Getting a mortgage vs buying a house outright with cash?

Which one would you rather do? I'm not far off a deposit for a mortgage but it would take me 10+ years to save enough to buy a house outright.

With a mortgage it's a fixed rate/price but you're also in debt with the bank and if your circumstances change, you lose your job etc you're pretty much fuked and lose the home.

Buying outright is so much simpler and less hassle, don't need to go through bullchit credit checks etc.
That being said by the time I have enough money to buy a house outright the same properties I want will probs be well over 50% higher.

25% deposit 75% mortgage will get you a good interest rate and also the option of changing the mortgage to a buy to let if you choose to rent it out or buy something bigger in the future.

Also you live in leeds arent flats around 30k in that chithole ?

Nah they're like 100-150k on average, some even 200k+ srs.

Plus flats are almost always a leasehold so there's a good possibility you have to pay ground rent etc.

You can find a really grubby run down one for 40-50k.

I’ve done both.
There’s no better feeling in the world than paying for a house with cash and not needing a bank at all. Just an attorney.
You can make lowball offers and most of the time they are accepted due to the sellers knowing it will be a smooth transaction. Then. Once you move into “your” new home you just pay the taxes and utilities. It’s awesome. No bank bull**** contracts or payments.

Lol that you think I have bout 350k cash on hand. There’s plenty more than that brah. I got very lucky in life. Have a living trust and made some very smart financial decisions plus never had any kids. Was retired at 48. Took over a small business and sold it 4 years ago.
I own my homes outright in Naples Florida and Cape Cod and nothing I possess is financed. Hate the game bro.

I own my personal residence and several rentals that I rent to rentcels and dropped 100% cash every single time. Like mentioned above....you come in with 100% cash you will never pay anywhere close to listed price. The seller always gives a discount to avoid potential headaches.

It’s almost like poors think everyone else should be poor too. Like if I can’t have money. No one else should.
They never understand that some people do good in school. Value education. Get into a great college and actually pay attention. Then go into the workforce and work hard for a living.
I didn’t go to some shiit tier liberal arts fukstick school. I was educated by Jesuit priests to actually learn something. Ultra conservative college.
I laugh at lazy jealous fooks that will rent apartments from people like you for life. My good friend just bought a brand new McLaren in cash from rentCels.

Do you have a deposit of over 25k and a income of over 25k ? If yes mortgage IS cheaper than renting.

10 years of building equity while having something to live/invest money into that shouldn’t really depreciate unless you buy on an eroding cliff side or chit tier council estate

Id this really a miscers question? I thought we were better than this

For the average dude, paying your principle residence in full AT ANY TIME is foolish. Assuming your mortgage rate is lower than your expected returns on investments, you will be better off financially in the long term by investing the balance instead of letting that equity sit and do nothing.

5% mortgage vs 9% return historically on S&P500. No Brainer

This

Even people who can buy things outright usually opt for a mortgage for this reason.
"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."

Income yes deposit no, I only have 10k savings (yeah I know I should have more but I didn't save for years)

However because I live at home I can easily save 1k+ a month so can hit over 25k in 1-2 years.

How long is your mortgage term?

Nice try. Keep playing.

I was born and raised until I was married in Brockton Mass. Went to Brockton high school. Grew up in a 800 square foot home worth $17,000. Even my trust was earned through hard work.
No one from Brockton is born into money. It’s called hard work. Did extremely well in high school and got into a top tier college.
No one. Especially I will ever give you anything. You’ve got to take it.
