Mortgage payments= renting but with extra steps

This is because one missed payment and the bank can basically kick you out at will and sell the place

There are some differences, sure:
-your rent payment is tied to the purchase price of the house and the prevailing market interest rate, as opposed to whatever number the landlord dreams up
-there is an end point if an when you ever pay it off
-if the price of the property happens to go up, you get the benefit of it rather than your landlord
-if you’re renting the property to someone else the interest might be a tax deduction

But apart from those, you’re basically a rent cuck, just to a bank instead of a landlord

Lmao

Yeah so apart from
-the security
-the capital gain
-the tax advantages

It’s exactly the same

Lmao

BTW it’s not the prevailing market interest rate, that only happens if you have an ARM

Most would have locked in at 2.5 per cent or whatever for the life of their loan, after COVID

The biggest pro is the equity you build - but a lot of people forget that you pay a ton of interest in order to earn that equity, and often it comes out a wash at the end of owning. Except for the property appreciation, which is often decent over time.

People who do well in real estate have multiple properties and leverage equity in one to buy another, then rent them out to mitigate their costs. Most families today are using their properties as a retirement plan, so they have an asset to sell when it comes time to retire/downsize and they can add to their funds or hand it to their kids.

But young people today basically are pooched when it comes to real estate without parental help. It's not the mortgage cost, it's the down payment and nobody has savings.

What exactly is this "mortgage" you speak of? My multiple rental properties, recreational property, and primary home doesn't have one of these things. Do you have to request to have one??? Srs, vry srs.

Yes but what i mean is you can choose bi-weekly or monthly.

Also rent is use of a space, a mortgage is paying a loan.

Unless you got an ARM, insurance/taxes will likely not increase enough to match rent increases.

I bought my house about 10 years ago, and the payment was $1100/month.

Fast forward to today, where it's about $1300/month.

Renting this house 10 years ago would have been $1600/month. Today it would go for around $2500/month.

Mortgage > rent in the long term as long as you buy a house that's in decent enough shape.

It's not even close.

Mortgages suck if you do 30 years.

15 year minimum. I plan to pay our house off in 10 years lord willing. Then No mortgage payment = early retirement.

Now isn't a good time to get into real estate

This guy got unti the game almost 2 years ago in Pittsburgh, an affordable city for real estate. And looked at all his numbers and realized he was in the hole by six figures

Not disagreeing with what your saying at all. want to point out that your mortgage was 1100 and renting the house would have been 1600. Nowadays it's flipped. Renting the house today might be 2500 but if you bought it today the mortgage would be like 4000 or something

FTHB aren't getting the same deal we got

You need to put a lot down (in a high-interest environment) and shorten your note's term as much as possible in order for a mortgage to work out well.

I've seen people my age put like 3% down and pay PMI on a 30 year note, and that chitisjust rentcelling with extra steps. After P&I (with much less P than I for the first 10 years), mortgage insurance, home insurance, and property taxes, maybe 10% of your note goes against the principle and 90% goes into someone else's pocket. You're just phuckin renting that place from your financiers.

The only play with the minimum-down strat is if you're just banking on continuing runaway price appreciation / rent inflation covering your butt, which after the last 4 years feels very much like buying the top. It's basically a leverage play.

If you put a lot down and shorten your note to 20 or 15 years, your payments can go from like 3/4s interest in the first 5 years to 1/2 or less. If you get in that situation, you start paying yourself every month just as much as you pay the bank. It is more capital intensive and less leveraged, but I don't want to be leveraged in a 6% rate environment.

Not even just cope, ill informed ignorance.


You can miss a lot more than a single payment. A home with a 2k mortgage is 3k to rent. Equity, customization, and stability being the other benefits to ownership.

Renting has its benefits as well

It's azz backwards right now... mortgage payments are about 20% higher than rent payments on the same property. The RE market's a mess.

Yeah this is what I was trying to say in my previous post. The math is completely inverted today vs 5 years ago

Seems investors that buy a property off of the MLS are renting it out at about half a percent of the price per month. Add in the property taxes, high interest rate, vacancy cost, property manager fees, repair costs, and I don't see how they're making money. That post I linked to above shows someone about over 100k in the hole just from 1 rental property bought in 2022. He's basically subsidizing renters lol

In my area a 600k house rents for 3000

They're not. There's hundreds of owners in Toronto/Vancouver who bought investment properties and are taking massive losses every month because rent and mortgage costs are inverted up here. The place I used to live in cost $2500 a month and would have been well over 6k a month to own, even with a 10% down payment. Current place is less than half to rent as well.

People forget you can only charge for rent what the market will bear. You can't increase it by 40% over other comparable properties in an area and not expect it to sit empty.

Canada wide average cost to buy a home is 700k, so even factoring in 10% down the carrying costs are about $4500 a month and average rent is $2200. It makes ZERO financial sense to buy anything in most places in Canada currently.

It could make sense if the property appreciates enough to cover your losses and then some, giving you profit

But then that means that real estate investing has completely become un-attached from the "fundamentals" as they call it. And it's just a speculation game, not much different than Bitcoin or beanie babies
