If I had talked about buying my house on xoxo in 2013, you probably would have said that it was a bad idea.

There's still deals to be had as long as you don't live in California.

You get a lot of leverage for a large investment at relatively low interest rates. Basically only way most people can build any type of "wealth". It's probably hard for rootless cosmopolitans to understand but some people like having a nice home that's theirs. It's like a decades long hobby.

yeah my grandma remarried after her first husband died. 2nd husband had the great idea to sell their home in like 1973 and rent an expensive apartment. he croaked, and she lived until 97 in that apartment. the rent soared to like $2,700/mo. it was a financial nightmare.

It's just a forced savings plan. You can definitely rent for cheaper than buying. Arguably the difference in $ you could stick in another investment and have the same outcome.

You can rent for cheaper than buying today. After tens years of inflation doing its thing that dynamic looks very different because your mortgage payment ain't ever going up but your rent sure will.

Even middle age.

Say you get a 30 year mortgage and pay for 10 years. You could refinance when rates go down on the smaller amount.

Or, you could make extra principal payments to save on interest, then after 10 years re-amoritize for a small fee and reduce payments while maintaining the same 30 year timeline.

I write off the interest. Will pay the same payment 30 years from now than I did in 2014.

Good luck with your rent payments at market in 30 years.

Taxes, write-offs. I write off internet and "home office" as expenses.

I get my own color scheme.

I'm beating market on the value of my home, rent considerations included.

My home is worth $130K more than I paid for it on day 1 in 4 years and I've put about $6K in upkeep.

Beat that.

Will you still be able to deduct all of that under the new Tax Plan?

This reminds me: I lol when people say they buy a house for the "tax write off".

All the tax deduction effectively is is a lower interest rate. It's no reason to buy but it's just a benefit that makes borrowing the money less costly.

After the tax write off, my rate is effectively the rate of inflation. A free 30 year loan is pretty sweet.

That seems optimistic given that you don't get to count the amount of interest equal to the standard deduction.

Boomer brainwashing, of course.

It symbolizes “status” to them.

It's often very difficult to find a rental home comparable to the house you would want to buy. even if you can, the rent usually will be way more than a comparable mortgage.

I've owned a few houses and rented a ton of apartments. Renting apartments, absent rent control/stabilization, means you have to be prepared to get your rent jacked every single year and either eat the cost or go through the incredible hassle of moving. Renting something legit nice is always a waste of money. If you buy it can be nice and it is just "an investment". Once you start looking at kids and shit, the concept of renting and needing to worry about moving every year becomes ridiculous.

there are pros and cons to both.

One of the pros is building equity and having your housing costs locked in. Also, you have more control. you can paint the walls however you want, install whatever, etc.

Renting has its 180 moments too. I didn't even pay for a fucking light bulb at my last apartment.

I just had my basement flood and it's going to cost me like $15k just to fix the root cause and remediate any possible mold.

STILL better than being an apartment cuck in a little glass cuckbox in the sky. I woke up and got to watch baby squirrels and rabbits playing in the yard, pet my puppyd00d, and walk down the driveway in my bathrobe to get the paper.

Your basement will smell damp forever, until you leave the house. It’s basically impossible to get rid of that.

Stability is really important for kids. Having to potentially move each year at the whim of your landlord is shitty for kids. It's also pretty beta if their dad isn't allowed to renovate or upgrade anything in the house without permission and if some landlord can just pop in to their house to check on it any time.

Also, like someone said, it's a hobby and provides an intangible joy. I feel a sense of pride when I finish a project or improve something. I feel a sense of pride knowing I own this little piece of land (yes, I know libertarians will flap their arms and scream about taxes).

The fact that it's a forced savings is nice, too. My total mortgage + taxes + insurance is a little cheaper than what it would cost me to rent a similar house but every month a big chunk goes into equity and most of the rest is tax deductible. If I were renting it would all just be wasted.

The fact that my property value has improved by like 25% is icing on the cake.

It only makes sense if you have career stability, which to my knowledge barely exists anymore. Unless the idea of spending your free time worrying about renovations and upkeep and selling so you can relocate to your new GC plantation sounds appealing to you, it isn’t advisable.

Yes, better to not own anything but to rent an expensive glammed up shoebox in a building with human trash (because the city made the developers let them in and give them 20% of the units) while paying as much as the guy who owns pays.
