Still beats renting. They own the capital appreciation of the property and inflation erodes the mortgage debt. If you rent you are short inflation.

I think the boomer model of being in the same place and planting firm roots is over. We want to move around, work remotely, I don't want to be tied down somewhere. I'd like to be able to move to a different city, not have the next 30 years of my life and my entire savings tied up in some suburban hellscape shitbox. The 30 year mortgage is relatively new, 100 years ago bullshit like this was unheard of. Hence less apartments are built so the mortgage industry can make more money.

Long-term, fixed-rate debt is good debt, though. You pay a fixed amount every month while the currency loses value continuously. If you're renting, then every time your lease renews, you're prone to seeing your monthly payment *increase* with (or possibly even exceeding) the inflation rate.

Do you need to consooom travellll and take black cock every night in beach resorts in bali? Consoom new experiences and blow all your money on rent because yolo?

mind you, I'm not advocating for renting because that's just pissing money away but it's more viable than if your interest payment would be greater than the cost of rent anyway. Buying a house is the way to go but these are piss poor arguments

I have two friends who each 'bought a house' with NO FUCKING MONEY DOWN!!

They've been virtually paying all interest these past few years!!
They talking about 'getting back' what they put into their starter houses to upgrade in the future, but uh, nope! They've basically been renting all this time.

>>
>>59092478
Actually mortgages are far greater cash sinks then renting just these days. At least where I am in BC Canada. The interest is so high it’s more then what you would ever pay for rent.

It’s only a better deal when interest is low so you can build a good amount of equity that makes it financially smarter then renting

>>59094281
The people you responded to accounted for interest and inflation, dumbass.
>>
>>59092444
When Americans mention "30 year mortgages" are they talking about the amortization period or the length of time for which they locked in a rate?
>>
>>59094281
>>what is interest
Not sure what you're trying to argue here. The interest is baked into your monthly payment from the start, and it doesn't grow over time. After just a few years, that cost has gone down significantly in real terms simply by staying constant in nominal terms.
If your intent is to argue that interest is somehow "wasted" money, then you need to understand it as the cost of the money you're borrowing. If you buy a house for 500k and the total interest over your 30-year mortgage amounts to 250k, then you've effectively "spent" 250k to live in your home. You could think of this as having spent that money on rent over that 30-year period. And remember, that 250k doesn't change over that whole time, even though by the end of the loan, that money is all but guaranteed to be worth a lot less than when you started.

>>59094293
>>debt is good
>Slave mindset.
There is good debt, and there is bad debt. Loans that last a long enough time frame where the devaluation of the currency becomes relevant, and do not grow in nominal terms alongside inflation, are good loans to take advantage of as long as you can afford them.
>>
>>59094582
You gave him alot more time and respect with your answer than I did lol
>>
>>59094579
Most commonly, that "30 years" applies to both. However there are adjustable-rate mortgages which have, for example, an amortization period of 30 years but the interest rate changes after 5.

What should actually happen is infill development in suburbs. Rope off a small area, this is now your mini-Central Park/hoity-toity burgh, you must Capitalism to afford it (possibly also kicked out or forced to sublet a portion when you retire). Everywhere else: knock down the shittiest houses on the block, build n-plexes on the lots, AT LEAST 1500 sqft with AT LEAST natural light from 3 directions (preferably 1-2 whole floors per unit). Pick a centrally-located lot, convert it to a small co-op for daily goods. Allow for ACUs (Accessory Commercial Units), light industry with pollution regulations. Neighborhood work/study offices so that wfh/homeschool can have healthy socialization. Transit bike paths between neighborhoods, terminating at the nearby large town/city. Every neighborhood should be within a 20 minute ride of a regional transit line, rail or metro or segregated bus lines. Municipal fiber internet.

>if your interest is above the rate of inflation, it is no longer "good debt"
I don't necessarily disagree, but two important things to remember: For one, inflation fluctuates, while your mortgage interest rate remains constant. If your interest rate is only slightly above inflation, then one particularly inflationary year (see: 1974, 1980, 1990, 2008, 2021) can make the difference a wash. And two, when interest rates are low, you can refinance to reduce your total and monthly payment. Then, even when rates rise again, your payments stay at that lower level.

Can someone explain mortgages to me? If you get a 30 year mortgage of $500,000 at 4% interest rate, wtf does that actually mean?

How much will you have actually paid at the end of that 30 year period??

Co-pilot tells me I will have paid $859,320 after 30 years. So $500,000 for the loan, $359,320 in interest. Holy fuck, how do people afford this shit? Houses in my area are over a million dollars, so if I were to move out and buy my own place, it would cost me almost 2 million to buy a million dollar house? Is this for fucking real? Is 4% a realistic interest rate or would it be lower?

30 year rate is about 6.5% right now.

>>59095037
don't forget the property tax. which is very high in america. its 1pct of the value of your house per year. so 30 years later you pay another 30pct of that $500k to the state.

so you paid 150kproptax+359k interest+ 500k initial is $1MILLION for your 500k house.

Housecucks think this is a good deal
>>
>>59094996
you didn't necessarily say anything I disagree with either just that in an ideal situation if you have to choose one evil, it would be a low house price and high interest since the interest can always be refinanced away; you will always be stuck with a high price should something happen. We unfortunately live in an age where home prices are at record highs and interest is also high so more than likely, depending on your downpayment, your monthly interest could range from anywhere between $2000-2400 for the first few years. I'd rather gamble and rent for $1600/m for a few years hoping the market cools off a bit and interest maybe stabilizes or goes down before looking to buy a home while the investments I would have used for liquid accrue returns. Believe me I never wanted to ever expected to become a rentcuck but with how the housing market is at this current time and rates not making any sense despite the cuts, it becomes a more viable option daily

if you have a mortgage you don't own the house
It's virtually the same as renting except with one perk that you do have an ownership contract, that's basically it
After you fully "own" the house, you still technically don't own it since you have to pay property taxes on it which is basically extortion by state mafia not to evict you as soon as you can't afford the monthly "rental" fee
the whole system is fake and gay and I used to turn my nose up at rentoids but the more I learned the more I realized they make some valid arguments/criticisms

if you aren't going to raise a family there's 0 reason to ever get a mortgage. i guess if you want to raise a family then it's somewhat nice to actually pay the mortgage so your children will inherit something later. that's the only reason.

maybe like 1% of people with mortgages do that, for the rest it's a money black hole and they never liquidate it or only sell to buy a bigger house with a bigger mortgage

>>59092444
Honestly, if you have parents who already own a house and you go to the bank to get a loan to buy another house for yourself you basically failed at life as a family. Maximally exploiting the opportunity of the previous generation already going through this clownish life waste (at much better conditions) just to repeat it yourself... You'd have to be mentally impaired beyond repair, I mean if you absolutely MUST live in a house alone with your wife, just let your parents buy themselves a nice apartment, but pay the loan (much better conditions etc) for them.

You can also deduct mortgage payments from your taxes, and there's a tax exemption on capital gains from selling your house if you use that money within 6 months to buy another primary residence. You can use that for a nice tax loophole, where you sell your property after it has gone up in value, then buy a subsequent property in cash and take out a home equity loan after the fact. That way you owe 0 taxes on the appreciation of your house.

If it's a real mortgage (<3%) fixed rate, it's also not like that debt could ever come due or fuck you over in anyway. It's going to inflate less than the currency and if you ever just want to be done making payments you sell the ownership percentage you accumulated and drop the mortgage like a bad habit.

Checked

Normies don't even begin to grasp this stuff but you guys don't get it either. "Beating inflation" and "devaluation of the currency" is not some constant of the universe. The money supply only expands because people keep on taking bigger loans. House prices only go up because people keep on taking out bigger loans. Mortgage cucks are crabs in a bucket, trying to win at a ponzi scheme.

If everyone thought like this guy >>59096524 then everything would look very different. As it is though, he is potentially putting himself at a disadvantage.
>>
>>59096524
except you are still paying the bank interest when you rent. you are just paying it for landlord plus some extra profit for them plus tip
>>
>>59096945
yeah and all you get out of it is a place to live that you can do whatever you want with, an asset you can borrow on that historically has gone up in value massively and been safer than any other asset class, the ability to deduct your housing payments from your taxes, and intangibles such as feeling like a stakeholder in society, and the ability to turn away anyone you don't want on your property.
>>
here in Ausfailia, they have started jacking the interest rates on mortgages like crazy the last couple years. people have been losing houses and all the money they put in. meanwhile I have a fat stack of savings and can live out the boot of my car (the back seats fold down) if I can't ever afford to rent.
cope & sneed mortgage cucks. enjoy being a slave to the jew while I can dip out and take off anytime I feel like it :)

If they're the same thing, then there's also 0 reason to ever pay rent to a landlord instead? Why would I ever want to deal with a guy getting mad that I'm wrecking the value of his property, wants to do inspections all the time, and doesn't allow me to do repairs while also refusing to do them himself, if there's another option that's exactly the same except it doesn't have some gay middleman leech?
>>
>>59097778
>Might I ask how?
By being later to the ponzi. Taking a loan is creating new money. Whoever receives the loan gets to use the money first. By the time the money filters through the economy to you, prices have adjusted to the existence of the new money so it's worth less now. So they pay for the money but it's worth more to get it sooner (unless the ponzi ends which most of the time it doesn't).

The housing market isn't moving much where I live. Just kinda stable. And I am saving 100K long term by doing this. Yes, money devalues, but it doesn't devalue 100K.

This is what always put me off from getting a mortgage. It’s not like they give you the money for free, you have to pay it all back PLUS interest. When you compare that to renting + investing, you’ll probably have enough to buy outright after 30 years when your mortgage is paid off anyway. And you don’t have that crushing debt looming over your head for decades.

Inflation isn't the only consideration, there's tons of "hidden" costs to ownership. You're on the hook for property taxes, maintenance and repairs to maintain the value, insurance. Depending on the location you might have other costs like HOA fees. There's also non-zero risk of being on the hook for legal fees that needs to be accounted for, e.g. to deal with squatters, deadbeat tenants (if you rent it out), or somebody claiming they got injured on your property. After all that shit you'll come out ahead by renting.

everybody in this thread is a dumb larping goy mentioning what kind of imaginary waifu they lucked out on and what bigger McMansion shitbox they saved up to buy. what are the facts though? that living in the states is hell unless you're rural and at least a half mile away from a neighbor. literally any other option of homeownership in america is punishment waiting to happen. this is why I will never purchase another home again. the most the matrix will get out of me is $300 a year to rent a house in rural japan. ill keep the rest of my funds in something that doesn't degrade, dilute and need continuous ransom payments to hold onto.

Owning a house is overrated. I have seen my parents suffer most of their best years through a 20 year mortgage. Now they are in their 60's about to retire and the house is paid off which is great but they still have to do repairs, renovate and clean and work around the garden and whatnot in their 60's. They would have been far better off if they rented and put most of their money into the stock market. Less hustle, better returns.

I'm buying an estate once BOINK delivers.

kek. Between my tactical mortgage refinancing and crazy real estate price inflation, I'm now left with a 28 year mortgage with a 2.6% fixed rate for barely 20% of my home value.
I should have taken out some liquidity during refinancing, but I'm timid when it comes to leverage, even with such ludicrously good terms.
Anyway, that's like $250K of money I get to invest at much higher returns than 2.6%, and if an anon hurts my feelings by telling me I don't own my house, I'll just have to wipe my tears in all that free money.

What’s better than memes now? Honestly, not much. That's why degens are flocking to BOINK. Their user base keeps exploding, and it's not just for show—they’re cooking up something big.

It's mostly women driving these retarded decisions. "Owning" a home makes them feel good. It's been an incredible investment for the last 16 years too so good luck convincing normgroids that things are different now just because interest rates are a few hundred bippies higher.

The system is set up to force a certain amount/type of people to rent. Usually people without family money/hereditary access to federal subsidies.
