house prices are cheap. which is always good for people looking to buy, but best time to buy is when you personally can afford itComment -
People: I have never seen so many houses for sale at one time in my life. It's truly amazing.Comment -
A house is only a good investment if you plan to live in it long term and you can buy it cash when the price is down. Why buy a house for 300k at a good deal if you dont plan to live there long term. if your lucky in a good market the house will appreciate 10-20% over 5 years. If you have a clue or even follow a decent mutual fund you can make way more money investing that. I plan to buy a house in 5 years cash that i will live in long term. But to say its a good time to buy is foolish. Your gonna be paying that mortgage for 30 years anyways so whats a extra 50 bucks a month.
only thing worth investing in is commercial property or apartments when it comes to property.Comment -
I think it depends what price range and where you live. In some places you pay as much for your mtg as you do in taxes and insurance and you can find a rental of a comparable house in town. Those costs are going to be built in the rental or the buy. I agree with UTNDT... Why pay for home upkeep and taxes when you don't have to. Live in a rental until the job market rebounds. IMO that's when houses can be perceived to be in demand even though the people that own the country tell us to buy in to them now. Nothing says housing can't fall another 10%.Comment -
warren buffet always said ONLY buy the home your going to live inComment -
I feel the same way. Owning your own home outright at a very young age is the first step to financial independence. You can use that extra 30-40% of your income your not spending on a mortgage to make more money. id rather not tie it up in multiple homes that you have to pay taxes on and upkeep as dozer said.Comment -
there's still plenty of room to go down. at the very least, see what happens with the debt ceiling drama in august.Comment -
still a little earlylocal forum trollComment -
Thats worrying me a bit but theres lots of money to be made shorting major company's if the debt ceiling isnt lifted. It would be a major risk but purchasing a 20,000 Option shorting the stock with a stop loss at your total investment amount can yield you 200k easy if BkofAma fell down to say 4-5 dollars again like it did in 08. Then after you call your option you use your profit to buy back your shares at $4 and when it rebounds youll be a millionaire. Wish i would of done this the last time around but i only had 1k to invest in b of a and made 5 x on my money though.Comment -
