brb bought my house at $500k in 2019
brb Zillow says my house is estimated at $850k in 2023
brb it actually sells at $800k
brb capital gains tax on $300k is another $55k
brb agent commissions I owe are another $50k
brb home improvements to make it appealing were another $5k
brb repairs following the inspection added another $5k


brb my $850k Zillow estimated home where I "made" $350k since the initial purchase actually only brought in $690k, minus the initial purchase of $500k for $190k return on investment.


I always LMAO when homeownercels try to include full home estimates into their net worth. The amount you actually cash out with is so much lower.

And a $500k home estimated at $850k 4 years later is seriously like a historic upswing over the last few years too. It will literally never be more profitable than it's seen now with the craziness.... and it's still weak as f*ck.

Op murdered with words, must be late on rent and pissd off. Loooooooll rentcels

Entered the thread to post this.

Give all your crude valuables away to charity, & roam this earth barefoot & naked before The Lord. Maybe you can still enter the kingdom of heaven.

Ftw bought house for 75k. Now worth 138k. Looooool. Free money.

Imagine the banks home being worth as much as the “homeowner” thinks it is….

funny when they brag ohhh i bought for bout 350k now its worth 500k 1 year later! yeah ok but you think youre making 150k profit? YEAH RIGHT!


after penalties, fee's, taxes and commission's your making 10-20k max. and than they just waste it buying into a higher market so they arent any better off LMAO!

A little early, rents not due for a couple more weeks OP

Hey, my house is worth 500k instead of 350! Better take out a HELOC and renovate it to make sure my debt interest keeps piling up.

The only people winning in real estate are banks. When you finally pay off that 350k house you paid 700k for it.

Didn’t pay down any principal on the loan in that time?

People are definitely way too caught up in inflating home values. I built my first house in 2015 and the market at the home base has been flat since then, but my equity has increased substantially. I don’t really want prices to go crazy, I want reasonable prices and stability.

Are homeowners still an actual thing in 2023? Brutal if true srs

I bought a place for $305K in 2018. It went up to only $335K almost 4.5 years later.

Feels bad man

Imagine being a rentcel paying someone else's home equity. Sad!

How much did you put down on your purchase?

Likely your ROI is through the roof

Even if you bought it cash you’re looking at 12-13% annualized for something that solves a necessity. Not too shabby

lol @ being such a loser you need to obsess over the numbers and the pro's/con's to owning vs renting.


Brb trying to justify renting to cope with the fact that you're a loser.

Rentcels never get any money back. Always lose.

Homeownercels can almost always recoup or profit.

Rarely see it mentioned here.

not for me. if i were to sell i might pay $12k in commissions (2.5%ish to buyers agent)

there is power in having a real estate license even if just for buying/selling for yourself.

brb getting $13k back at closing on your 0 down VA loan
brb getting $13k back at closing on your 0 down USDA loan
brb only putting down .5% instead of 3.5% on your FHA loan
brb save a fuk ton when you go to sell your home.

and how much are dues a year, $2,426. if you buy/sell once every 3yrs youre still money ahead.

Curious, how much did the apartment you rent increase in value.
