LOL @ Rentcels you are peasants

"Just put your money in the market bro!"

Peasant style cope.

In the mean time a guy who owns his house outright

- Never has to worry about rent going up, what would of gone to rent goes into stocks and real estate on top of the amount he would be investing as a rentcel
- No one is kicking him out unless his wife takes the house and she can hang all the black dildos from the walls she wants no landlord to say no
- Owns an asset that he can borrow against and at ridiculously low interest rates
- If he loses his job, the equity in his home can carry him until his next job and he does not even need to pay rent either his living costs are far lower
- Will not wake up at 60 years old paying rent and wondering if his furniture will even fit in the next place
- Does not need to keep the names of a few movers handy
- Owns an asset that will tend to track inflation anyway
- Major tax write offs to free up more money for stonks.
- The home is his, can come and go as he pleases

etc etc

Imagine taking out a $300k loan with interest to go all in some random stock... that’s what you’re doing with a house, except you have all kinds of other expenses a stock doesn’t have so it’d be like $300k loan plus margin fees on top of the interest

Just lol

2 things I miss about renting:

1. Something breaks down; call to building management to have it fixed.

2. You have access to multiple washers and dryers so you can finish your laundry in probably half the time.

There are pros and cons to both and each can serve purposes for indiviudual circumstances. The fact that OP got babbys first subprime mortgage loan and think he is better than everyone is a sign that he doesnt realize he will be paying almost the entire mortgage amount in interest one time over through the course of the loan and that he has to pay 90% of that interest up front in the first 10 years. Also dont forget, taxes, hoa, cdd you are still SOMEBODYS bitch OP doesnt matter if you rent or "own". In reality we OWN nothing.

Rentcels always ignore the fact that they will NEVER get their rent money back, and that their landlord is profiting from them, even after all the "repairs".

The home buyers almost always make their money back and then some.

What about the fact that you can sell the house before you even actually own it, and you can keep the difference? Never acknowledged.

My last home sold for over $30k over the mortgage after living there for 3 years. Mortgage was $900 / month for a two bedroom. Barely spend anything on "repairs".

My current home is already up $25k in value after two years. After selling this one I'll have enough money for a down payment on a NEW house.

Cope on rent cells. If you can make more than that liquid from investing go for it but all the while you'll be stuffed in a box that's not yours with neighbors on all sides.

Housing was never supposed to be an investment and right now its baby boomer musical chairs, only a matter of time before the music stops.

but who was time value of money trapped in your home?

the issue at hand is if price of mortgage and ALL costs (often underestimated and not included, including your TIME which is priceless) is <= rent.

In most cases this is not true, as individuals tend to buy a home that is much nicer than that which they rent.

No thanks, bud.
I'll let somebody else pay mortgage and fees while I'll just invest and leverage all the rest.

They can enjoy their depreciating "asset" all they want.

For those five years you have paid mostly only interest to the bank. Probably almost zero towards the actual principal of the loan. If you sell it, you pay land transfer taxes and probably realtor fees, which will cut out most of that profit you're talking about. Oh, and in 5 years you've paid probably at least 15k in property taxes as well. So your supposed profit isn't as much as you think.

55k profit - 15k realtor/lawyer fees if you sold, 5k in land transfer and another 15k in property tax means actual profit of 20k in five years. And your mortgage principal is probably exactly the same. Only person laughing is your bank.

If you took out a loan for 300k and invested it at a return of 6% you would be 100k up in that same five years.

All the housing prices went up, so you lost money when you factor in all of the closing costs and other fees. Only way that's a good tradeoff is if you sold your home in somewhere like Cali and moved to Texas.

Ok so I get $20K. How much do you get with renting when you leave? Where I live monthly rental costs are well ABOVE what I am paying monthly for my mortgage (which will not go up due to demand in the rental market BTW). How are people who are renting all of a sudden having all of this extra money to invest to make more money then the possible increase in home value?

Dont forget that the house he is buying also appreciated as much in value as the house he sold. So unless he is making lateral moves and pocketing some, he is spinning wheels in mud
