File your homestead exemption dummy. You'll still be owned, but at least it caps the rate at which you get... more owned?

yeah but I bought a year ago and there’s a year long gap until homestead kicks in so I’m thoroughly owned

My loan officer was actively talking me out of 20% down. They kept insisting on 3.5% because the PMI would be so low it'd be better to save the rest of the down-payment for something else.

lol yeah i spent years saving up 20% and it stopped me from buying in 2018 or 2019 when I could have. That would have saved me so much money. I did end up putting 20% down, even though some of that went to paying an appraisal gap

look at the size of this loving kitchen, you can't even fit it all in one pic. it's almost bigger than my home

how many loving cabinets do you need, there's like 50 doors and drawers just in this pic, what the gently caress are they putting in these

those appliances are probably 10-15k alone. of course you could also upgrade to the pelosi package of a separate subzero fridge and freezer (10k each), wolf wall oven, and whatever else and prob spent 35k just on those. don't forget the 5k miele built in coffee maker



That's the guest facing kitchen. There's another kitchen area for caterers and personal chefs that's more industrial in form and function behind a door. The cabinets in that picture are almost empty

i'd be surprised if the majority of posters over 35 don't own a place

home ownership is still pretty common

the only posters over 35 who own in an area that isn’t blasted out or remote are pmc/computer touching white collars or have generational wealth (aka mommy and daddy bought them a house or most of a house because they got married or something)

There are so many Airbnbs. gently caress them all.

I'm in Austin about 2 miles away from downtown and probably 30% of the houses near me are Airbnbs. Theres a big airbnb behind me and the owners are old boomers and are constantly renting it out to groups of women all going WOOOOO or men going YEEAAAH until 2am. I think I'd be near about good if all of these fuckers lost their poo poo and sold, i don't give a gently caress about equity or my house price

I hate Airbnb so much

Isn't Austin so ridiculously hot and humid in the summer to the point where you have to stay inside where there's air conditioning?

imo it is unbearable July-August but the weather is good for the rest of the year except for the 3-5 days of real winter per year. (unbearable to me are relentless stretches of dew points above 70 or lows above 75)

I keep my thermostat set to 80 though 24/7 and exercise outside daily, I may be poisoned.

my grandparents had an old un-air conditioned house I’d go to in the summer. as long as you have a fan and aren’t expecting to be in a meat locker in a hot and humid place, it’s fine imo. but I’m also not obese and have been in Texas most of my life

the trick is to have so much money that it’s not a problem if the 150k improvement sitting on the 800k lot is falling apart. you can spend your way through it or just remodel it or bulldoze and rebuild. or sit on it, eventually bulldoze it and sell it for profit because the land value has grown so much that it surpasses its previous value with a house sitting on it. people don’t talk about this trick enough when it comes to buying a home
