Foreclosures/evictions are still postponed indefinitely, but you should still look up your county's "Treasurer tax sale". it's the sale they announce when they auction off delinquent properties. the neat thing nowadays is all auctions are online, whereas previously you had to show up in person to the auction site and bring a briefcase of money orders to pay since payment was due immediately after auction. you can just wire the money within a few days now.

i bought one parcel last year for ~20% of its former sales price, and i think something like 30-40% of the sale price prior to that one. i felt like a god once the online auction timer hit zero.

Smallish RE investor here, started with 110k and turned it into about 1M over 10 years flipping foreclosures. Not an expert, but been around the block.

Great time to get a loan to buy a first home. Terrible time to find a house you want to buy anywhere that's not in a shithole ghetto where you'll get your steelies stolen overnight, and that extends to most urban markets in the US right now.

Things I typically look for in a home:
1) How are the schools? If it's not in a college town and a 1 or 2 bedroom house/apartment, people always look for good schools to send their kids to. Shitty school grades typically reflect shitty areas, so you need to find a balance.

2) Fuck HOAs.

3) Is it undervalued or overvalued in its neighborhood? Compare it to all other homes that have sold recently. This gets iffy when shopping for foreclosures because they're not really the norm.

Personally I would save every penny right now and wait until the bubble pops, because it has to pop at some point. The moratorium on evictions means people who took out mortgages to have rental incomes can't pay their mortgages and the dominoes will start falling soon. One of my tenants hasn't paid me a dime since July.
Foreclosures are a fantastic way to get a place on the cheap and if you're handy and don't mind making some repairs you can scoop up a bargain.

The interest rates have to stay low no matter what, even if the bubble pops. So the best time to buy is shortly after.

Looking at RE just makes me depressed. It is absolutely mind-boggling how many shitty homes there are, and not just in my city. I've looked at homes in just about every major city in the US through Zillow and not even 10% are even attractive. That's not even looking at the price, but just whether or not the house is presentable. And people willingly buy these homes because they've been resigned to a life of mediocre middle class existence and will never have a lot of money for a decent house.

Hey, funny story about this.

First property I bought was a piece of shit 1920s wood frame mobile home sitting on cinderblocks. Took a bit to refurbish the place but it turned out nice for what it was. My uncle fell on hard times so we let him live there for free for a couple years. After he left, one of the neighbors came by asking if he could rent the place. Black haitian guy, passed all the background & renter's checks no problem, clean references etc. Still green to renting out so I was like, why not give the guy a chance.

Big fucking mistake.

Within 18 months he had:

>Covered the entire yard in carpet. Yes, all 10000sq feet of if was all carpet.
>Built a chicken coop, also on top of said carpet
>Put up multiple illegal awnings, which the city cried to us about
>Rented part of said carpeted lot to various manners of car thieves and dealers for $300/mo (his rent was $1200 mo) so they could break down stolen cars in my fucking property
>Turned the place into an underground casino. I found about 3 bullet holes in various walls/ceiling panels
>Subleased the place to some other bloke without our consent
>Pic related. Yes, that's a fucking incubator. I don't know where they stole it from, and the cops didn't care.

All in all it cost more to evict and refurbish the property from all the damage he did than what he paid in rent over 2 years. So yes, heed this warning: never rent to a nigger.

honestly, if i was just starting out in the market, i dont know what the FUCK i would do.
If you can live with your parents while you fix up a place, thats a big bonus. If you're a min wagie and you don't care where you work, you can take your business anywhere. i would buy WAY away from the city, some good deals under 350k where you can get em with a 25-50k down payment. Your best bet is anywhere you see a house labelled a "contractors dream" or shit where they wont even show you inside.
Buy a steaming shit shack with mold and mildew and dilapidation and rip that shit down while you live with your parents, and put up new drywall and some hardwood floors and clean the ventilation and try and flip it within a couple years.
If you can get a great price on the sell because the house is just fuckin' raped, you can resell for enough money to leverage another purchase with a much less painful mortgage. Thats the key - you may have shitty mortgage payments the first couple years, but if you play the game, you can leverage one purchase into another and cut your costs WAY down. Repeat that a couple times and in 10 years you may consider holding onto a shit property and renting it out.
But fuck, don't look for the next 3 months until real estate supply starts outweighing demand in the area, because right now a 400k shitshack in cobourg is selling for 750 in bids. Its a nightmare out there until the lockdowns disappear.

I second this but also add some caution to this statement because unless you have some heavy DYI experience, this will cost you way more than you'd like to pay for a professional to do. It's not necessarily hard, but it takes some practice.

On the opposite end of the coin sometimes it's BETTER to demo everything and just install all new drywall than try to save a shitheap that's been neglected for 40 years - I learned this the hard way in my current flip, where the more holes in the drywall I patched the more holes I found to patch.

Also remember that a roof is expensive as fuck to replace. Try to find a place that's undervalued but with a roof that's still within its life expectancy. The permits will tell you when it was last replaced, so even if it has leaks, fix those and the inspector can't bitch at you and lowball you on the price.

Thanks for the tips guys. I actually have a bit of DIY experience. I can do anything, basically.. A house sounds like a behemoth of a task though. I guess you guys think the best place to start would be around 35-40K saved? It'll take awhile any way and maybe this market will fuck off by then. Otherwise, I'm not sure how far outside Toronto I'm willing to go. I like the general GTA area and even Brampton, Vaughn etc.

So basically the plan is, find a bad house somewhere far and fix it up and rent it out? Then sell it and buy a bigger/close house and rinse and repeat?

That depends on your endgoal - do you want to find a comfy place to live or flip a few houses to build some cash and eventually build wealth? If it's the latter, then finding a place in a modest income area (not a shithole), fixing it up and rotating the profits into another project until you build more equity is what I'd recommend. Honestly in a lot of cases you can flip houses for 15-20% what you paid for them just by using some elbow grease, some paint and a decent sense of what's trendy in house decor.

Thing is, this only works if the market is stable, which it is not right now. You could buy a property today that could be worth 50% before the project is done, with all that's happening in the world. Right now I'm sitting on cash and precious metals, while waiting to sell my latest flip. Once prices come down, I'll find more projects.

I haven't bought a home at online auction sight-unseen before, but tried to one time. I would have had to put down a retainer payment, and had 10 days or so to send an inspector to give me a report.

Repair costs vary wildly based on how bad the place is. I've bought foreclosures that were in move-in condition, and bought foreclosures where the previous occupants routed the bathtub out into the backyard because they were too lazy to fix the plumbing, so it's a heavily YMMV business.

They probably do. But if you just build it out in the middle of nowhere, utilities will be a problem for you. Your options are:

1) Go full solar. Expensive.
2) Septic tank. Actually quite common, expensive and need to be drained once a year or so.
3) Well water. Hopefully sourced far away from your septic tank. Requires electricity.

Other options are obviously to pay to have utilities brought to you, and that's exponentially more expensive. So you have to factor in other costs other than just the land + prefab + labor.

Not sure if it'd be different in other places, but here the coffin business is under lock and key by the funeral homes. They're masters of fearmongering and jewish tricks. You'll need to buy a per-approved coffin from them if you want them to bury you, and if the people want to do a home burial by themselves they'll try scaring them into buying their "safe, certified coffins" by telling them about shoddy coffins collapsing during funeral service or being crushed under the weight of all that dirt. Which is a problem if you're paying a box out of plywood and glue and not high quality wood, but whatever. Long story short, don't count on being able to slide into one of the most predatory and mandatory services that have been around since the dawn of time without getting the rug pulled out from underneath you.

I think your arguments are valid, but I have a problem about "waiting for the bubble pops". There is a supply shortage; we are not building homes. There are VERY HEAVY CASH buyers salivating to get in on these foreclosures. The bubble will NEVER pop.

For the past 20 years there has been an insane transfer of wealth-- people do not have money anymore, so the only thing left to do is take away the last piece of wealth the middle class can actually acquire...housing.

To everyone: In my opinion, this bubble will not pop. If you need a house for yourself or upcoming family get one now or have it built.

Prices can rise and fall without any sort of bubble existing at all, and that's likely what will happen. Consumer inflation picks up a bit, the fed raises rates, mortgages become more expensive, and so less people look to buy houses; Boomers start dying and so demand goes down while their houses go onto the market, etc. market fundamentals can just change, and they're likely to do so.

Many flawed assumptions. The Fed is unlikely to raise rates with the US's debt to GDP ratio being where it is. They have said they will not.

I can understand going for a "cheap" 30 year mortgage if you were a /biz/ goblin. The spare money you'd have from the smaller payments could go into crypto or stocks and end up making far more than you'd save if you just went for the quick 15 year one. Of course most people aren't intelligent and don't invest whatsoever so that doesn't apply to them.

Long term predictions about the economy are a fool's game since inevitably the longer timeframe you try to predict the harder it is to make your prediction based on real facts.

I agree with you on the racial element of home ownership. We are going to have a class of rich homeowners and a class of rentoid drones who will, and are, getting priced out permanently.

Finally, the bay area comparison with the broader US is dumb. Cali has a unique combination of higher taxes, declining public benefits, high paying companies fleeing, and historically already elevated real estate. You could realistically make this comparison with a few cities like NYC and Chicago.

i understand what you’re saying about people’s consooming habits but imo 30-year mortgage isn’t always the way to go. you can still pay it off in 15 years if you want but if you fall on hard times your monthly note is much less so more likely to survive it. gives you more breathing room

In these market conditions? Oh for sure, return on stonks is high, interest is low, the thirty-fifteen year spread isn't particularly high, and inflation is just high enough that what most of what interest you do pay will mostly be eaten by it.

It's not politically unpopular to raise rates. It's politically impossible. The last time the US's debt to GDP ratio was this high was after massive military spending during WW2. Go and see how they paid it off. They let inflation run hot and devalued the real value of the debt.

There are two options: massive austerity and spending cuts combined with massive tax increases, or low rates with inflation and money printing. The latter is the obvious path and the path of least resistance.

Sorry dude, but our current generation has been raised on a "live in the moment" doctrine and they are all wrapped up in 5 layers of debt. Every single elderly person could die over the next month and everyone would be so busy paying off their dogshit college loans, credit card debts, or brand new car payments that nobody would actually get a house before foreign companies swoop in on the cheap real estate and buy it up to turn into apartments. Hell, most people unironically prefer apartments for some ungodly reason. I'm glad they prefer apartments since it means less competition for decent places.

The US has a lot of flexibility to print money without hyperinflation. USD is the global reserve currency and the lion's share of global debt is denominated in USD (including debt held by the US gov!!!), so there is heavy demand for dollars. And like anything, the relative price of the USD is based on supply and demand. If we print too much the USD will lose that global reserve currency status eventually.

I'd tend to agree with this, but I'm just not sure where you think things will go. Interest rates are literally zero percent. Contrary to what the internet seems ot think, that's a good thing for middle class buyers (see chart posted earlier). It's firms that buy in cash, and so when prices go up because of cheap mortgages that's unequivocally bad for them.

A lot of that isn't real debt. Maybe in the financial/accounting sense it is, but not in the economic sense. What I mean is, a third of the debt owed by the Federal government is to itself.
But I don't see why that matters. Even if the yield on the 10 year was 2%, the federal government wouldn't be paying THAT much in interest.

Was renting in Minnesota. Landlords have fewer legal responsibilities than in most states. They don't need to provide a lease buyout (exit) option and they can charge for an empty unit without looking for a new tenant. Most states require landlords to be able to prove in court that they are trying to find a new tenant (by adequately advertising) when collecting rent from a tenant who left.
There's other shit too, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Sucks to rent there, but you should consider having some properties there if you are a cheapskate property owner.

My prediction is we will see sustained low rates and increasing inflation. I don't think it's necessarily good for middle class buyers. Prices will continue to rise.

Your chart shows an accelerated median sale price increase in the last year, which I think will continue.

It's true that a chunk of gov debt is owed "to itself". A lot of this is social security. Politically impossible to make significant cuts to this. And finally, a 1% rise in rates would increase the interest expense of the debt by 270 billion. That's about 8% of US tax revenue. 1% rise=8% less revenue for the gov.

In the next 3 years? Yeah, but the next 10, 15? You can't say that any more than I can say the opposite. My prediction is at least asserting a return to a historical norm, yours is like saying that the sun will set tomorrow and never come back up.
>increasing inflation
agreed. But if inflation goes up, then non-federal interest rates almost definitely will also go up. Yeah negative real interest rates MIGHT occur, but at the end of the day if you're losing money in saving, you might as well just spend it.
>I don't think it's necessarily good for middle class buyers
>Your chart shows an accelerated median sale price

The formula on the top is a bit of a mess but it basically is saying that the real (i.e. inflation adjusted) cost of buying a house for mortgage seekers is actually cheaper than say, 20 years ago.
>Politically impossible to make significant cuts to this.

Yeah, taxes are going to have to go up, but that's life. Taxes 25 years ago were higher than they are now, and get this, people survived.

I think you have misread your graph. I don't know what you information you are trying to convey with that graph, but inflation adjusted prices of houses have not gotten cheaper over 20 years. Maybe if you use a watered down or cherry picked metrics for inflation.

We will see about the taxes and the rates. My argument is it's much easier, politically, to print money and inflate the currency (with low rates) than raise taxes and cut spending. Since the Fed controls the money supply, it can set the interest rate to be whatever it wants.

>> No.29112790

>I think you have misread your graph
No, you misunderstood what I said. It's not an a graph of real house prices, it's a graph of the real COST of buying a house, i.e., the upfront price plus the sum of interest. In other words, it's the actual affordability of home-buying for the vast majority of people who only do so with a mortgage.

>watered down or cherry picked metrics for inflation.
Just so you know, it literally says the formula and what time series I used right up at the top. That aside, no, I used the PCEPI which is significantly slower than CPI. For anyone bad at arithmatic, that means that it adjusts past prices upward less, which means it works against my point if anything.

>> No.29113041

Oh I see what you are trying to say now. Yes, for a brief window during the start of the COVID pandemic prices were low and mortgage rates were also low. But the prices have now adjusted upwards, and will continue to rise since people have access to cheap money via low rate mortgages. It's a misleading graph since it only captures a small part of real estate price movements during 2020.

It's current up through Q4 of 2020. The red line, where we were at at Q4 2020, is pretty low historically, only about 10 years of the past 50 have been cheaper. If this year, the cost (or price, since there's currently little difference between the two) of homes goes up ~100k (which imo is unlikely but not impossible), then we'll be at the green line. Well, how horribly expensive is the green line? About average, given the past 50 years as a frame of reference.

I am having a hard time drawing the same conclusions you have made from the data. I will take you at your word that the data is good, covers Q4 2020, PCEPI a good metric for inflation, etc. All the information I have seen screams that average people are having difficulty affording home purchases. Perhaps the adjusted cost of ownership is low historically, as your data would indicate, but most buyers cannot qualify for the 30 year fixed rate used. Could be due to credit score, lack of employment, or existing debt (student debt comes to mind). So adjusted home costs may actually BE low historically, but a confluence of real economic factors may be making this theoretical adjusted home cost not representative of the reality of real estate dynamics.
