650/m for a large bedroom in my best friend's house.

Temporary until gf and I buy a home, just searching for now. She's back at her dad's until then to save some money.

Lmao at ppl ITT who think buying is unequivocally better than renting - usually only true if you plan on living there very long term

Especially with the stock market skyrocketing over the last 10 years

Have a 30yr mortgage at $607.00 a month for a 1899 sqft 3br 2bth house - (renting it out at $1200 a month w/ 7% of the rent going to the property management company) W/ property taxes, management fees and maintenance -- it adds up.

Also paying $1,400 a month for an apt right now. It's nice not having maintenance and property taxes.. but miss having privacy.


Love and hate being a home owner.

My coworkers always buy new trucks and bmws/ Audi’s and wonder why they’re broke and renting a room out of someone’s house.

I always lol at the people my age trying to flex. It’s SoCal , unless you’re a 50 yr old white dude in that 2019 bmw there’s a 99% chance you’re just as broke as everyone else. You’re not fooling anyone.

Not saying I’m any better off or make more than them but I’m not stupid with my money.

You're still paying property tax which is still a reoccurring expense related to your home. Plenty of people in high tax states have fully paid off their homes but still pay big $ in property taxes.

So? Might as well say you have to pay to heat and cool and maintain it too.

The cheapest way to live in your own home is to own it outright. Everything else involves adding on someone else's profit margin.

Give me a house in sunset cliffs in SD I will gladly fork over the insane property tax every month. Renting is suicide enducing because there’s no return on the money invested. Average rent here is 1900$ for a one bdrm I think.

Unfortunately some people have no choice but to rent.

some say the richest men have a roof over their head, a warm bed and food... renting vs owning is all about perspective.

Also, you'll find that more home owners are UPSIDE down rather than RIGHT-SIDE up when it comes to home ownership.

Not arguing with that point.

If you look at the replies ITT most people posted their rent (not including utilities) OR their mortgage + taxes (not including utilities). Just pointing out the discrepancy when you replied $0.

Im not saying buying/ getting a mortgage is a dumb thing to do, but you are dumb if you think the house/car whatever is actually yours until its paid off.

Hell even when you do OWN it you have taxes to pay, and if you dont pay them the Government comes and takes it.

This is just as delusional as when someone buys a house for $300k and sells it 10 years later for $350k and says "I made $50k on my house"....ok did you factor in the $100k in interest you spent on the mortgage?
The point rentcels forget to factor in is that unless you own your home outright, you are still paying for a roof over your head via mortgage or rent. So no, you didn't net $50k on the sale of that house in your example, but you netted a lot more than someone who spent the last 15-30 years renting instead of paying off a mortgage...

I pay about $1,275/month for mortgage, taxes and insurances on a 3 bedroom ~1,800 sq ft home. I would be looking at spending at LEAST that much to rent a similar home in my area. So for more or less the same monthly expenditure, I'll take building equity FTW Alex...

True. When the market goes up. But most miscers don't have the right persecutive of housing markets. There are also times like 2007 where 10 years of home price appreciation are wiped out and it takes another decade to fully recover. In those cases, the renters profited (and could then buy cheap) while the homeowners who bought at the peak lost out (at least for awhile).

Over the long term, owning is the right choice economically in the vast majority of the cases, but time horizons do matter.

You make about the total you spent on repairs, insurance and property taxes back.

Oh yeah and the money you pay to get trash hauled.

LOL

Great business plan, spend 15-30 years trying to break even before the bank takes your home.

See this is exactly my point - you guys have no understanding of opportunity cost. Did you buy your home with no money down?

Look at the return of the S&P 500 over the past 5 years. If you parked that down payment in an index fund instead how much is it worth now?

It's unlikely that your home appreciated in value to the same extent as the stock market. So the difference in appreciation is effectively your "return" while renting.

Not to mention that there are fixed expenses in owning a home too, like mortgage interest and property taxes. What's your return on that?

Better to do that than spend the same amount of time paying someone else's mortgage and having zero ROI for all that money spent. I'd rather break even than be negative six figures with NOTHING to show for it...

True. I got a good deal on my house (about 10k under market value) and the whole area has gone up in value significantly over the past 4 years that I have owned it, so I'm sitting pretty comfortably at the moment.

I don't need to, because I'm willing to at least acknowledge that there are pros and cons to both.

You said that in no scenario is renting > buying, which is factually inaccurate. If you can't even understand that basic concept, it's not worth the time or effort to explain it to you. You'll always be financially illiterate.

$1800/mo for a studio in San Francisco. It does have a large storage room/office that is not really habitable as a bedroom so it's technically a studio not a 1 bedroom. Big bathroom, full kitchen.

For an apartment in a nice neighborhood with a great downtown view and ample street parking it's actually really cheap compared to most here. Bonus: it's on top of a very big steep hill, so there are no homeless encampments or human feces on the street. You need to go about 8 blocks downhill for that.
