Mehitable User ID: 72188666 United States 05/19/2017 11:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Considering the real estate crash a few years ago and how many people were left under water, and that we probably have another crash coming, it can make sense to rent, especially when you're young and don't have your life plans worked out. Lot of people need mobility for work or want to travel. Being tied down to a property that may lose its value substantially is just not attractive for a lot of folks. |

Now, two month's rent payments on each pay for the property taxes, maintenance fees and insurance and all the rest is profit, to the tune of about $2400/month, which has allowed me to scale my self-employment down to part time and set my own schedule. Meanwhile all three properties have appreciated in value since I've owned them. The first one I paid $50k for could easily be sold for $65k now and the most recent one, which has a second bathroom would fetch $75. All of these units are currently being rented by millennials who, in casual conversation, tell me how much they like to rent because they think it is stupid to own a house and that they never will. They all work menial service jobs here and there and are always complaining about not having any money. Meanwhile, they are making me a small fortune. People often talk about how stupid and out of touch with the real world that millenials are but there are certainly ways to profit from their stupidity, which I strongly encourage.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74922505 well done! Vacant homes? It must be local because housing is in demand here. I have a few rent house and the longest it's taken to rent one was 4 days, usually it's rented by the time it's been cleaned and the fresh paint is dry, 1-2 days. Another bubble won't matter because they are all paid for and people will always need housing. I take no profit until it's paid for and with rent going for between 2-3 times the house note it doesn't take long to pay off the principle. THANK YOU for being a renter! |

They pay the mortgage AND rent in the form of taxes for the rest of their life. If they stop paying that rent or end up in a position where they can't afford it anymore, their landlord the government takes it away. How stupid is THAT? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74589909 United States 05/19/2017 12:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bought a 3 bedroom home in north San Diego in 2013 and my total payment was less than what most my friends were paying to rent a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in the trendy areas closer to downtown. (usually close to 2500 just for a shitty one bedroom) I just moved into a larger house with a view and have my other one rented out cash flowing about 700 a month to a young millennial couple. The house also gained about 100k in equity. California is really a stupid place to buy real estate because its so expensive, but I grew up in San Diego and really don't see myself leaving anytime soon due to my business being here. |

THANK YOU for being a renter! MY stock broker thanks you! MY bank account thanks you! AND MY rental management company thanks you!!!!! What you turds can't seem to grasp is it's a business and being a business it's about profit, if there wasn't profit I and many others wouldn't be doing it. In any business there will always be business costs and like any other business they get rolled in to what you pay hence the 2-3 times the house note in rent. I LOVE people like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

BleachedPink1111 User ID: 43600782 United States 05/19/2017 12:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, I will be like you someday. I guess I am considered a "Millenial," as I was born in 1982, but I am right on the cusp, so I don't feel dumb like one. But I am DONE with renting! I want to own my own house that I can fix up, paint how I want it, etc. Then possibly sell for a profit in about 5 years give or take. I am sick of throwing away my money on rent, when I could be putting it into my house, and get back someday if I ever want to sell. My problem is, I haven't been able to afford one yet, but I am getting veryclose! I am a self-employed artist, so it has been slow going, but I have been working diligently to pay down my debt, and am nearly down to a level I feel comfortable with, plus my credit score is much better. But I am considered low income, so it has been a struggle the past few years to even think I could afford a home. But I realized there is a way! There is free money out there for those willing to seek it! I can potentially buy a cheap fixer-upper house (I'm totally into refinishing and all that type of stuff) with no money down! I already have down payment assistance figured out and will potentially have $5,000 towards that. I will have a $1,000 in earnest money saved up, and another $400 for Inspection fee. And the mortgage bank I want to do business with offers an additional $1,000 down payment assistance and they cover closing costs as a house warming gift! So there are plenty of houses in my price range, and the area has very low taxes too. Plus I have found another free money source. I qualified for and got set up with an IDA account: Individual Development Account, offered through my state. It is a program for low income to help you get ahead a little easier. For the money I save, they will match me 3 to 1. So I plan to max out the amount I can save and what they will match to, and I will end up with $4,800 by next October. The only stipulation to get this money is that it has to be used toward home repair (or downpayment on a house), opening a business, or further school/education. It's a pretty cool program. I plan on using it to fix up any major stuff with whatever house I get, and then sell within 2 years or so, and take the Capital Gains exemption for the profit. I plan to buy rental properties someday. I used to be a leasing agent, so I know what it entails. If you haven't had enough time or money to save for retirement, rental properties are the way to retire... Last Edited by Bleached1111 on 05/19/2017 12:27 PM |

The units are relatively small, the 1 bedrooms are 800sqft and the two bedrooms are 950sqft but they are nice clean, low maintenance. They are part of a managed property which provides all exterior maintenance to both the units and the grounds. very well maintained by a management company. I bought into them at the low end, before the market had even really began to recover. And yes, I bought these units specifically because they were cheap but were still able to pull in $800-$900/month rent. The rise in value has just occurred within the past 2-3 years. My plan is to sell all three when the combined value reaches $250k. Thanks millennials! |

No. "Villas" here are single floor condos that are part of a larger structure. Each building is separated into 5 villas. All tenants are white working class and pay me directly.

Bud Fox User ID: 2574216 United States 05/19/2017 03:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Home ownership over the long term is a generally a break even deal for most people. (due to taxes and upkeep). If you can buy units that need only basic maintenance and flip them before costly repairs like roofs need to be done, you can make out like a bandit. Like all investing timing is everything.
