Get a mortgage. Payments come out to the same as monthly rent, and you are essentially giving most of it back to yourself instead of throwing it out the window by renting. And yea owning a home in the city is expensive as fuk, but you're also getting paid a lot more than people in small towns get paid.

Man, I think San Diego is bad then I see some of you guys (seems like Canadians and Aussies in particular) post stuff like this and suddenly I dont feel quite so bad about the prices here. I still would much prefer to "settle down" somewhere cheaper.

What am I missing here? According to that, you can't even get a 5 year variable loan that low.

i think the issue is that you are only financing for 25 years. change it to 30 and you should be good to go.

Don't know what people's obsession is with owning a house.

There's so many negatives. You're stuck there basically and the up keep alone are enough to make me pass.

The whole argument that renting is throwing money away is kind of moot when you consider the work most homeowners put in just to keep the house from falling apart.

I know financially it's still a gain but it's not worth the effort. I'd rather have my time to work on other things in life or enjoy life. Not to mention the flexibility of renting.

I swear I'm more likely to progress to higher wages and better jobs with the flexibility I maintain than digging in roots with a house and becoming inflexible to potential opportunities.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

5%?? LMAO should be aiming for 3% MAX

What's wrong this this place?



Only $760k, needs a little work on it but first time buyers should expect that.

You even get the pleasure of dealing with this *******..

Did you say what you do btw?

I am guessing since the cost of living is high af in Toronto that 300k is obviously doing good for yourself but not as good as if you were in my neck of the woods. 300k you would never have a worry in your life. Hell no one in my office makes that currently (some are 200k) but they are living the dream.

No I don't you're an idiot... I work for a fund company and I support an external wholesaler by booking meetings for him,updating clients on their funds, providing market insight, organizing client events etc.

The progression is 3-5 years as an insider and when you move to external you start at 150ish and can make 300k plus depending on your territory and other factors

Stop talking chit you fuk

Look at price/rent ratio, sometimes renting is the best path if it allows you to save more

I feel like if me, op and a couple other young solid single men in the Toronto area pooled our money together we could buy a ballin $1 million dollar house and live in it. Like if 4 of us each make $60k a year that is like $250k income we could afford it

And my education ? It's pretty solid for my line of work

You're probably thinking of maybe like retail advisors or people who work in bank branches or something cause you are very very mistaken srs no hate

Tiny AF 2BR condo where I am would be 1mil+

Something similar to what you posted would be in the 3-5mil range. That's the price you pay for being in a good neighborhood in a major city.

Aren't there any slums you could move to with a short commute?

I currently own a 3 bedroom 1800+ sq ft that's way too big for me and have been considering getting a cheap and small house like this since the STL real estate market is stupid low and then I could easily rent my current house out at $1100-1500/month and have an income property while building dual equity until I get to a point in my life where I'm ready to make a change again. As a young single dude I have no business owning and maintaining a 3 bedroom property just to live there by myself.

Sounds nice in theory but I'm also doing my research with my mentor to make sure I'm buying in the right situation and in regards to establishing/converting my current property to a rental

I know the location location location thing...but man it just seems like such an artificial inflation. I live a good life here in STL, have access to just about everything that everyone else does living in a major city, entertainment, shopping, dining, events, sports, music, etc.
