If you're in a good position, the opportunity will be incredible though. Good chance to position yourself well going forward.


This is kinda what scares me.. If a good opportunity presented itself, I could pick up some property and use it as a rental. My two biggest concerns are if the renters totally trash the place causing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in damages, or the government continues to do stupid things like passing laws where renters or squatters have more rights than the owners..

having your house paid off is not something to brag about when interest rates less than a year ago were under 3% and inflation was over 5%. now inflation is closer to 8%, essentially those people braggin about having a house paid off left free money on the table. in the case of a house, its serious money.


The free money is the 2k a month he is saving by not paying a mortgage anymore.

Well I think the FED are a bunch of fricktards. I mean who raises fricking interest rates in a recessionary environment? The last time we did that we got the great depression. But with that said, their data compilations are good.
I don't see a way out for the FED. Hike rates and shrink balance sheet to project USD hegemony and tame inflation on one side. Keep rates static and continued QE and run the risk of losing USD global status, and with continued inflation the USD becomes the Argentine Peso on the other side.

I think they'll try to split the baby and thus kill the economy and keep inflation sky high. It's the FED way.

And quite a bit of those people went 2 years without paying mortgages. To bad they weren't smart enough to save some of that.


^ This. A buddy of mine I work with went almost 2 years not paying his mortgage. Didn't save a dime of that money and when his bill came due he had to refinance and add it all to the backend of his mortgage.

I understand some folks get hit hard with things out of their control but a lot of people just have no concept of saving money. This same buddy isn't putting anything into his 401k cause "he will be dead by 60 anyways". I tell him he's an idiot and he just laughs

You don't know shite about my situation. You spew shite on matters you have no idea on. No money on the table. In my portfolio. I understand money. Have quite a bit of it.

Retired at 57. Comfortably. You on the other hand are still working waiting on the windfall to help you out. Enough of your shite.

the Dave Ramsey line was good though.

good for you buddy

seriously its awesome you are retired, but still makes more sense to have taken out a mortgage last year. now if you have determined for you that it is better for piece of mind to not have one and money left on the table be damned...cool. its worth it for you.

in that case, really wasnt talking abotu you i was more trolling some of the idiots on here that think any amount of debt is bad and only paying cash is good at a time that inflation is 8%.

and i was being an arse and obtuse....pretty much trolling but also trying to get some on here to understand and maybe think critically about things.

:cheers:

Yes but resorting to foreclosure means you can’t make the payment and can’t sell it for what you owe. Hence the stupid financial decision

This.

I fail to see how raising rates now correlates to people already behind on payments

not even close. i have plenty of things paid off. i laugh at those that insist its a great financial decision or should i say was as right now its a pretty good decision with current rates.

im just making fun of those that get on here that are poor yet get on here and preach about how dumb taking out certain loans are.

if you want to pay something off....go ahead, just do preach at others about how dumb they are with debt if you dont want to be called out on it.

Where do you suggest investing the cash from the mortgage you take out on your paid off home that's costing 3% per year. The S&P? Gamestop? Ornamental Gourd futures?
