    I had a friend that did the dumb thing and got an adjustable rate where he could basically buy way more house than he can afford so his payment started out at like 1500. They balloon to 8500. He ended up losing the house and all the money he put down such a bad mistake.

    7 years? Honey had time to pay that down. 2500 a month is the minimum payment. Got to get ahead of that amortization schedule so it is paid off sooner. She should have been at least halfway to paying it off.

    So this is a very uninformed view. A manufactured home is a modern trailer and is done the day they deliver it, so I totally agree on that. However, a Modular is actually a standard stick and mortar house that was build in section in a factory first, then those sections were put together (over 3-6 months) just like a regular house but faster because sections were build in a climate controlled area where weather didn’t slow anything down, all material is ready for use, less surprises because all supplies are available immediately during the build. No unexpected Lowe’s trips that drive up costs. once put in place it is considered exactly the same for home loans, insurance and resale value increases. I recommend you do some research on the different because technically a modular is even sturdier built than a regular house. How many regular houses (if in sections) could be transported on a flat bed and swung around with a crane without breaking? Modular’s have to go through multiple quality control levels. And built sturdier than an average house. And they are not the same as trailers (manufactured houses) as they are permanent structures once they are placed

    This was an adjustable rate mortgage issue not a tax issue. Always get a fixed 30 year mortgage and work to pay it off early.

  • @MaddieAU
    @MaddieAU 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I have a fixed rate mortgage. Property taxes went up (my home’s fair market value) … and I’m paying ~124 more a month. I bought in 2021 and the new tax went into effect in 2024. I think it’ll be assessed again in 3 years. I will look into your suggestions… I am in NC. My fixed rate is 2.4%. I will not do anything to loose that 30 year rate.

    Used a local builder in central Texas (Purser Homes). Worst experience of my life! They didn't have a superintendent, they are very powerful in the area and intimidated my builder, the inspector, and anybody that tried to hold them accoutable (unbeknownst to me), impossible to get them to do repairs, etc. We've had issues with drywall, windows, AC, you name it. Just about everyone that ones one of their homes also had a similar experience. It sucks that quality builds and reputation mean nothing anymore.

    Saying that the HOA was created to keep black people out is ignorant.

    Yes , if you have to get an adjustable mortgage to purchase a house, you don't need that house. That's the most stupidest idea in the world. If you know you don't have that money when it comes to pay that balloon payment ,you should not ever choose that type of loan. Because all it means is I can't afford this house. I'm about to be house poor.

    People complain about renting, they complain about owning a home. This is adulting. It sucks sometimes. It's expensive sometimes. But unless you're going to move back in with your parents or find a man or woman to take care of you it's still something you have to do.
