User ID: 38487486 United States 05/17/2022 02:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot less than I would have to pay now. I did see an article recently about how younger people now are not going for anything large - the smaller and more eco friendly the better. Plus, they are absolutely ok living on top of each other. Not sure they are looking for the same thing. |

User ID: 81535779 United States 05/17/2022 03:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have always made a profit from selling our houses (in many states) the one that haunts me the most is the Cali house, sold it just before the market went nuts (20 yrs ago) could have made half a million more if we'd have waited 1 year. I sold our house in MO and paid cash for what I'm in now, but I was willing to put in the sweat equity to make it what I want it to be. A lot of young people aren't willing to do that, they want perfect up front....never gonna happen You have to train your mind to be stronger than your emotions or you will lose yourself every time |

My business is commercial real estate. Am selling now for $20-$30+ SF for something I bought for $2 SF (and some is just two years ago). |

Quoting: BFD That house is now worth 300k and the neighborhood has gone to shit. Wages have barely risen. Sure, it's still the suburbs but now they have to lock their doors... for reasons. Anyways, no wonder 30-40 somethings don't own homes. 1994 I paid $53,000 Now it's worth $422,000 Austin Texas |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82971977 United States 05/17/2022 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bought a home in 1976 for $27,500 in a very affluent, 1% area. Sold it in 2020 for $460,000.00 and could have made more except I'm not greedy. That was the 2nd bid, the 3rd was for $475,000.000 but it was a lesbian couple that wouldn't have fit in on our street. Bought a brand new home, new appliances, private court dead end, for $289,000.00. No bills, pension, bought a new car. Life it good! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80444227 United States 05/17/2022 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Never bought a house, but I use to buy properties instead. I used to by a lot build a house, live in it for a year while building, then sell it for a profit, doing it this way allows you to write off all taxes and permits and gives you a place to live free for a year. I have not done that in a decade now, 10 years ago I bought 4800 hectares for $35 an acre. And now I live off grid. |

( worth 2.5 million now ) 11’ paid 725k for a 5700 sf Dallas. 22’ sold 1.3 million. All I did was learn everything about home inspections and mortgages. The rest took care of itself. Never used any of my own money just in case I needed to walk away. Yes. There’s ways of using 100% someone else’s money. And you should. Use yours as investment vehicle. Because of the equity and I’m completely cashed out, I walked away with over 800k of someone else’s money. Spent it all to build my dream property. Should’ve kept that Seattle home. |
