out here we got one like that. she opposed the new apartment complex and delayed it a couple years. she doesn’t actually live in town proper. she moved out here from Bellevue only a couple years before. but she has strong opinions about that empty field being “quintessentially *redacted small town* “. used to see her approach folks in the grocery store about it before covid.

You can pay moneyb up front to reduce your interest rate. Effect on your monthly payment is somewhat higher than paying more down payment but you don't get equity

I see. I figured based on context and general terminology it was percentage points of something somewhere, but thanks cor the info E: Mortgage points are the fees a borrower pays a mortgage lender in order to trim the interest rate on the loan. This is sometimes called “buying down the rate.” Each point the borrower buys costs 1 percent of the mortgage amount. So, one point on a $300,000 mortgage would cost $3,000. Each point typically lowers the rate by 0.25 percent, so one point would lower a mortgage rate of 4 percent to 3.75 percent for the life of the loan. How much each point lowers the rate varies among lenders, however. The rate-reducing power of mortgage points also depends on the type of mortgage loan and the overall interest rate environment.

Just for giggles I punched my data into one of those mortgage potential calculators and it thinks I can spare $985 a month for mortgage and interest (i currently am paying $695 rent instead) and thus should pop out and buy an $183,000 house tomorrow. Both of those numbers seem incorrect to me but thats not Homeowner Thought i guess Also, a lot of houses in my region have suddenly dropped this week down into that price range! Thats probably not a sign or anything.

Both of those numbers seem incorrect to me but thats not Homeowner Thought i guess Those calculators also don't consider the maintenance and potential HOA costs you don't see as a renter, so your monthly can end up being a lot more than 985. It really stinks of pre-2008 when people were convinced to take bloated mortgages on small budgets by not being told all the hidden costs and risks.

A friend sent this https://cdn.nar.realtor/sites/defau...-05-12-2022.pdf I thought it was pretty interesting. Institutional buyers made up 13% of sales last year which is less than I would have expected. Also, my local state of Vermont has that number at a whopping 0%, meaning the people yelling about institutional buyers on local reddit are wrong and really the pincers loving us locally are bad supply combined with an influx of affluent individuals from CT/NYC/etc who can just come make cash offers at 150% market on whatever they want to buy as a COVID-escape-zone. Granted, there's still not much here to feel good about except "things aren't that bad, yet". Tell that to unhomed people.

I wonder how this map compares to the degree of tenant rights/renter protections. I wouldn't be surprised if institutional investors prefer to buy in states with fewer laws protecting tenants. Also, does the 13% include wealthy people casually buying a second house to rent or Airbnb? It didn't sound like that was in the definition of "institutional" (unless they use an LLC), but I may have misread it. I'd be curious how that fits into the larger statistics.

anime was right posted:do they know something we dont about climate change or energy lol No, they just had a sack of money and were told to buy as many houses as possible in urban and suburban areas, so they focused on the cheapest areas. The fact that those places are the ones most likely to collapse when the bubble pops only matters if they're the ones footing the bill for that, and they aren't.

I wouldn't be surprised if institutional investors prefer to buy in states with fewer laws protecting tenants. Texas has shockingly strong renter protections in many ways, left over from the early 20th century. No rent control (but what city has rent control anymore) but I was shocked at how lax california's tenant protections were when I moved out there in 2015. It's literally just that texas has 4 major cities, one of which is an oil town and another is a tech town, and very cheap compared to the coasts (except austin, nowadays).

Lots of boomers are moving to the sunbelt because it's cheaper to live there and they like the heat so there's currently a lot of growth and construction in those markets. That's it really.
