    The housing market is inflated and oversaturated with homes being on the market with astronomical price tags just stagnant for months. It is very clear that our generation will be likely one of the most devastating bubble pops in modern history. Seeking best possible ways to grow 250k into $1m+ and get a good house for retirement, I'm 54.

      I’m closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me. Funny how I pulled in over 80% profit than some of my peers who have been investing for many years. Maybe you should consider this too

    I predict a housing crash due to people buying homes over asking price, lacking equity if prices decline further. Foreclosure becomes likely if they can't afford the house, and selling won't yield profits. With anticipated layoffs and rising living costs, many individuals may face this situation.

    Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

      If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

    The not buying a house does not work in the UK as 90% of rents are higher than a mortgage cost. Also if you want to start a family you need a stable place to raise your children and with renting you can be kicked out within a few months notice and your whole life could be turned upside down.

      In my opinion, making a smart investment is not only a technique for earning passive income, but also a profitable way of saving for future expenses. People who fail to make the proper judgments early in life often come to regret it later in life. Nonetheless, investing alone can be difficult and risky. As a result, I recommend obtaining an expert’s assistance. The challenge is not just watching videos and reading investing books; it is about implementing information effectively.

      I believe that for the market to normalize, there must be a minimum 40% decline in home prices. It is advisable that you get advice for appropriate portfolio allocation from a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure about purchasing a home. That's how I've managed to survive for the past five years and accumulate about $1 million in investment returns.

Despite a large hike in the cash rate to deflate inflationary pressures, housing growth has remained strong. That kind of equity can 100% capitalised on

      There is 55% overlap with the holdings in VOO and VUG. 1 is tech heavy and the other is financials heavy similar, but not the same. VOO tracks the S&P 500; VUG is just focused on large cap growth stocks. VUG is a bit more volatile, but with a higher upside potential. VOO is a bit safer. I’ve never heard anyone advise against multiple ETFs/mutual funds. You just have to be aware of overlap.

    I’ve listened to him for years. He uses the “Don’t buy a house” thing, not because it’s necessarily true, but because it’s controversial and riles people up, which is how he gets people to follow and pay attention to him. It’s a brilliant marketing trick. The truth is that for many, a house is a good way to keep your rent steady, while for others, it’s not that helpful. The answer is it depend, but by taking a strong stake against buying, people will endlessly debate this idea in the comments of his videos, which the UA-cam algorithm loves

    Not everyone buys a house for prestige. I live in a property that I own for a feeling of security and comfort in more ways than one. I lived in rental properties where the owner sold it from under my feet. I had strangers coming through the home I was living in. It was an inconvenience, to say the least. It came at a most inconvenient time when I had to put my energy into looking for another property to live in. So from then on, while renting, I was concerned that the owner may sell the property at any time. I hated the regular inspection of the real estate agent coming through where I lived. Owning my home I can have an animal at any point I choose to, whereas renting requires permission from a landlord who may not agree to it. In certain houses, the landlord won't even let you put a hook on the wall to hang a picture where a picture would belong. I can put my creativity into decorating my home, painting whatever colour I like and making adjustments to improve the function of the house. I am now mortgage free, and I am so glad to achieve my goal.

      I would sooner choose to own my own home; than travel and stay in swanky hotels. I also have part ownership in a small city rental (no mortgage) and the rental return is more than I could make by otherwise investing my money on the stock market - which to be honest, I don't understand, and in the past have only made losses on my investments.

    I would suggest that viewers carefully look at a UA-camr's credentials. Does the "financial expert" have years of experience as a banker, investment banker, Financial Advisor, etc? Do they have an MBA? Do they have a recognized certification? Have they ever held a Series 7 securities license? For example, I have an MBA and worked on Wall Street as a banker for 30 years with large European banks, earned my Series 7 twice (very rare) and was a Financial Advisor for Merrill Lynch for 2 years. Also, people need to stop looking at "get rich quick schemes". Growing your net worth and retirement assets is a marathon, not a sprint.

    Interesting. We bought and sold 2 places in London as a young couple, made a big wodge of cash through hard graft (I was pregnant at the time too, twice). So when we moved to Australia, we could buy a really nice place. Fast forward about 5 years - we became digital nomads. We travelled full time for almost 7 years. The house was rented out, it covered everything. Then we sold it and made a profit last year and moved to a farm property. Love it! So I think it very much depends on the state of the market at that point in time, how much reno work you're able to do yourself and how hard you're going to work. Also, where are you? Markets go hot and cold. London was mega hot back then, when we sold our big house in Australia the market was insane. We went up like $200,000 in value over a year. So, swings and roundabouts, but freedom is priceless. I have no interest in being wealthy. I just love freedom.

    I have an MBA in finance and I can't remotely figure out math where renting would have been better than buying a home where I live. It's not even close. It's not like there's more money to invest if you rent. There's not where I live for sure. Even when you factor in the "maintenance" argument, the math just doesn't match what I've experienced over 20 years of owning a home. I'm easily worth $300k more than I would be if I didn't own my home. I actually have $1500 more dollars a month to invest right now, vs if I was renting my exact same home.

    The best thing I ever did Buying my house almost 20 years ago. Best decision ever instead of throwing my money away on expensive rent far more expensive. I dont pay any morgage since 15 years and it is such a luxury to have your own nest you can leave whenever and always have a secure place to come back to. It is a ki d if freedom as well.
    Be cautious with all this advices and personal opinion.I never met anyone regretting buying their house , it is always a good investment too.

      1. Have a long term mindset.
      2. Be willing to take *risk*.
      3. Be careful, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending.
      4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with an assistant.

    Purchased my first property at 17 yo, my husband bought his first house in the late 90s. We have a combined tally of (5) properties both in CA and in Hawaii, all of them create many thousands of dollars per month in passive income as vacation rentals or travel nurse rentals. We are able to retire early because of this extra income. Rental properties that create passive income that have modest upkeep and maintenance are excellent investments. Good luck.

    The tale of three sisters in the same city: All rented and saved for a long time. Two rented together... until the landlord decided to sell. Both bought separate homes. One struggled a bit in the first 5 years or so, as there were some unexpected maintenance costs in the first few years, and she wanted to pay off her mortgage before she retired. The other was fine as she was not stressed what with her great pension plan. The third continued renting and investing from a very small earnings pool. 20 years later, the homeowners are giving thanks for owning as rents have skyrocketed. The owners actually intended to sell and rent in retirement but realize now that they will not be able to afford to do so. They both exhale with relief every time they think of the purchase choice. The third sister? Well she continues to rent in a very rent-controlled environment, though her landlord has tried every way to find loopholes to increase her rent... and then he sold. She lives in constant panic that she will eventually lose the battle to keep the unit and the very low rent that she's paying now. Should she get evicted, she will not be able to rent any where within 300 km of where she lives now... and forget buying as house prices have quadrupled since her sisters bought! Her savings have not.
    Ownership is not only about money but about security and peace of mind! I would really like this guy to run figures on how he was going to manage the ridiculous rent increases in London, and how that compares to the growth in his portfolio. Numbers matter in all circumstances!

      He's telling you to run the numbers, a lot of people get into the housing market when they can't afford the home. You put yourself into more debt and that takes away your security if you can't afford the repayments. Most people think owning a home is just that you have repayments sorted, there is a lot more involved. I think owning a home is a good thing but they take a lot of maintenance $$$.

    Steven's comment about finding the best market for your skills resonated well with me and I would like to share a bit of perspective on that from personal experience. Right after graduating from college, I took a year to Study Chinese in Taiwan in the 90's .I covered expenses by earning money on the side from teaching English. But teaching english distracted from immersive learning of Chinese. To minimize the time spent, I looked for how to teach fewer hours and spend more time learning and speaking Chinese. Teaching a class of 5 mothers was roughly 3 times per hour of teaching individuals. Then getting a scholarship from the school allowed me to cut back even more on teaching English to focus on learning Chinese. To cut back on teaching, I decided to raise my price until I had the fewer sessions and clients. I kept raising price far beyond the point I thought I the market would lose all interest and was shocked to see there were people willing to pay more per lesson. In these expensive sessions I took the time very seriously for my clients and would work very hard to help them advance. I even got more recommendations to teach more people at higher prices. I try now not to assume what people are willing to spend for higher-end products or services.
