So I guess the “official” rescue is underway as of like an hour Also: quote:Elon Musk has wished the “extremely talented dive team” luck on their mission, in a tweet that seems to indicate his involvement in the rescue efforts may have come to an end.

Capitalism rules lmao https://twitter.com/WSJ/status/1015646664856690688 quote:One startup, Loftium, will supply up to $50,000 for a down payment if the homebuyer agrees to rent out a room on Airbnb and share the income. A few organizations, like Unison Agreement Corp. and Landed Inc., offer “shared equity” contracts through which buyers get money for their down payments in exchange for pledging part of the home’s future value to investors like pension funds or foundations. And some banks, including Bank of America Corp. and Morgan Stanley , have programs through which young adults can get a mortgage with nothing down if their parents pledge investment assets as collateral.

I had a professor sit down with me and show me exactly why home ownership isn’t the be-all-end-all because it has been driven into me that buying a home is your first step to being wealthy (its way more nuanced than that but I don’t feel like getting into it). It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around how renting can be a better way to spend money than buying since you’re not building equity but we are going against 30 years of conditioning.

They've extracted as much wealth from millennials as they can to the point now where they're trying to extract future earnings. I'm not surprised at all. I would kinda want to see the language of these loans. What happens if AirBnB is declared illegal in my area after the fact? What happens if my parent's investments (  ) tanks with the economy and they're now worthless?

Casimir Radon posted:I still don't know who that is. You're probably trying to say you don't care, but I'll tell you anyway: A pretty good musician. The music is good; she does all or near-all of the production and provides layered vocals over it. Her videos range from big productions to just stuff pieced together that her videographer brother often filmed in between concerts and such while on tour or via a few day trips. Because she was a relatively unknown "weird" musician, who often traveled with a posse of lesser-known models/dancers, nerds became convinced she must also identify with liberalism or something, so they're mad about Musk. Also because she's cute, and people get jealous over the girl they were never going to meet/date anyway when they see them with a tool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2EJMd7ZN7w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FH-q0I1fJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtH68PJIQLE

The house buying thread does a good job of pointing out why, but from my own anecdotal experiences, I've had to spend $15,000 over 3 years on maintenance expenses that don't add to the equity of the house (fixing aluminum wiring and a broken sewage line). I've spent another $20,000 on improvements purely for personal enjoyment or improving quality of life (new windows, new flooring, etc). During that same period, I've probably gained $20,000 in equity in my mortgage. So in terms of money spent directly on the house (and remember, I'm not including interest, insurance, or tax payment here), I've effectively paid $65,000 for $20,000 worth of equity, a loss of 60%. psydude fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Getting your parents to sign on to the mortgage is nothing new, but the airbnb thing sure is! Wonder if we could set up a car loan company where the lender has to use it for ubering people around.

Buying a house also makes waaaay less sense if you're only able to make the most basic of down payments and then make minimum payments on your mortgage. I still debate whether or not buying the house I now rent out was worth it, and the only reason it's still up in the air for me is that it's in a solid rental market (but not great selling market), and I paid the house off in less than 9 years. We lived in it for about 4 years, and it's been rented out the rest of the time.

My parents arent on the mortgage but the only reason I was able to buy a house this year instead of 3-5 years from now is because my grandma had a sudden death and left my mother some money which she gave to help me with a down payment and furniture etc.

Buying a house to rent out is a pretty good investment, since the tenants are subsidizing the equity and you can write off basically everything. But boomers are specifically talking about living in it to build wealth.

Owning a house (owing money on it, really) has tax advantages for a lot of people, mortgages allow most people to take on a lot more leverage than they could otherwise, and primary residences are mostly exempt from capital gains. It's enforced savings which can be psychologically difficult for some people, which allows for additional stability and cash flow flexibility in situations that would get a non-saving renter into trouble. Whether buying one is a good decision is very conditional. But it's worth noting that a huge portion of upper middle class wealth is tied up primary residences for the above reasons.

Boomers need to die already. Speaking of needing to die, goddamn Rudy Giuliani went on CNN and ruined my thai cave coverage with stupid bullshit. I loving hope he dies of a massive stroke while in the middle of a televised interview, so I can watch the misery and his realization that he's not gonna go out in a dress and heels like he always hoped.
