Why I, as a Milennial, will NEVER be buying a House | |

What do I need to "own" for? Most of your money is getting dumped towards interest. You'll be getting suckered into paying inflated interest money while barely touching your principle, all for a house that you don't actually own, seeing how you pay property taxes on it. In some places it isn't modest either. New Jersey and New York have counties and towns where it is $15,000 or more a year. |

Ride my bike if I want, go to the range once or twice a week, fishing etc. I like doing general maintenance. Fuck the yard work though, I mow it but hire someone to do the rest when needed. I love tools, I look for excuses to go buy a new tool, not many tools that I don't own. Owning and knowing how to use tools is what also helps save you money in the long run. The ability to fix and maintain the property is allows me to afford someone to do the yard work when I do not feel like doing it. |

Correct you owe your lender bank money for a loan to secure a home and property for yourself through a 15 or 30-year mortgage however, you can pay more some months thus decreasing your loan interest rate thus paying off your loan faster. Included in your rent is fees for property taxes thus you are not skating out of that obligation. HOA fees are for individuals or senior citizens ho do not wish to mow their front yards or shovel snow, a convince to these homeowners as they are willing to pay a monthly fee for these services. When you move you meander off to another location that you will never own sucking all your resources for nothing in return. Renting is simply lost resources. |

So I will be renting, forever, and NEVER buying property. Boomers have fucked the housing market to no end. They are putting these houses that haven't been renovated in 40 years on the market for half a million dollars. Im not playing this game. Fuck the whole "you want to buy a house so you can own something " bullshit. I could care less about home ownership when renting is cheaper and doesnt require me to take out a mortgage loan to be enslaved to the bank. Wise position in a downgrading market, unwise position in an upgrading market. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70079334 you 'rent' for the cost of your property taxes. mine are about $600/month...quite high. but i can't rent a 6br 3900 sq. ft. house for $600/month...which is what I OWN. STOP PAYING "PROPERTY" TAXES and see how much you "OWN" anything... You people don't see a MASONIC SCAM right in front of your faces, isn't it??? WHO GAVE THEM THE "RIGHT" TO RENT IT TO YOU??? WHO??? It's pretty simple, really. To quote OP. i say again...for $600/month, i get to live in a huge, nice home worth over $360k. that $600/month also pays for the good public schools that my kids attend, it pays for police and fire services, and it buys be a much reduced tuition rate to the local community college if my kids want to take classes. that $600/month also reduces my taxable income by over $7k per year...thus reducing my federal tax burden in years when i actually have one. and if i get tired of taking care of my home, i can sell it and walk away with over $300k. or, i can rent it out to people like you for the going rate...around $2k/month in my area. even if i set aside half that for my taxes and maintenance, i still pocket $1k/month...that i can use toward another personal residence or rental property. i can do this because over the last 30 years, i've only rented for about 9 of them and i have owned for the rest. i've never needed an auto loan because i've always been able to borrow against my home equity with low tax-deductible interest. live however you want but in this country, none of us ever truly own anything. for building wealth and net worth, owning real estate in the right location is rarely the wrong thing to do. You didn't answer the question that I posted. WHO gave THEM the "RIGHT" to RENT it to YOU??? WHO?? ok..if you want to play the 'sovereign citizen', go for it. i choose to play their game using their own rules to my advantage. fewer red flags that way. |

They want Americans to be in debt. It isnt worth it, especially if you dont have children or a family. The taxes on my house have increased so much to where I have no choice but to sell by the end of this year. I bought my house for $265,000. I put down 4%. My monthly payments, last year, were $2000. This year its $2500. And thats not even including the other ridiculously high fees I have to pay. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45747000 Do not buy. It is a scam. I was coerced by family members to buy a house and "build equity" but it has done nothing but damage my finances. It's not worth it. I've paid thousands in interest. I'm putting my house on the market by the end of this summer and I will be renting a house for $1550 a month. I'm never doing this again. You probably bought more house than you need and through ignorance you did not research the taxes and fees. And you probably did a 30 year loan also. If you cannot buy in cash it's more than you can afford. Retards propping up house prices by taking out a mortgage on a home they can't afford without borrowing money they don't have. |
