    I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my third house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now.

      I can feel your pains. New guys need to realize the risks that come with all of this. You could lose it all and you could win it all. It goes both ways. Second, what works for A may not necessarily work for B and you should not be a bandwagon investor. A good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge.

Always had food. Never without. Amazing what managing money can do for you. I learned to apply those principles later in life..

    Wife and I bought a house a little over 2 years ago, realized it was not a blessing but just a headache. We fixed it up and did all the landscaping etc by ourselves. We sold it a couple months ago and made out pretty good on the market. We downsized to a condo which we paid cash for and fixed it up a little. The condo is located across the street from a major hospital here and a Nurse is now renting it out for $1800. We now live in another condo which we plan on paying off by the end of this year to do the same thing. Long story- just really sit back and think what you want out of real estate. I would rather own a bunch of properties outright with no debt rather than have a big house and a 3 car garage. Just my personal experience to share.

    The only reason that I purchased my home instead of continuing to rent was that rent in my region has consistently gone up by between 5 and 15% for the last several years with no sign of it stopping in the near future. By buying, I was able to lock in the same payment for the next 30 years. I can budget for maintenance and repairs, but I don't think I can keep my income increasing by 15% a year consistently to keep up with the rent.

    As a REALTOR working with first-time homebuyers I always tell them to remember that if they buy and have a problem they need to realize that when you call the landlord you’ll be calling yourself. Also once pre-approved for a loan ask yourself what house payment you’re going to be comfortable with. It’s no fun being mortgage poor. Not fun to go out to eat with friends and order water with lemon because that’s all you can afford.

    Good video. My late father gave me similar advice a long time ago - smallest home (but good bones) in the most expensive neighborhood you can afford. About location - consider quality of schools, access to shopping and healthcare (nearest hospitals) and transportation. Lastly if it is a good place to live - don’t sweat home price fluctuations over the years - it’s about the goal of owning a place you love to live

Sometimes when "life" forces you to slow down...LISTEN TO LIFE! Appraisal came back 25K over purchase price.

How much does that house really cost you after adding in the interest you have been paying for 5yrs-30yrs? Great discussion..

Then find a desperate developer who needs cash and make a low-ball offer. Buy a few if you can....saw it happen where I came from - recession hit.

    @HciR525 5 років тому +6

    buying real estate with debt is a good idea if you buy the house at a good/undervalued price (doing a month at least of research in areas you want to buy), use at least 10% down, and have a 5K-10K of addl money as a safety fund for the housing expenses after you move in. Long run (more than 5 years)... buying is better for you financially than renting-if you meet the above conditions. Dave's is too absolutist about debt-helps him sell books and seminars, but if you have decent financial literacy-using leverage VERY CAREFULLY absolutely increases your wealth faster in real estate than if you wait to pay down all your mortgage debt before buying again.

    We live in a white hot Portland OR market where my hubby's 4 bed/ 2 bath doublewide (he paid $135K for it before he met me in 2015) is worth at least $215K (probably more) just because of the land and location. He bought it as an investment to rent out in a few years. Similar lot sizes down the street start at 200K now, starter homes start at 350K. I don't particularly care for the seams in the walls (some of you know those mobile home seams), but it is what we can afford very comfortably on one salary and on a 15 year mortgage.

    The reason I strived to buy a house is because I hate having a landlord. Even a good landlord is still a landlord. I'm willing to pay more for a house to get rid of the landlord.

    I just purchased a single wide on acre lot in Concord NC few miles north of charlotte just off hi traffic exit ramp for $40k w/ a previous list price of $625k. Area will potentially be zoned commercial. I’m building my retirement income and that single wide is worth more to me at $1200 per month. I also purchased 3 homes from Suntrust bank for $33k few years back now worth $100k each. I rent to section 8 only because I don’t have to chase the money. In 20 years I’ve only had one tenant that I didn’t have to chase the money thusly I stopped investing in $100k houses I had to mortgage. Don’t have to chase the money via HUD. I buy the cheapest ghetto $15k properties to upfit. It’s the best return my wife & I have ever received. We’re both small business owners and during the Obama stress we lost our IRA’s and learned a lot on what’s bullet proof out there.

    I paid my house off at 40 years old. My house is worth $120,000. I have calculated that I need to save $175 a week to run my house. This is not for taxes, insurance, utilities.
    This is a replacement cost for anything in or out of my house that needs replaced.
    Everything has a life span.
    The windows,roof, funiture,
    Finance,AC, carpet, Appliances,beds,tvs,paint,lawn care. None of this money is for my personal needs it is to run my house like it was a business for the next 30 years. Total $275,000

    Real estate is very different depending on each state, in Texas and in most states they have down payment assistance programs. In texas it's really not that hard to qualify for first a time buyers bonus you can get a starter home in Houston for Abt 100k-135k with 5k-6k down depending on location Divide that by 30yrs your paying abt $277.00- $375.00 plus around $250-$350 tax&insurance your monthly mortgage can run you abt $630-$725 under 1k a month, right now in the rental market in Houston two beds one bath rentals starts at $850, it's cheaper to own and you can always sell your house get your money plus a little sum back after Abt 5yrs.

    People spend way too much on houses and cars. If you quit doing this you might just become a millionaire. I know couples that live in houses so big they never go into rooms and they pay over a thousand a month just in home taxes. Fine if you have it but saving that will make you a millionaire. Add cutting the $500 car payment then you can really get ahead.

    The company I work for owns all the housing up here. They rent it out to us at a really cheap rate because no one wants to live out here in the middle of nowhere, with the nearest cities three hours' drive away. Until I eventually move out to a different operation, it's extraordinarily cheaper to rent.

    I'm 26, Going to school in Sept. A year program and should land me a $60k job afterwards. I'm used to living on 24k or less. I'm trying to create a plan so it doesn't get to my head. I wanna buy land, Build a house and maybe have a market garden as a side gig. I'll likely have to move around for work at the start. So i'm thinking of buying a campervan and converting it to live in full time for a couple years. Partially because I already camp a lot and always wanted one. But also because I think paying for the camper and parking close to work would be cheaper than paying for rent, utilities and vehicle maintenance/insurance etc. And give me a lot more freedom. When im ready and the time is right I'll buy a plot of land to park on and build something.

    Establish relationships with handy men who work by themselves. Then shop and buy for your own material. The fixes take longer but you spend 1/5-1/4 for the repairs. One step further, always be there and help that person. Learn what they are doing.

    The need for Title Insurance is a local issue: in some parts of the country it's the rule, some banks require it for a mortgage, in some places the attorney does a quick definition of title insurance and tells you most of their clients decline and have you sign a disclosure. In Brevard County, FL, it was required by my title company for a cash sale. In Monroe County, FL, it was not requiredfor a cash sale or bank mortgage; In Tompkins County, NY, it was not required for either a cash sale or a bank mortgage. In Fairfield County, CT. It was required by the bank for my mortgage. Unless it was required for my home purchase I would always decline.
    Dave, why do you recommend always buying Title Insurance? You didn't say. The protections it offers are extremely narrow.

      Some people really don't understand what to look for in an investment. I could tell it's common based on "dated" things the realtor walking me around would point out. Like, I don't care about dated, I care about solid bones and overall good shape.
