Who has that kind of job security anymore to earn $200k+ for 30+ years? Seems insanely difficult.

Chinese-speakers accounted for 1.66 percent of home purchases, up from 1.52 percent a decade ago, RealtyTrac said.

https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-property-cashbuyers/u-s-home-buyers-paying-cash-rises-to-third-of-sales-realtytrac-idUSL1N1252IS20151006

Data from 2015, so probably higher now. And I'm sure they're a much larger percentage in Seattle/LA/NYC.

yeah unless you're a doctor or have a really successful business, i'm not sure how you could tie yourself down like that. but there's literally nothing below $800k in LA that doesn't have a major red flag against it, and in many cases, multiple red flags.

i know so many people that get major help from parents too. i guess that's another contingent.

the american dream is basically dead for me.

i know a married doctor couple who were in dallas and when they formed babby they both quit and moved bc basically for 150K/yr they were on call like every fucking week and were putting in 100+hrs/wk while the boomers boomed everything

The only people I know who bought houses in the Bay Area recently:

- All cash chinese buyers (some legit billionaires from China)

- Millennials whose parents give them 500K+ down payment for a place and the millennials work in high tech jerbs making like 400k+ HHI, but obviously mummy and daddy are helping out

- Some other dude and his wife who work for the fed government making low six figs, but the guy's parents are loaded and paid more than half of the house as a down payment

- Trust fund kid who works a real job, but obviously the trust fund, and not the job, paid for the house

I can't think of a single person who paid for their house on their own without mommy and daddy's help/trust fund/independently wealthy

i know this chinese-american doctor. he's an anesthesiologist, so probably makes like $250k. wife makes $130k.

bought a $2.4m house in westwood.

apparently his parents gave him $600k, her parents chipped in $200k, and he'll be renting out the apartment his parents bought for him a few years ago in santa monica for $3-4k per month.

not hating, he's a good guy, but i just can't compete with that.

not sure what oyu are talking about. for most high earning couples, they have plenty of cash flow to handle the monthly payments, it's the down payment thats the issue. if you dont get parental help, the answer is to either grind and save several years, or get lucky with appreciation of a previous cheap property

i had middle lcass friends that bought a shit pure shit 500k house that they sold for 1M later to upgrade to a nicer home

It’s easy to upgrade when all you need for the upgrade is cash for the down payment.

For instance, buy a condo at $325k, sell it 3-4 years later for $550k and the proceeds from the sale provides a huge chunk of the down payment on a $1.5m house.

i mean presumably you are making more and more money as you wagecuck like normal people

if you are making 300k in your 30s you should be making 4-500 as you get into your 40s and 50s

sure, it's possible. you could also get laid-off and never land on your feet, one of you could get cancer, your wife could justifiably want to stay-at-home

the margin of error is basically nil at this point

More like, save for a bigger down payment in 10 years, keep existing home and rent it out after you buy a nicer property during a market crash.

but I guess you can’t envision a situation where wagecucks are not struggling to maintain their mortgage payments and can afford to own multiple properties.

Nobody actually lives in a home for 30 years anymore. Maybe 10 at most. Then you sell it at a profit if you’re in NY/CA.

pumo brother above makes the point that other homes in those areas will have also appreciated. what profit? at some point you're either moving away or downsizing big time.

plus, for some people, like me, i'm drawn to having a "family home" that i can live in for 30 years and really make my own.

and lol at millennials getting last little tiny sliver of "profit" after buying at the tops of the market for the foreseeable future

Northridge, porter ranch, granada hills, chatsworth all are kind of shitty.

If you are doing the valley, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Encino, and Studio City are credited.

Woodland Hills (where I live) is the best bang for your buck. You can buy a 3 or 4 bedroom 1500 sq/ft home for around 650k. If you can go to 800k though you can get 2000 sq/ft.

The area is blowing up. I think it will get the most appreciation of anywhere in the valley over the next 5 years. Warner Center is getting tons of money poured into it and the new stuff they have built is really nice. There are tons of restaurants, a great mall, good movie theaters, and a bunch of nice bars popping up on ventura blvd. Plus the schools are really good if you want to raise kids. I love this area a lot.

E-mail me (calishitlawguru@gmail.com). Maybe we can meet up if you're local.

i live in studio city. we are just really tired of the 101, man. there are more asshole drivers in the valley and specifically in the cities you mention than anywhere. in the other areas you have the 118 and access to the 5/210/405.

plus, schools in those areas are a lot worse. granada and porter both have decent public schools. we can't afford private.

we looked at woodland earlier in our search. the village is pretty nice and the homes are affordable (though gaudy as fuck lol), but the 101 and schools were the big negatives.

we've interacted before, i'm too much of a chicken to out myself. but huge fan of you and your work both on the board and in IRL. if i ever get in a fender bender i'm definitely reaching out.

You shouldn't be afraid to out yourself to me. At least 30 people have given me their real info and I've met a couple dozen. You should come hang out with us all some time. There are a lot of LA people I regularly socialize with from XO.

The homes in Woodland Hills are gaudy? Can you link an example? They seem normal to me.

Dumb premise.

You don’t have to be certain you’ll make all 360 payments. You just have to be confident that you’ll be able to sell it at a reasonable price if you can’t. Obviously, there’s a ponzi element to this thought process, but there are big downsides to renting, too, and you have to live somewhere.

Most people bought them when they cost half as much. Those that buy them at 800 will live there for 25 years and by the end inflation will make it seem like 800 is super cheap and the house will be worth 1.5 MM.
