Not an american tard here. Why you people always talk about "mortgages" every time you talk about buying a house? Suppose we speak about a 1M house; can't you just simply say "here's 1M I'll take it" and simply buy it (no further payments involved)?

>> No.57291062

I'm so tired of reiterating this. Buying a home with a mortgage is a leveraged position in the housing market. That's it.

You can spend X dollars a month to rent, or you can lock in a down payment and then spend Y dollars a month to have 5x that down payment as a long on the housing market. When you believe housing always grows, taking a 5x leveraged position is smart. If you can get better returns elsewhere with your down payment, then just rent.

>> No.57291072

>>57291025
It's just about always financially advantageous to have a leveraged position in the housing market. All of these priced out "it's cheaper to rent" faggots are just coping. Show me someone that bought a house 20 years ago and kept it that regrets buying it. These same faggots hate boomers for the gains they made on their houses while at the same time saying home ownership is a scam and wishing the market will crash so they can buy in.

There's no reason to spend 1m on a house today when you can spend a fraction of it and get a low interest rate loan to cover the difference. The value of the house will go up at a faster rate than the interest rate.

I get it, but you could die at anytime leaving a lot of debt to your wife/kids (if any) and ultimately failing to make further payments. Wouldn't (((they))) take the house back in retaliation? Maybe that's what they want, people engaging in debt; you fail to pay, they take the house back. You think you're outsmarting them but they are outsmarting you. In the end they take 15 years worth of payments and the house back, and mortgage it to some other cuck. A lot of things can happen in let's say 20 or 30 years. Or am I just retarded? I get the point, though. I just want a house to live in, I would pay in cash and be done with it.

You kept your house for 20 years, paid whatever maintenance costs, property taxes, insurance etc. Its appreciated in line with the overall market, congrats you are richer than you were before. But what does that do for you? You depend on the thing for shelter, you cant simply liquidate the value and if you sell for another home you arent improving your situation without taking out another mortgage- which now youre 60 at the end of your career.. likely you would have more efficiently built wealth by renting and putting that money toward investments with higher expected rate of return than the housing market - housing expenses ie.

that's not how it works at all. if there's still money owed on the house when you die, and you pass the property to a beneficiary of the house or put it in a trust, the inheritor (your wife, kids, etc.) can either: 1. take over the mortgage payments and move in 2. rent it out to pay the mortgage 3. sell the property and keep the equity MINUS whatever is left owed on the mortgage.

you are right that it is almost always a smart bet to buy a house. But there are lots of examples of people who bought homes in the late 90s and 2006-2008 that barely kept up with inflation over the last 20 years. I've seen lots of places listed on zillow for around the same price that they sold for in 2006. If you paid a mortgage during that time, you lost quite a bit of money.
The key is that you absolutely cannot buy the top of a bubble otherwise you are screwed. If you buy the top of a bubble and have to sell a few years later you are doubly screwed.

If you have children, you want to buy for stability. A mortgage payment won't increase for 30 years.

The landlord can't decide not to renew your lease or raise your rent.

You also get to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from your taxes, so the rates are always ~25% better than what they appear on paper.

in regards to renting a million dollar home. Graham Stephan is actually right in this scenario.
I have a relative who lives in an area where homes are well over a million dollars. I couldn't believe that rent does not go much over about $4000. It made no sense to me, but I think it's because if you had that kind of money $6k+ to blow on rent, you would just save up a down payment and buy a home.

That's the entire point of a mortgage, jackass. You pay the bank money to obtain more equity in your house as time goes on. It beats paying it all in cash up front because you can sell at any time if it suits you and get your equity back. Meanwhile, you can use the freed up cash to maintain and grow your investments.

The house would get sold off, the bank would have the remaining amount of the mortgage paid off, and you keep whatever is left. For example, lets say you buy a $500k house with $50k down, $450k 30 yr mortgage, at 6%. At ten years the amount left to pay off on the mortgage would be $376k. You can no longer pay, but are able to sell house for $550k; bank gets $376k of that, you get $174k.

Now the dangerous thing is if you buy near the top of a bubble, and house prices go down, say that house above could only be sold for $350k, then you would be "underwater" on the mortgage, and still owe the bank $26k after selling the house.

Real estate is never going down.

Renting is just pissing your money away. You're on the opposite side of the relationship that you want, i.e. receiving money not giving it.

You're not actually going to invest the difference between mortgage payments and rent. The returns will not be as high as what 95% (lof renters assume in their Rent VS Buy spreadsheet.

Rates cannot increase much higher otherwise the entire world economy will explode.

Inflation is under control and rates will decrease by 2025. It is 100% a good time to open a 5x, insured and time-tested position to hedge against future inflation.

Conclusion : never bet against the house.

That about covers it.

I'm from Croatia and I've started withdrawing my crypto profit.
I don't want to sell everything at once in case prices will go up but the plan is to sell slowly and in about 4 months I'll have 120 000 euros (that's a lot for Croatia).
My plan is to buy an apartment for that money so I can finally say I fucking bought something with the profits I've earned from crypto and live there without worrying if my landlord will raise the rent.

Worst case scenario if I'll decide to move somewhere else I can always sell the apartment or rent it, but I doubt I ever will.

I could buy an apartment right now but I don't want to take any loans so I'll just rather be safe and buy that place in a few months.

Is that a good decision and should I go for it?

1. own. get a fixed rate mortgage and lock in "rent" price for 30 years. After 30 years you own it and only pay taxes. you pay interest and all maintenance costs.
2. rent. your rent will rise 3-20% each and ever year. after 30 years you're still a loser and own nothing. you pay taxes, interest and all maintenance costs, plus someone's profit

biz likes to pretend like there's an option 3 of NEET or be homeless, it's not a legitimate option for most people.

it's not a great time to buy right now. sorry, but you're an idiot if your long term plan doesn't involve owning a place to live and you want to trade 30 years of interest for paying ever increasing rent for 65.

Yeah, you can also rent one for less money genius. That's the whole argument.
Buyers are basically making a bet that the house appreciation is going to outpace the interest on the loan and when it's all said in done after appreciation - (repairs + tax + interest + opportunity cost) you are coming out ahead than you would have if you had just rented a comparable dwelling.

because there's a bunch of people in this world that cannot do basic math and think that paying for a mortgage is somehow better than paying rent despite not realizing you're paying way more in interest than principle for over half of the life of a typical loan. when renting is 50% cheaper on average, nationally, you actually come out ahead by renting and investing the rest of what you would have been putting into a mortgage payment, maintenance, insurance, etc. And this completely ignores the flexibility of renting, keeping your savings (down payment) in case the job market tanks, etc.

Spoken like a boomer who thinks it's 1985.
When you rent you pay for the use of the dwelling, that's it. You don't repair anything you don't pay taxes, you don't pay interest on the debt.
>You're on the opposite side of the relationship that you want, i.e. receiving money not giving it.
Retard, interest rates and prices don't exist in a vacuum. My boomer landlord paid half of what it's worth today. He made a good trade. Buying this exact same house at 2x what it was worth 10 years ago is not a good trade for me because it costs hardly anything to rent it.
Why would I put $100k down out of pocket just to pay 100% of the sale price in interest over 30 years?
>inflation is under control

It's true, with the interest rates, cost of housing, property taxes, insurance, and the ROI I make on my savings is a better deal currently. At some point, owning will be cheaper (from a sunk cost perspective) than renting and I'll redo the math and buy a house if it has lower associated expenses.
