      Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.

A car or truck that is 20k, cost 1/3rd of my home, and in 15 years, will be worth a couple thousand at best. So they paid 30k for a car loan that is now worth 3k.

      The alternative is trying to outpace inflation with saving up.

    Refinancing a mortgage is not always a bad deal. I took out a 30 yr mortgage years ago at 6% interest. After 10 yrs I refinanced to a 15 yr mortgage at 3% thus lowering my monthly payment and reducing the length of my mortgage by 5 years. Closing costs on the refinance was minimal as well. If you're smart and your timing is right, it can pay off doing this.

Funnily enough, BC politicians hate RV people because they don't pay property taxes. So there's that silver lining.

      You have to live below your means. I bought my 1000 SQ ft home in 94. I was 26. I remember the real estate agent trying to get me to buy something bigger because I had the credit and income to afford it. He called the house I selected a "starter home" I took out a 30 year loan. I paid extra on principal every month and paid it off in 11 years. My interest rate was 6.75%. Had I got the house I could barely afford vs. what I needed, I would be just now paying it off 30 years later. I'm a single male living in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. Why would I need more house? I've invested and saved to become a millionaire, yet you wouldn't think so at all by the way I dress and what I drive. My life is easy. I'm quite content still in my "starter home".

    Video basically describes how amortization works on a mortgage and how more and more people are unlikely to stay in the house they just bought for long enough to actually pay off any of the principle of the loan. Essentially meaning that if one just stays in a house they own for a couple years before moving, they are basically just renting from the bank as little to none of the loan was paid off.

Yeah mortgages are bad as investments usually but renting means 100% losses. A mortgage mitigates that loss.

It is also funny to note that Brits say that apartments like that smell like piss and people would use elevator as a toilet, but in Omsk where I`m from, in the full absence of any CCTV no one have ever pissed in the elevator, which just shows the difference between cultural level of post USSR and UK. Tower block is not the problem, its of a people problem.
      This individualism taken to extreme and fear of any collective is a sign of a society with low level of culture and lack of decency. If you have decent people around you, who wash dishes and clean up their place, sharing a house or living in a dorm is not an issue. I lived in a shared house with an American white kid who was a foreign student and with a Polish dude, I would say - I would rather share a house with Pole than live in a separate house on the same street with an American. Complete absence of any empathy or ability to understand other peoples perspective, basic Christian values - do not act to others as you wouldn`t like to be acted upon by others.

    Average middle class salary and single. No outside financial help from anyone. Never made a lot of money in my life. No inheritance or gifts. Still bought a three bedroom townhouse in a large city. How? All I had to do was make the simple decision to live in a city I could afford. I had to balance cost of living against available salary in my field. Would I love to live somewhere else? Somewhere considered more “desirable”? Sure! But being financially responsible and cautious is more important. Next, yes the 30yr mortgage costs you an enormous amount of interest. However, unless your neighborhood REALLY goes downhill, the property will likely be worth what you’ve paid for it over those 30 yrs (minus the property taxes and major repair costs, approximately). Ultimately, it still costs you less than renting a similar property and you have a valuable asset to your name. Furthermore, once you’ve paid off that house and you’re an empty-nester you can rent it out and live somewhere smaller. This doomsday mentality of most people not being able to pay off their mortgage is silly. Yea… if you’re 50 and buy a house on a 30yr mortgage, you’re pretty dumb and you’re pushing your luck, obviously. Buy a house you can afford on a 15 or 20 or mortgage at most! So many people have this entitlement mentality that they have to buy the huge home in their 20’s just to keep up with the Jones’s. Be financially responsible.

    I’ve been told that unless you can see yourself being in the same house for 7+ years just rent bc the money you’re “throwing away” into rent is also essentially being thrown away into interest on your mortgage and at least with renting the ability to move is significantly easier than the process of selling and buying another property elsewhere.

      Depends on the mortgage and the average rent. Where I live the rent is considerably higher than a corresponding mortgage would be. Think of it as the bank being the landlord. You rent from the bank but you get whatever price increase the house accumulates. Plus you can do whatever you want because banks don't care - they're good landlords. If the mortgage is equal or less than rent, buy a house.

    @kibokowill 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The point is this. Let's say you buy a house for 300k. You could end up paying double by the time you pay it off. But what's a real killer is the what else you pay. Stamp duty, broker fees, maintenance, upgrades, roofs, pest control etc etc. With renting you don't pay this stuff. So let's say that renting is roughly the same as your mortgage, 1k a month. Yes you are in theory chucking that 1k away, but you could take the other say 300-400 a month that you are saving from not owning, invest that and compound over 30 years plus even more if you can afford it. Your not paying any interest over the 30 years, so let's say 250k. You could invest all of that over the years and end up making gains meaning that when you stop renting you could by own a reasonable house for cash and only have to maintain it for the lady say 10-20 years of your life. In that time you could also have built up passive income and a pension instead of paying interest to a bank. What you don't get is that sense of it being your home and the security of not having to move if the landlord says so, which I think holds alot of weight. With buying there is also the chance that if you sit forong enough and then downsize or move to a cheaper location then maybe you make money at the very least own your home at the end meaning that you be able to pass it on as an asset. Problem is the cost of care. So many people reach 80 and need care that could cost alot and so often need to use their house as money for care. Which could be seen as a positive or negative. Let's also not forgery that single occupancy owning is increasingly hard, so factoring into that 50 percent of mareages fail, there is a strong chance you won't make it to 30 years as a couple and going to end up splitting any principlein a settlement and then attempting to start again. Each to their own. Personally I think I'll end up living in a van.

If you're a renter, which we all are, rent cheaply, (it can be done) and invest the rest. As the renter, you should be able to do it cheaper, which is a growing challenge, you don't need to find a renter. Either way, do it right, invest the left over capital, and you're good to go.

    The video makes a good point about not overleveraging yourself to buy a home but does not present all sides of home ownership such as the fact the government incentives home ownership by subsidizing (through tax deductions) the payment of interest... that's usually reduces your interest payment by around 20%. Inflation, especially as high as it is now, also erodes the true amount of the mortgage while generally increasing the value of the property. If you financed in 2020 you would be paying 2.5% in interest while seeing inflation of around double to triple that number and (at least in CA) experiencing double digit increases in home values.

      100%. This is a consumer psychology problem, not a mortgage math problem. This is exactly why car dealers ask you what you want your monthly payment to be, rather than how much you're willing to spend on the car. They can always extend the loan terms from 3 yrs to 6 years on a car loan, depending what you can afford per month, which means you can buy more and more expensive cars (even if you probably shouldn't), simply by extending the loan to lower the monthly payment. This also goes for student loans and one reason why the cost of education has skyrocketed.

    No matter what you do you have to pay to live somewhere. But if you rent it goes up and up and at times very rapidly. I have seen people paying $1,800 per month get raised $500 in an instant. 10 years from now its going to be closer to $3,000 than not. Once you purchases a home it will stay relatively the same. Sure at first it might be expensive in the beginning but you will never have your mortgage shoot up 30% instantly unless you get a terrible loan. And if you rent for 10, 20 or 30 years you get 0% return if you move. When you retire and live on a fixed income you want your home paid for or the payment very low. When my grandmother make her last payment it was something like $150 a month. If she hadn't bought it and rented it at that time it would have been closer to $1,000 per month.
    The real reason houses are so expensive is the extremely low interests rates of the last 20 years. This has allowed the price to shoot up and up because borrowing the money was cheap.

    When the economy tanked in 2008 my dad bought 4 houses and my husband bought one. At the peak of the economy after COVID and before inflation hit, we sold our house and bought 92 acres and built a 1200sqft with cash. My dad sold 2 houses a paid cash for 2 houses in Louisiana and paid off the mortgage on the one house he still owed on. That's how you pay off your mortgage and get out of debt.

    This video has “PROPAGANDA” written all over it 😂. For the record, I’m not a real estate agent, I’m actually a common ol’ city bus driver. Our parents were low-income, but knew how to be wise with their money, and homeownership played a big role in how they were able to afford to provide for our family, as well as pass on a substantial legacy to their two children. Homeownership requires a person to be wise with money, who also has a plan to pay that mortgage off. Our parents paid off their mortgage early, and lived an extremely comfortable life in their later years. This video completely leaves out the fact that people in former generations always lived within their means - something this current generation has no clue about, and as such, they were a lot more savvy. The fact of the matter is that homeownership is one of the catalysts that built the American middle class and provided huge scores of people a path to wealth they would not have had otherwise. In my humble opinion, this video is a product of propaganda that has been spreading over the last 10 years that basically says that private property ownership is unfair in that it keeps people poor, and should be abolished in the name of “wealth redistribution.” The news in this video is not “outside the box” thinking. The elites spreading this propaganda want the American populace to abdicate, and part of that plan means relinquishing the right to own private property.

      And what you left out is former generations had a larger house hold income because the dollar was stronger and wages actually went up with productivity. Wall Street didn't have as much of a strangle hold on the overall economy back then, but thanks to Reganomics we obliterated all sorts of regulations which funneled tons of money into the pockets of the rich along with the excessive tax cuts. This money was used to buy up all sorts of assets INCLUDING HOUSING. That's the chief reason housing prices skyrocketed out of the reach of average people over the last 20 years.

    Now consider having renters. Landlords are so limited in how they can deal with delinquent tenants. Tenants have more rights than landlords. Landlord's pay all this money towards the house and land, meanwhile, they are unable to easily evict tenants who are trying to live rent free.

      The vacant home tax is to prevent a false shortage of housing to inflate prices; that thing currently in America massively jacking up the prices. It's literally there to deter manipulation of the market for profit.
      The laws are lenient on the tenants because of the inherent power imbalance. They do not have more rights than landlords, the inherent position requires different regulations and limitations to provide something closer to equity. I take it you must be one of them landlords people since it is somehow impossible for you to misunderstand that. It's also weird that you think it's the landlord paying all that money and not the tenants. But whatever.
      You have to buy the land from the landlord (the thing you're trying to prop up as super good), the mortgage (the landlord funding the landlord's lordship), property tax is to pay for the society the landlord's land exists in, maintenance on a house is generally pretty cheap - and moreso if you just do it yourself.

Inflation is insane right now also so most homes are WAY over priced, like 30% over. This is a horrible time to buy a house to live in, even investment properties don't make since at these rates because rents are collapsing. Who tf can afford 2k or more a month rent that doesn't live in a city? ( that's $11/hour standard work week gone to rent out of your paycheck ). I mean, in some parts of the country, $20/ hour is a good wage, minus that $11/hour rent, my god you're going to be so poor. That's worse than house poor, that's rent poor, you get nothing for it, and so rents are collapsing right now because there are SO many Air BnB's screwing up the market.

      Indeed, it takes financial responsibility to afford a house! :)

    I can't disagree more. The 30 year mortgage is the smart way to buy a home. Instead of making higher payments on a 15 year mortgage, invest the difference in the stock market and after 30 years, you will have a paid off house and more money than you did paying the house off early.

      Literally. Especialllly if you have a low interest mortage. Ours is literally less than 3%.

      @@rowanfontaine7632 That's not low, here in Europe it was even lower than 1%. I have 3 mortgage parts. (Yes we can take our mortgages with us when we move) so that happens. One with 1.25%, one with 3.6% and one with 4.5% (latest one) because i just moved. And no the mortgages do not start over... they just continue. So im not in an amortization trap like this youtuber said. That is BS here.

      @nomadmgtow Yes. Renting does at times make sense. I rented for over 10 myself. My comment was based on the binary mortgage choice.

    You always pay more than your bill and you can direct more to the principal just as you can direct more to your escrow (the account they hold your insurance and taxes at). Go hard up front to distrupt the amortization schedule. Just pay more on your principal each month and always do a Principal Interests and Escrow loan bundled so you don't have to worry about taxes yourself come due time. If you bought a house from 2008 thru 2016 you were good. Also you can pay off a house and not move aka don't take on a new loan in a higher rate higher property valued environment. Always fixed rate. No adjustable or variable rate.

    As much as I agree with this, I've tried living in a custom-built camper van for 3 years and not having a steady place to park and having to poop inside a van is a pretty annoying trade off. Can't even count the number of times I've been woken up in the middle of the night, either security, police, or just hood rats messing with me.. wasn't really worth not having a mortgage.

      This guy doesnt even bring in the fact your home appreciates in value over this time. My home I bought for $75K 5 years ago, invested $25K into it. It is now valued at over $200K.

      That's because police and security are demon"s helpers. So long as you're not harming anyone and you're not on private property, or you're in a large parking lot far off into the outskirts where nobody could possibly be bothered by you you shouldn't be bothered.
