And losing equity doesn't have anything to do with paying your note. Your note won't just go up randomly. Sure your house isn't worth as much, but your note didn't change when you signed that name.



correct

What does this mean? Like there are people not paying their mortgage? To me that just screams, "I bought a house I have 0 business living in, because I can't afford it". Covid was 2 years ago. I don't think you can use that as an excuse for no money.



or it could be inflation is up to about 8% and all other expenses went up(although still could cut tons of expenses before missing a house payment)

or it could be they lost thier job or the spouse lost thier job so overall household income went down.


those bragging about not having a house payment are essentially sayign thier mental stability and lack of fear of the unknown is worth whatever money could have been made. I understand it, its not going with the hard numbers, but many on here work in fields that are volitile so they fear losing thier jobs. Thats why so many on here are fearful of recessions.

for people like me and stout and others that are in very very stable positions both job wise and financially, recessions are opportunities to consolidate and add to the portfolio. and ill admit it can come off douche and pretensious when we say things like....i see opportunity to get vacation rentals at the expense of others losing their primary home. for that i do apologize, i dont mean to come off like that, but sometimes the truth hurts peoples feelings and at a time when people are emotional due to suffering...it can come off as being a dickhead.

Adequate inventory is still years away. Home prices will more than likely stabilize before they would drastically dip.

Foolish thinking, with the rate as low as they were, everything was basically on sale. It's not that people can't afford the houses, they just can't afford to miss these deals.

It's a shame that more banks weren't as forward thinking as BoA to go back to the $0 down and waiving closing costs. Could have gotten than $500k house on a ~$50k a year job

If you just go ahead and put this quote in your tag line, you wouldn’t have to repeat it in every single real estate thread on this board.

if you know this is the answer, why were you asking about it earlier in the thread?

certainly not to post this for the 10th time this week...

You think having a house paid off is bad?
Both houses were 15 year notes. Paid off years before raisin brain fricked the economy.

Still laughing frickface?
You can’t have shite to your name can you?
Who’s inept now tard?
You idiot.

It’s not even about that.

I bought my house a little over 2 years ago for $350k. Based on comps in the neighborhood, I likely could’ve listed and sold my house in Jan for between $550k and $600k.

It’s not just about rates being low. I don’t want a $600k mortgage at 2.75%. I couldn’t afford a $600k mortgage at 7.75%. Yet people were still paying it. I honestly never believed my house was worth that much and wasn’t ever banking on that being real equity.

I got extremely lucky getting into my home at a good price and great rate. My brother just bought a more expensive house at a substantially higher rate and im honestly not sure how they are going to make it work, especially if the market tanks. I’ve got a lot of breathing room at a very reasonable rate. Lot of people don’t.

Ok I'm somewhat of an economics expert (I don't usually toot my own horn but it's important here). Are you telling me that if you raise Mtg rates to 7.15% people are going to buy homes at the same rate as before. Because that's not what the data shows at all. And home prices won't stabilize, but will drop because of a lack of demand. It's really quite simple.

He’s a stupid frick who thinks he knows all about investing and the financial system.
He doesn’t understand that over time notes actually get paid off.

Me and the fiancée bought a 3,000 sq ft house in January 2021 for 139k and paid cash in full. Well technically a wire transfer, not cash. Put me in the 35%

Paid our vehicles off too. Only thing I owe money on is my ski boat.

That's exactly how you end up in financial deep shite, buy buying stuff on "sale" that you don't have to buy. They'll be the first ones to ditch when they get underwater.

Congrats? Although I'm wondering what city you bought a house for 139k for and what neighborhood at this point that won't have a ski boat vandalized
