very clear affordable here are apartments sub $1000 with it being around $400 a room. The government also helps people move into these by covering expenses.

The thing is, investing in the stock market or businesses historically had greater returns than home ownership, as it should; it is way more of a productive use of capital & economic driver. The only reason it was seen as helping to build wealth is most Americans either didn't save/invest/contribute to their retirement & treated their house like a piggy bank. This has reversed with rising/inflated home prices & people now treating housing like a speculation/investment which will only lead to bad outcomes for everyone.

I always wanted to purchase a house bc all my life my family members rented. The more I started looking into what it takes to purchase a house the more I started not wanting to purchase one. Not only are single family homes extremely expensive but all the upfront costs like the deposit, home owners insurance, & home inspection is crazy. What’s even crazier is that you also have to pay every year for property taxes. You literally can’t even own the land that your house is on. While yes, renting isn’t “ideal” but at least you won’t have to worry for the next 20-30 years if you will be able to afford a place to live because especially nowadays all jobs are pretty much not stable anymore meaning you can get laid off at any moment. The worse thing that can happen to a home owner is getting laid off. I will just stick to renting.

Property taxes are socialism. You pay taxes for something you own. It is strange that the US, where socialism is not very popular, have the highest property taxes. In Germany property taxes for an average home are just a few hundred Euros per year and they are just paid for the plot, not for the house. It does not make sense that property taxes increase if the value of your home increases, because unless you sell the home, it does not generate any money. Insurance in Germany is something between 0.1% and 0.2% of the value of the home unless you live in an area with a high risk of natural disasters. So just a few hundred dollars per year. Why is it thousands in the US?

Let’s be clear: The house you are living on is NOT an investment, it is a LIABILITY, at least in the 95% cases. Most people don’t realize that they spent hundred of thousands on interest, (first 20 years your mortgage payments goes more to the interest than the principal) Also add taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, HOAs, etc. If you want a house, FINE! But don’t jump in because you want to brag or be socially accepted. There are many rules for buying a house but the most important is: The mortgage payment AND ALL COST associated with like insurance, HOAs, Repairs, maintenance, taxes, etc, MUST BE 28% of your gross income (preferably net income). Another tip: Instead of saving for the down payment you can invest your savings in a low cost index fund in a Roth IRA account. You can maximize your money and reduce the years of savings and you can withdraw your profits for buying your first home without tax penalties.

PROPERTY TAX NEEDS TO GO (Except for big corporations buying all of the homes and renting them) . paying to keep your "owned" Shelter... IT IS OUTRAGEOUS that you have to pay a yearly tax based on the theorized value of your shelter, to keep YOUR SHELTER, and that tax value is tied to their artificial and purposeful inflation imposed by people who are also linked to an organization that wants to eliminate single family home ownership, among others things, such as vehicle ownership, limit your dietary intake, etc. etc. etc. For local funds, they can levy higher property tax on those major corporations buying up all of the single family homes, aiding in the inability for the average person to own a home, make up some from a fair consumption tax on luxury goods that has a cap on the would-be property tax value ( which would prevent those who cannot afford to buy things from losing their shelter ) and if it cannot meet the difference then public services need re-evaluation because no service is worth losing your home for. Also, a lot of property taxes go towards schools, and most people do not have young school age children any more, and the"education" system is evil anyways ( historically factually designed as blind-obedience-to-authority-training, known as the prussian model, to create slav e-like factory workers). Your ability to own shelter, or have a beautiful shelter, should never be dependent on your ability to give repeated money to the government every year. Its not yours if they can take it or force its sale. This was designed to keep people wage-sl aves becuase most people can never stop working due to the artificial inflation that raises thir home values but does not raise their wages equally or more, and devalues their savings. Property taxes also prevent beautiful architecture because if your home looks nice then they will charge you more. PROPERTY TAX NEEDS TO GO

If you don’t understand that you have never owned property and have no bearing to what you’re saying. Hence why we increase rent it’s not for fun.

@@Mr.Torres-Mr.Towersthe fact that you have properties, plural, is the problem. Almost like other families would like to own those homes.

@@sambulthuis287 ok? You act like these properties were handed to me. It’s called grinding and work ethic my guy. Go to school for a real career not some bs art, accounting, business degree. If you don’t like the fact that a single person/entity can own multiple properties then change the law. Otherwise work for it. I was just trying to explain why rents go up, especially for those of you that don’t own property. The mortgage payment isn’t a constant is my point it will change due to what I mentioned above yearly.

Shhh... let them enjoy the fantasy that because they are renting they are somehow immune from property taxes, interest rates, insurance, maintenance, and repair.

In 2002 we bought our house. The bank approved up to a $385,000 loan based on our income etc. We bought a house for $138,000. First rule of thumb, the bank is wrong about what you can really afford.

Homeownership is not for everyone period. It's ok to rent and never own. The Property Taxes in California are lifetime increasing rents. Many people can't afford housing and they should be careful bringing kids to life too. There's no point bringing more lives to life when you yourself are struggling to pay for food and rent. With these kind of housing expenses, hope is not a strategy.

We need the housing bubble to burst. This market and economy is ridiculous. A reset is desperately needed.

Unless the cost to build new construction also goes down (good luck with that), prices can only drop so much. You're also competing with hedge funds and mega corporations with mountains of cash determined to buy everything available, so thats not helping either.

One should never purchase such a large investment by emotion. Also, one should be financially literate and understand all the ramifications when purchasing a home. Over past few years, people were purchasing with emotion and not their head. They went into bidding wars for overpriced homes. They did not understand about Balloon loans, ARM, Jumbo loans, etc. They did not understand the loan amount was not the only thing you had to pay with a house. Hence, the majority of these buyers are now in a financial mess, some homes have already been foreclosed on , whilst others have sold it pennies on the dollar. On the other side, many who had their homes from the 1940s are seeing their property taxes and home insurance go up because of the mega investors who purchase properties in bulk in their areas, hence increasing their valuations by 50% and more. These people are on fixed income so it is a great financial burden to them, hence, those are losing their homes as well due to fleecing property taxes, though their homes are paid off.

A house is not a asset, but a duplex is. Rent the 2nd unit out and live in the other, all living costs are covered and you live for free while increasing equity on top of your job monthly income. Work smart, not hard

don't quote me on this but You can go up to a 4plex for fha or similar low down payment loans. also don't quote me on this, but duplex live-in investors are probably not super diversified and so have a strong incentive to block construction of real apartments in their neighborhood

Even then with the apartment bans, builders will build them anyway. No, they're not apartments, just very big, ugly, mcmansions, with way more rooms than a family could ever use. You just rent out the rooms instead

I like to save money, I lived with my parents and then I got married and went to live alone with my wife and I was paying $ 1,100 in rent in 2021 for a room, it was more like a studio. Our savings were like $ 90,000. We were looking for a house to buy and live in. The houses here in NY are not cheap and most of the ones that appear for $ 500,000 need repairs. We had been looking for houses and apartments for more than 3 years. And the best thing we did was look for a cooperative and we bought an apartment in cash for $ 80,000. I had to take out a personal loan of $20,000 and I withdrew $20,000 from my Roth IRS retirement account. Right now I have no debt and I only pay the maintenance of the apartment, which is $ 673, and I don't have to worry about anything. If it were a house, then the story would be different.

Maybe they should clarify a few things about property taxes…. Each state sets up their own property tax system. Many (like MN) only use property values to divide up the levies set by local government (city, school, and county). At the most basic level, ignoring homestead calculations and some other programs, they could cut every property value in half then use that new value to divide up the current levy and have virtually no effect on property taxes. Values going up do not create revenue and on their own do not cause tax increase. To sum it up correlation is not causation.
