    As much as I like his videos; this only holds true in today's hot market. Real estate does not always move up by 20% per year. We can just as safely assume that next year it'll dive 20% (or more) and then everyone who took this advice is belly up on their mortgage. I also find it interesting that there was no mention of PMI, but that's just me.

  • @SupercarRanch
    @SupercarRanch 3 роки тому +9

    I would recommend only paying PMI on income-producing properties...which is not always easy to do. My personal advice is to treat your personal home differently than investment properties. Be safe with it, pay it down. Thats your true nest egg. Another tip: if you do get into a loan with PMI, and values go up, have the bank reappraise your LTV as soon as you think its below 80% and get that PMI taken off. Don't just pay it forever.

  • @JoshAQ
    @JoshAQ 3 роки тому +17

    Sorry, have to put the breaks on the whole premise of someone making 55k and affording this 400k property to begin with. 1,700 dollar payment? It actually more like 2,000 with pmi, house insurance and taxes. That is 43% of your gross pay!? After saving for retirement, health insurance, food, car, etc you are going to have nothing left and will be house rich and cash poor. Remember you can't eat a house, or afford this payment if your spouse stays home with your kid or pay for day care. This is a recipe for disaster and loosing your house and your sanity. As to the 5 vs 20 percent down and 30 years there is only a 30k dollar difference in the interest paid between the two down payments and that isn't a lot. Comparing a 30 to a 15 year, it only makes sense to go with the 30 year if you have enough left over to invest the difference. You will not have anything left over, or the ability to save anything after buying this house because you will not be able to cash flow well with this property and income level. This last year's 20% appreciation is not going to be sustainable and will likely go back down in the next year or so. Save and invest, buy a house when you can afford and live cheaply and within your means. That is the only way I have seen it done well on 55k a year.

    • @artemrevelsky
      @artemrevelsky 3 роки тому +3

      FHA loan let's you put 3.5% down and comes with PMI that lasts through the life of a loan, where as a conventional loan at 5% to 20% will have a PMI which drops once your mortgage balance is equal to 80% of your home's value at the time of purchase.

    Makes no sense for me at 5 percent rather then 20 im paying an extra 528 a month in pmi and interest over the lifetime of a 30 year loan thats an extra 190k thats wasted on interest and pmi. When its your personal residence its smarter to put 20 percent if you can afford it and an investments as little as possible.

    30 year mortgage, if you are not paying extra principal you are basically renting the home. We are living in a crazy time with crazy inflation. It may eventually slow, and home prices may be stagnant.I would consider getting a 30 year, and paying it like a 15 year. That gives you a little flexibility for things like job loss. Slightly higher interest rate though.

    This makes no sense at all. The quicker you pay off your house the quicker you can invest that house payment. Don’t buy a home that you can’t put 20% down on. Most people shouldn’t be buying a 400K home so this example is trash. That extra $1,700 monthly payment invested in mutual funds over 15 years would bring you $781K. So throw your 80K equity example out the window. No home will go up in equity as much as you would gain investing. You also failed to mention that the lower the down payment will result in a higher interest rate. This advice is so terrible it’s disgusting. People please don’t listen to guys like this and listen to the experts like Dave Ramsey who have a track record of making people millionaires. This guy is all about more spews for more views. Telling people what they want to hear not what they need to hear.

    Great advice thanks Chandler, however, I must point out the DR's advice is not inherently bad, it is simply for another market and/or circumstance. Consider how bad of an investment this house would be if the market corrects like it did in 2008. Your 400k---i mean now 480k (lmao) valuation would become 200k or less. I suppose the argument is still there for the lower down payment and longer term but in a correction like that your under water any way.

    Thank you it was amazing video, I have few questions:
    1. 5% down to buy under personal name or LLC?
    2. How soon after registering LLC we can buy home under LLC?
    3. If we put 5% down mortgage will be higher than rent what about that?
    4. Any video rental under personal name vs LLC?

    So we did 20% instead of 5%. How much is the PMI going to be on that 5% down?

      Yeah funny how he didn’t mention that. It will be at a minimum $150 per month and can be as high as $300 per month in this example. The lower the down payment likely will result in a higher interest rate. If your credit score is not good the interest rate will be even higher. Do an amortization schedule on a $400K loan online and you will see the thousands you are wasting by taking this dudes advise. He doesn’t believe this stuff it’s all click bate. If he does he’s a moron.

      I’ll be paying 105 for pmi on 425k home and 5 % down. I do have 800 plus credit. I also thought what you guys thought would be way more

    I like Ramsey. He is smart and practical. You should never diss people. I’m guessing you probably cut your viewership in half.

    Thank you! Simply wanting to purchase my first home. So much appreciation for your knowledge on this. It is a bit intimidating. Again, thank you!

    Dave Ramsey doesn’t teach to buy a $400k house with a $55k income, he’d say to stay in the $150k-$200k range.
    Also a $1700 payment on a $55k gross pay would not be the wisest choice..
