Gamingsince1989 03/05/23 9:41:09 PM #16:	It depends on where you live and what options are available to you. I saved up money to buy a house in California but the houses I wanted were out of my price range and the ones I could afford were in really bad neighborhoods. I ended up moving out of state to find houses I wanted that I could afford. I was also able to get a low interest loan through a program for teachers. They also gave me extra money for the down payment and closing costs, and I didn't have to pay that back as long as I lived in the house for 5 years. <cite>Gamingsince1989 posted [p:971981315] in How could ...

Payzmaykr 03/05/23 9:48:57 PM #19:	The issue is managing to save money while paying rent. If you can live with a family member for free or rent a place with three or four people, you can save up. Then once you have enough saved up, you can afford the down payment on a mortgage. I dont know what percentage it is, since Ive never bought a house, but I guarantee it would be six figures for a $500,000 house. Going by what people in my area tell me, a mortgage isnt very much more expensive than rent. By that, I mean its roughly the average price to rent a house. My brother and I are both in a situation where we can bankroll some money for a couple years and hopefully have enough for the down payment on a mortgage to share a house. Then we ask our parents to talk to their real estate guy and make sure we dont get screwed over. Then we pay a mortgage for several decades, but never have to worry about the landlord taking the property back for personal use again. Backup plan: My parents downsize and make massive profit from their house, then buy a house for themselves and one for my brother and me. Then we pay them back, which would be less stressful than paying a bank. It would also help them keep some monthly income because theyre retired now. <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:971981467] in How could ...

Euripides 03/06/23 9:01:55 AM #25:	Know that you're not going to be buying your dream house. Once you get your foot in the door and move from rent to mortgage, then "leveling up" your house becomes easier. It's the point of entry that is really tough. Our first home purchase was a 2 bedroom apartment that had been converted from a rental to a condo. It wasn't very big, and it was definitely overpriced for the square footage, but it got us to where we are now. <cite>Euripides posted [p:971988836] in How could ...

I have been ringing the alarm bell for years but nobody listens to me.and by landlords they mean huge corporate ones, not a guy who saved all his life in order to have an extra property or two to rent </quote> ...

I live in one of the cheapest areas of SoCal and this was like the minimum to get a decent house in a decent neighborhood. You can get cheaper but you may end up with an older home in a not so nice neighborhood, etc. Thats not bad at all compared to what I expected. I could honestly do that if I buckle down. <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:972011337] in How could ... [t:80369952]...</cite> <quote>Itachi157 posted... </cite><quote>@Payzmaykr it was 425k.

Enderknight17 03/07/23 12:21:40 PM #50:	I got fortunate that my parents gave me an acre of land. My dad bought it as a foreclosure for under $2k. Had a well and septic system already. With all of the junk on the property he hauled off he made his money back just in scrap metal. We were able to use the property as collateral so didn't have a down payment. Worked my ass off, though, in getting the site ready for our house. We decided on a modular and between my dad and myself we did so much damn work. Grading, foundation, waste plumbing, etc. To pay for all of that me and my wife lived very frugally for a long time. Literally beans and rice every day. No going out to eat. Didn't buy anything that wasn't completely necessary. We were lucky in a lot of ways but definitely made sacrifices to position ourselves to take advantage of the opportunity given to us. Most of the time when I mention to people what we did they're automatically against the idea. Don't want to give up their smartphone, hobbies, eat as cheap as possible, stuff like that. It's possible but takes sacrifice. --- RIP BigAirDay aka Bill. Not changing this signature until the Carolina Panthers win the Super Bowl.
